Assignee: KING FAISAL UNIVERSITY
Field: Chemical engineering (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC B  C  H | IPC B  C

Claim 6:
7. A clean water production method, comprising:
producing heat through a photovoltaic panel;
receiving brine through a first evaporation layer of a first membrane distillation system located under the photovoltaic layer, and allowing brine to flow to a second evaporation layer of a second membrane distillation system located above the first membrane distillation system;
allowing brine to flow through a first porous hydrophobic layer and first condensation layer of the first membrane distillation system;
allowing brine to flow through a second porous hydrophobic layer and second condensation layer of the second membrane distillation system;
allowing clean water to flow from the first condensation layer and the second condensation layer to a clean water tank; and
generating electricity with a thermoelectric generator located under the second membrane distillation system.
