Abstract

In this study, a novel industrial application of membrane distillation (MD) is presented for waste water treatment in the nano-electronics industries. Previously reported performance of a semi-commercial Air Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD) module is employed to evaluate the system performance in the terms of thermal energy analysis. To comply with thermal power demand in the MD systems, different integration possibilities between the MD unit and waste heat sources namely heat recovery chiller, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) abatement combustion exhaust, and process cooling water exhaust are identified. Along with the technical assessment, this feasibility study has also involved the economic evaluation of the industrial waste heat integrated MD systems including unit water treatment cost. Results show the techno-economic viability of the proposed MD system integrated with industrial waste heat sources.
