Abstract

There is disclosed a separation system for separation of a volatile component from a feed solution such as the separation of water vapor from a saline solution, such as seawater. The separation system includes a plurality of hollow fiber membranes being selectively permeable to allow the volatile component in a volatile phase to pass therethrough while substantially preventing passage of the feed solution. The system also includes a heat source capable of heating the feed solution on one side of the hollow fiber membranes to create the volatile phase that passes through the hollow fiber membranes. A heat exchange means is provided to condense the volatile component and which is configured to capture the heat of condensation, and wherein the heat exchange means are thermally coupled to the heat source to thereby drive or supplement the heat source with the heat of condensatlon.
