R3MOD AVMD™

Advanced Vacuum Membrane Distillation

Combining our expertise in thermal evaporation processes with advanced membrane technology, we have developed a highly optimized method for directly treating RO reject or similar brine streams, with minimal pre-conditioning required.   

Aquatech’s AVMD offers a game-changing approach to brine volume reduction and high-quality distillate recovery. It is designed to meet the demanding requirements of zero or minimal liquid discharge (ZLD/MLD) applications.

Advantages of AVMD Technology

01 / 08
High Water Recovery

High Water Recovery

Consistently achieves over 90% recovery even from high-concentration brines due to superior salt rejection, producing ultrapure, low TDS distillate.
Lower CapEx

Lower CapEx

Modular, skid-mounted configuration enables lower capital costs than conventional thermal evaporation, especially for smaller capacity applications.
Fouling Resistant

Fouling Resistant

Innovative membrane design eliminates fouling by separating the membrane from brine, enabling consistently high flux and pure distillate quality.
Solvent/Material Recovery Capabilities

Solvent/Material Recovery Capabilities

Can handle non-volatile organics, enabling cost-effective wastewater treatment, solvent recycling, and valuable material recovery.
High Flux Rate

High Flux Rate

Proprietary vacuum process, specialized membrane, and innovative engineering design enable consistently high flux over double conventional membrane distillation. 
High-Quality Effluent

High-Quality Effluent

Produces superior quality effluent with up to 35% total dissolved solids, enabling further brine volume reduction and recovery.
Reduced Costs

Reduced Costs

Minimizes installation, commissioning and operating costs to deliver a highly cost-competitive brine concentration and water reuse solution.
Temperature

Temperature

High-temperature resistance allows the hydrophobic membranes to withstand feedwater up to 90°C while maximizing operating life.

Aquatech’s AVMD combines the principles of vacuum distillation and membrane separation to achieve efficient and cost-effective water purification. Here’s how it works:

Vacuum Application: AVMD uses a vacuum to lower the boiling point of water, enabling low-temperature vaporization to reduce the energy input required for the process.   

Membrane Separation: The generated water vapor transports through a specialized hydrophobic microporous membrane that blocks contaminants. 

Distillate Collection: On the permeate side of the membrane, the pure water vapor condenses into high-quality distillate. This distillate is separated from the concentrated brine or wastewater feed, resulting in the purification of water.  

Brine Disposal: The concentrated brine or wastewater can be further processed for material recovery or disposed of per regulations.
