Treatment of waters colored with methylene blue dye by vacuum membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Textile industries consume large amounts of water and generate highly dye-contaminated effluents. Textile wastewaters have to be treated in order to be recycled in the process or to meet legislative requirements before ...
Concentration of sucrose solutions via vacuum membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
The potential use of vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) process for the concentration of sucrose solution was examined. The effect of several parameters, including feed temperature, flow rate, and initial sucrose concentration ...
Field evaluation of membrane distillation technologies for desalination of highly saline brines
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a hybrid thermal-membrane desalination process that uses low-grade waste heat and hydrophobic membrane to produce high quality distillate. The MD process can treat highly saline brines that ...
Integration of Energy and Wastewater Treatment Alternatives with Process Facilities to Manage Industrial Flares during Normal and Abnormal Operations: Multiobjective Extendible Optimization Framework
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
This work reports an extendible multiobjective optimization framework to find the optimal configuration of energy utilization and wastewater treatment facility of the process. It incorporates two sustainable energy integration ...
Membrane Distillation Crystallization Hybrid Process for Zero Liquid Discharge in QAFCO Plant
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Qatar fertilizer company (QAFCO) is one of the world’s largest single site producer of ammonia and urea with production capacity of 12,900 metric tons per day. Currently, QAFCO faces major challenges in terms of water ...
Activated carbon-doped polystyrene fibers for direct contact membrane desalination
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Article)
Membranes for direct contact membrane distillation were produced from electrospun polystyrene microfibers doped with activated carbon. The addition of activated carbon reduced the hydrophobicity of the fibers. Therefore, ...
Synoptic analysis of direct contact membrane distillation performance in Qatar: A case study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
The aim of this study is to evaluate a bench scale direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) performance using flat sheet polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane at different inlet flow rates, temperatures, and salinity ...
Reducing flux decline and fouling of direct contact membrane distillation by utilizing thermal brine from MSF desalination plant
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Fouling and scaling is one of the major challenges in membrane distillation process. This study investigates the utilizing of thermal rejected brine produced from multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) to minimize fouling ...
Molecular Dynamic Simulations of Fibrous Distillation Membranes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The rate of heat and mass transfer through distillation membranes is typically estimated using an over-simplified, straight-cylindrical-pore approach coupled with several empirical correction factors that are included to ...
Surface regeneration of templated PVDF membrane for efficient microalgae-rich high saline aquaculture wastewater treatment in membrane distillation
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigated the use of templated PVDF membranes with intermediate flushing to revive fouled membrane during membrane distillation (MD) for sustainable high saline seawater aquaculture wastewater treatment. ...
