Membrane Distillation
Applications:
Sea and Brackish Water Desalination
Process Water Treatment
Wastewater Treatment
Separation of Clean Water from Oil in Water Emulsions
We highly recommend using a membrane spacers to better support the membrane and help it resist bending and tearing.
Detailed lists of spacers for each cell size are found here (CF016 Size-CF042 Size-Sepa Size)
