Abstract
During last 13. years interests on membrane distillation (MD) technology has increased significantly in different experimental and theoretical aspects. In this chapter, MD is described in general including terminology, history, possible MD configurations, membranes, modules, and applications in different fields. Membranes together with their required characteristics as well as recent commercial modules offered by some companies are provided. An overview of different MD applications is also reported. Tips on MD improvements, related interesting research fields, advised membranes, and modules including fluid flow dynamics are indicated.
