Seawater distillation using vacuum pumps and ultraviolet lights to improve desalination process and freshwater quality

An experimental study of solar thermal vacuum membrane distillation desalination

An experimental desalination system coupling a vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) unit and a vacuum tube solar heat collection (SHC) unit was developed and tested. The parametric sensitivity of the VMD unit performance was investigated first using an electric heater as the heat source, and then the whole system was examined using solar heat. It was revealed that hot feed temperatures higher tha...
