Dear researchers,

It seems that in the vacuum membrane distillation process, the vacuum pump is connected to the permeate tank. If it is true, the vapore/water can enter to the vacuum pump and destroy it.

So, how can we connect these three tools in VMD process?

condenser

vacuum pump

permeate tank

If you are a student who is working with VMD set up or any type of MD set up, could you please take some photos of your set up and attach here to see how to connect the tools especially in VMD?

Thank you so much.

Regards
