Membrane distillation (MD) lags behind other desalination processes such as reverse
osmosis due to relatively high energy consumption. Heating in membrane distillation forms a …

The scarcity of clean water sources has become a global concern in the present-day society.
This has driven to the extraction of fresh water from produced water (PW), from the oil and …

In recent decades, problems related to fresh water has become a very important issue for
humans. Small-scale desalination (SSD) systems, besides large-scale desalination (LSD) …

A hybrid multi-stage flash and multi-stage membrane distillation system for freshwater
recovery from the rejected MSF brine is studied. The proposed system reduces …

Along with the decline of fresh water resources, desalination has grown in an increasingly
significant technology. The utilization of sustainable energy sources, especially solar …

As a promising desalination technology, membrane distillation is expected to be developed
continuously due to its wide application and low sensitivity to salt concentration in the feed …

A novel omniphobic membrane was fabricated for anti-surfactant-wetting membrane
distillation (MD) by electrospinning hybrid nanofibers comprising cellulose acetate (CA) and …

Experimental investigations of an air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) unit were carried
out to study the energy-saving by heat recovery. The spiral air gap membrane module in the …

Membrane distillation provides a feasible and optimal solution to potable water issues. The
literature contains a number of studies and research studies that aim to understand the …

This study presents an analysis of a detailed theoretical model and optimization of a novel
large-scale multistage water gap membrane distillation (WGMD) unit with an internal gap …
