Five types of novel hollow fiber module configurations with structured-straight fibers, curly fibers, central-tubing for feeding, spacer-wrapped and spacer-knitted fibers, have been designed and constructed for the direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) process. Their module performances were evalua...
