Abstract: In this project, a numerical study of one of the relatively new desalination technologies, Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD), is carried out. A series of hypotheses and simplifications have been established when developing the model. The results obtained were then successfully validated with experimental results available in the literature, and the accuracy of the model was determined. Subsequently, it was implemented in the DWSIM chemical process simulator using the Python programming language. Where different sensitivity analyses have been carried out to optimize the operating conditions from an energy point of view.
