Membrane distillation (MD) is a thermal desalination process that is advantageous due to its ability to harness low-grade waste heat to separate highly saline feedstock. However, like any thermal desalination process, the energy efficiency depends on the ability to recover latent heat from condensation in the distillate. In direct contact MD (DCMD), this can be achieved by integrating a heat exchanger (HX) to recover latent heat stored in the distillate stream to preheat the incoming feed stream. Based on the principle of equal heat c
