Modeling and Multi-Response Optimization of Direct Contact Membrane Distillation for Water Desalination
Modelling and multi-response optimization of direct contact membrane distillation for water desalination are studied to search for a balance between high water productivity and low energy consumption and to maximize water productivity and thermal efficiency simultaneously. Response surface methodology and desirability function approach are applied for modeling and multi-response optimization
in which the investigated objectives are water productivity and thermal efficiency. The effects of both operating parameters and configuration parameters of membrane module are investigated. These parameters include inlet temperatures of feed and permeate
flow velocity of feed
module packing density
and length-diameter ratio of module on the objectives. Models for predicting the
objectives are developed and statistically validated by analysis of variance. It is found that both objectives are significantly influenced by the interaction effects of these variables. The different binary interaction effects of the variables on the objectives are illustrated. Multi-objective optimization is conducted using the desirability function approach. The optimal conditions are obtained as follows: 70 ℃ in feed inlet temperature
40 ℃ in permeate inlet temperature
60 m/min in flow velocity of feed
50% in module packing density
and 20 in length-diameter ratio of module. Experiments under the optimal conditions obtain water productivity 1.697 kg?h
-1
and thermal efficiency 88.2%. This study may provide reference for optimization and scale-up design of membrane distillation process.
