โœฆ Synopsis

In this paper the transport processes in Membrane Distillation (MD) are described by reformulation of the conventional theories of heat and mess transfer. This analysis highlights the sources of potential inefficiency in the MD process and provides a rationale for future developments.

The theory is used to analyse pilot plant data and optimise the designs of larger scale systems. A preliminary economic analysis shows that under some conditions MD is competitive with RO for production of distilled or potable water for industrial or arid-zone use.

Membrane distillation carded out in a counter current flow module, in which latent heat is recovered by heating the incoming cold seawater with the condensing product water flow, is a promising technology for low cost seawater desalination.

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Energy efficient alternatives to distillation for alcohol recovery from dilute solution are needed to improve biofuel sustainability. A process integrating steam stripping with a vapor compression step and a vapor permeation membrane separation step is proposed. The obje
