Emerging technologies present many new possibilities for diversifying the desalination
industry, which is currently dominated by thermal desalination, and reverse osmosis. In this …

The productivity enhancement of a single threshold membrane distillation (MD) module is
sought via distributed feed arrangement. The threshold module is 15 m long with a total feed …

This work theoretically studies the capability of using vortex tubes to provide the necessary
heating and cooling energies required by a typical direct-contact membrane distillation (MD) …

A pilot plant comprising membrane distillation is tested for coordinated inlet temperature for
the feed and cold streams with a fixed difference. Selected inlet temperature differences of …

This work involves an experimental investigation of a novel air gap membrane distillation
(AGMD) unit with an installed circulating fan within the condensation chamber. The installed …

In this study, a nonlinear dynamic model is developed to capture the transient response of
the outlet temperatures of a direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). Different structures …

This study analyzed the economic factors of geothermal energy source utilization for
desalination and power generation near Salton Sea, California. Three following over …

Membrane distillation is an emerging process that attracts real and increasing interest from
academia and industry. It is powered by low grade thermal energy coming for example from …

We consider the development and fitting of a dynamic model for desalinated water
production by a direct-contact membrane distillation (DCMD) unit. Two types of dynamic …

Multistage membrane distillation units connected in series for water desalination is
considered. The influence of the number of stages and the module length per stage on the …
