What we want to do:
Different membrane distillations represent new trends in energy savings. Specific waste water treatments, desalination etc. are the key applications. However, there are two reasons why large scale applications do not exist yet – high investment and operation costs. Development of Low Cost Membrane Distillation is the goal. The membrane and heat exchanger subsystems will use just polymer hollow fibers. Therefore corrosion, some manufacturing and construction problems will be eliminated to cut down significantly the membrane distillation cost. Computer programs for evaluation of the parameters of both membrane distillation types will be prepared to optimise the designs.
