Pressure-retarded membrane distillation (PRMD) is an emerging membrane process to recover energy from low-grade heat sources. The applied hydraulic pressure on the cold-water side in PRMD may strongly affect both energy conversion efficiency and membrane performance. Here, we report the first system...
