Membrane Distillation Module (AGMD, VMD, SGMD, DCMD, CGMD, PGMD)
PMI's Membrane Distillation Module is a flat-sheet membrane distillation cell configurable for AGMD, VMD, SGMD, DCMD, CGMD, and PGMD operating modes — letting one module evaluate membrane performance across every major membrane distillation geometry.
Overview
PMI's Membrane Distillation Module is designed to evaluate the performance of flat sheet membranes in membrane distillation applications. It is a flow-based filtration unit comprising a module casing, top and bottom frames, a condenser plate, gaskets, and copper tubing.
This module enables systematic experimentation to determine optimal operating parameters—such as temperature, pressure, and flow conditions—that influence the performance of flat sheet membranes in membrane distillation processes.
The module supports every major membrane distillation configuration on a single flat-sheet platform, so a single instrument can evaluate whichever geometry a given membrane or application calls for: air-gap (AGMD), vacuum (VMD), sweep-gas (SGMD), direct-contact (DCMD), conductive-gap (CGMD), and permeate-gap (PGMD).
- Configurable for AGMD, VMD, SGMD, DCMD, CGMD, and PGMD operating modes on the same flat-sheet module
- PVC module casing with SS-304 top and bottom frames for corrosion resistance
- Interchangeable condenser plate available in copper, aluminium, or stainless steel to match feed chemistry
- Viton gaskets rated for sustained operation up to 142.2 °C (288 °F)
- Compact benchtop footprint suited to R&D and process-development labs
- Compatible with PMI's Advanced Membrane Distillation Machine and Advanced Membrane Distillation & Pervaporation systems for full-system testing

Advanced Membrane Distillation and Pervaporation
Membrane distillation (MD) is a membrane-based separation and concentration process driven by a vapor pressure (temperature) gradient between the feed and permeate sides of a hydrophobic membrane. In other words, membrane distillation is a thermally driven separation process in which separation occurs due to a phase change.
