Nowadays access to safe water remains difficult for 1 in 9 people around the world. In addition to drinking and sanitation, access to water also means education, economy, and health prosperity.[1] This issue is not getting better since it is expected that global water demand should increase by 55% between 2000 and 2050. [2] Exploitable freshwater represents about 3% of global water volume of which 2% is in the form of ice or snow. Fresh liquid water is mostly available in underground aquifers, rivers, lakes or rainfalls. Whereas, seawater represents about 97% of the global water volume.[3, 4] Since seawater can be considered as an infinite water source, multiple desalination techniques have been developed for potable water production. Despite their relatively good energy efficiency, these systems still demand high energy and a reliable energy source. Membrane Distillation is a new promising distillation technique under development which could give an answer to these issues. This work investigates the design, sizing, construction, and validation of a laboratorial scale membrane distillation system, to be used as a membrane test bench at the University of Wollongong. The construction of the setup will consist of the sizing and manufacturing of a membrane distillation module. It will also consist of the sizing of the pumps, the modification and testing of a flowmeter. The selection of a weight scale and the setup of a real-time data acquisition will be necessary. Finally, a support box will be made to fix and organize all the elements.
The end of this work will consist in testing the setup as well as validate it with a commercial membrane as a standard.
