Membrane Distillation

Membrane Distillation (MD), a temperature driven membrane separation process, is widely used in desalination, concentration in food industries, acid manufacturing, removing organic and heavy metals, and treating radioactive waste. This process offers advantages such as:

Low operating temperatures
Low hydrostatic pressures
Less susceptibility to fouling
Ability to use renewable energy or waste heat

Applications

Membrane Distillation (MD) is widely used in separation processes such as:

Desalination
Concentration in food industries
Acid manufacturing
Removing organic and heavy metals
Treating radioactive waste

Sterlitech carries membranes specifically for membrane distillation:

PTFE (Unlaminated, Laminated, and Aspire Laminated)

These membranes vary in terms of pore size, thickness, polymer, which in turn effect permeability, chemical compatibility, and water entry pressure. All are hydrophobic, and have different maximum operating temperatures.
