Comparative assessment of the effects of 3D printed feed spacers on process performance in MD systems

In this study, process enhancements achieved by the use of 3D printed feed spacers based on triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) were comparatively assessed using the two most common membrane distillation (MD) configurations: air gap (AGMD) and direct contact (DCMD). The MD performance was assess...
