Etude de l’application de la distillation membranaire au dessalement des eaux

Written by sctunisie no comments

In this work, the air gap membrane distillation is used in order to desalinize synthetic waters having temperature and concentration comparable to those of geothermal and brackish waters from the South of Tunisia. An experimental laboratory apparatus is built up. Different operating parameters have been investigated, such as the feed flow rate, the sodium chloride concentration, the temperature and the air gap width. The obtained results are in a good agreement with those found in literature, The AGMD is adapted to desalt waters having a sensible heat (e.g. geothermal waters).
