Abstract:

Membrane Distillation is an Advance Separation Technique, where we exploit the attributes like the selective nature of the membrane. That provides an advantage over conventional technology. It also has low energy consumption and initial investment cost over conventional technology. This paper reviews Design Parameters of Membrane Distillation Process for Water Treatment (Desalination). As MD has four major types, this paper focuses on Direct Contact MD due to simple design and low operation energy requirement, general mitigation technique & different foulants and fouling mechanism. MD can concentrate feed solutions to their saturation point without negligible flux decline; MD Technique reduces capital and operation costs by using low-grade waste energy or solar energy.
The practical large-scale application of membrane distillation is mainly obstructed by a few issues like High energy requirement, membrane fouling & scaling causing wetting of pores of the membrane, and this paper gives a review on some of the solutions on optimizing MD system concerning thermal efficiency and membrane fouling and scaling for Desalination.
