Membrane distillation (MD)

i n f o Generally speaking, it should be noted that CFD-based models are very qualitative. Actually, in practice the selection of the best case, i.e. the specific microstructure for membrane or spacer geometry and the module geometry includes a trade-off between the costs of membranes needed to produ

Fouling remains a significant challenge in the application of membrane distillation process to the desalination industry. This study was focused on the characterizations of fouling layer on the membrane of a membrane distillation process fed with real seawater reverse osmosis concentrate. The deposit

Membrane wetting and fouling were studied using hollow-fiber polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes to concentrate reverse osmosis (RO) brine in a direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) process. The effect of the operating conditions, such as the feed temperature, the flow velocity and the feed
