  • Solar membrane distillation system and method of use
    Patent number: 8470179
    Abstract: A water distillation system includes a membrane distillation unit which produces desalinated water from feed water comprising salt water. The system also includes a primary water heater which raises a temperature of the feed water upstream of the feed water entering the membrane distillation unit. The system additionally includes an evaporative cooler which lowers a temperature of a coolant upstream of the coolant entering the membrane distillation unit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 12, 2012
    Date of Patent: June 25, 2013
    Assignee: King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology
    Inventors: Ibrahim A. Al-Arifi, Hisham Taha Abdulla El-Dessouky
