Membrane distillation (MD) has proved worthwhile in treatment of hypersaline feeds demonstrating near complete rejection of dissolved solutes without any effect on the process conditions. This makes it potential treatment option for hypersaline oilfield produced water (PW) with salinity level far gr...
