Reversing membrane wetting in membrane distillation: comparing dryout to backwashing with pressurized air

Reversing membrane wetting in membrane distillation: comparing dryout to backwashing with pressurized air

The critical failure mode for membrane distillation (MD) desalination is wetting through the pores of the hydrophobic membrane, which allows the saline solution to leak through and contaminate the permeate. The standard practice for reversing membrane wetting is to dry out the membrane for several h...
