✦ Synopsis

The design of the cassettes, the units forming a desalination module, is described in some detail. The stacking of the cassettes in a module is illustrated. A description is given of the field-test system. The measuring equipment and the test arrangements are described.

Comparisons between the theoretically calculated and the actual performance are made, and an "imperfection factor" is introduced. The variation of this factor as a function of various operation parameters is shown. Graphic illustrations of the theoretical influence on performance of main system parameters are presented.

SYMBOLS b

--membrane thickness. At_p ~ difference between theoretical and actual temperature loss.

Membrane distillation is a process in which, for example water in a heated salt solution, evaporates through a porous membrane. The vapor condenses on a coolant surface at the other side of the membrane. The two liquid streams, the salt solution and the condensate, are separated by a nonwettable (hy
