• Modifications of support layer were conducted using a commercial PTFE/PP bi-composite membrane. • Macro punctures of support layer were designed based on the porosity of the support layer. • Porosity of support layer and sizes of macro punctures affected the fluxes of the modified membranes. • The or

Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) module was operated with three flat sheet commercial membranes (PTFE/PP 1.0, PTFE/PP 0.45, and PTFE/PE 0.45) under various operating conditions. High flux was observed when the PTFE/PP 1.0 membrane was used and there was no membrane wetting when the feed con
