Description

Demand for portable water is rapidly growing with its sources depleting at an alarming rate. Desalination seems to be a good solution for this growth. In this work, an approach to conduct desalination at lower temperature (preferable at around 65 degree C) is been designed using enhanced membrane distillation method and utilizing waste heat rejected from the nuclear power plant
