Abstract

Abstract: Water shortage and a rising water demand are prevalent issues on the political agenda worldwide. Available water resources must not only be provided to ensure a domestic and drinking water supply for a steadily increasing population but also for the growing industrial and agricultural sectors. This work outlines how the use of the innovative vacuum multi‐effect membrane distillation contributes to improve the water management efficiency in the following key industry sectors: desalination, drinking water and beverage industry, pharmaceutical, agro and chemical as well as oil and gas industry. Abstract : Water scarcity and a concurrent rising water demand must be countered with innovative, energy‐efficient but also short‐term available technologies. The use of the vacuum multi‐effect membrane distillation contributes to a significant enhancement of the water management and an increase in water availability in various important industry sectors.
