This search presents a study for some types of fresh water generators FWGs, giving an overview of each type and comparing them with other types, and knowing the design criteria for different designs, as well as studying their advantages and disadvantages, including thermal desalting which types are vapor compression (VC), multi stage flash distillation (MSF), multiple effect distillation (MED), and multiple effecte evaporator, adsorption desalination, membrane distillation (MD), freezing desalination, and hydrate desalination. Then we studied the non-thermal desalination process, which includes electro-dialysis (ED), ion exchange desalination (IX), extraction desalination process, and additional types of fresh water generators FWGs.
