Permeate spacers, which act as static mixers, are sandwiched at regular intervals between each pair of membranes. Spacers keep membranes separated, reinforce membranes against feed pressure, and increase turbulence. However, inefficient geometry of spacers may reduce cell active area and increase bo...
