Membrane Distillation

 

Membrane Distillation (MD) is a relatively new and promising separation technology that is an alternative to more energy-intensive methods such as reverse osmosis or distillation. MD is a thermally driven process where only vapour molecules transfer through a hydrophobic (water repellent), microporous membrane.

Applications:

  • Sea and Brackish Water Desalination
  • Process Water Treatment
  • Wastewater Treatment
  • Separation of Clean Water from Oil in Water Emulsions
