Swedish membrane distillation (MD) manufacturer Scarab AB is seeking US powerplant operators to allow it to demonstrate the technology's ability to convert waste streams to feedwater using waste heat from turbines and engines.

This follows a report by the US Electrical Power Research Institute in June 2009, which picked out membrane distillation, "advanced" reverse osmosis (RO) and capacitive deionization (CD) as desalination technologies worthy of development by the electrical power industry.

The report, Program on Technology Innovation: Electric Efficiency Through Water Supply Technologies--A Roadmap, says about MD, "There ...
