Zero Water Consumption: This is the biggest advantage. It eliminates the need for a large water source (river, sea, or cooling tower), making it ideal for arid and semi-arid regions.
Environmental Compliance: Avoids thermal pollution of water bodies and chemical treatment of cooling water (biocides, anti-scalants).
Simplified Water Treatment: The condensate is in a closed loop, so only minimal makeup water treatment is needed.
Location Flexibility: Plants can be built independent of a large water source, often reducing water pipeline costs.
Lower Operating Cost (in some aspects): Eliminates costs for water pumping, water treatment chemicals, and discharge permits.
