“…The heat lost by the conduction is lower; hence, AGMD is using an energy efficient module. The latent heat can be recovered during the condensation of the vapor on cooling plate in the AGMD configuration [61][62][63][64]. Hence, the modified MD processes such as memstill technique [65], Scrab AB systems [66,67], and Fraunhofer ISE MD module [68] are based on the AGMD configuration.…”

A B S T R A C TMembrane distillation (MD) is a non-isothermal separation process driven on the vapor pressure difference, induced by the temperature difference across the hydrophobic membrane. This paper offers the review of the potentability of MD process for purification application and water desalination. It covers the basic fundamental of MD process, MD modules, membrane materials, heat and mass transfer phenomena, operating parameters, and performance of MD process. It also covers the review of MD processes driven by renewable energy sources and current innovations in the process. The recent research results in these different areas are presented and discussed. The multi-effect MD process is found to be a new generation MD process and attractive research area in the wastewater treatment and purification application for the commercial approach.

“…respectively, h f and h p are the heat transfer coefficient of feed and permeate thermal boundary layer, respectively, ΔH v is the latent heat of vaporization. In AGMD, the heat transfer coefficient for the condensate film (h d ) can be calculated by the following equation [63,90].…”

“…MD process is known for more than 16 50 years [3]. The MD has been extensively studied for the various 17 processes such as desalination of seawater or brackish water, 18 concentration of solutions, removal of volatile organic compounds, 19 removal of heavy metals and toxic elements from water and other 20 separation and purification processes [4][5][6][7][8][9]. MD has significant 21 advantages over other processes such as it operating at low 22 temperature and the ability to run at low pressure.…”

“…The AGMD has a disadvantage that it has a low 41 permeate flux due to the additional resistance to mass transfer 42 [14]. But the main advantages of AGMD configuration are low 43 conductive heat losses, low temperature polarization effect and 44 possible internal heat recovery [15][16][17][18][19][20], and lower chance to 45 surface membrane wetting because the absence of direct contact 46 between the membrane and permeate side due to an air gap [21].…”
