Investigation of polarization in membrane distillation (MD) process and its energy efficient solution for freshwater production in Malaysian households

Recent water scarcity in Malaysia has raised an issue about the abundant supply of freshwater in the country. A water purification method like Membrane Distillation (MD) can be a wonderful solution to be utilized to deal with this immediate unpredictable water scarcity issues. MD is an ambient press...
