Aquatech's Advanced Vacuum Membrane Distillation (AVMD) Technology Featured in Chemical Engineering World

Increasing regulations and pressure for industries around the world to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) and Minimal Liquid Discharge (MLD) highlight a growing need for affordable and efficient brine management technologies. 

Our Advanced Vacuum Membrane Distillation (AVMD) can overcome the limitations of conventional thermal technologies by providing: 

• Lower operating costs & footprint than conventional technologies
• Consistent distillate quality, even when dealing with high brine concentrations
• Consistently high flux & low fouling due to innovative design
• Superior effluent quality with 35% total solids for further brine volume reduction or recovery

In our recent article in Chemical Engineering World titled “Advanced Vacuum Membrane Distillation (AVMD): Cost-Effective and Sustainable Solution for ZLD,” we discuss how this technology works at relatively low temperatures, leading to lower energy demand and separates vapors from brine through hydrophobic membranes.
