Design and construction of a machine to desalinate sea sand and to prepare it as fine aggregate for the construction industry

Abstract

Design and construction of a machine to desalinate and sieve sea sand is discussed. Initially, a full scale machine was designed according to the requirement. Then, the device was modelled using Pro/Engineer to depict the features and the operation of the desalination device. Finally, a miniature physical model of the proposed design was constructed to demonstrate the desalination and the sieving process.
