What Does VMD Stand For?
VMD stands for Vacuum Membrane Distillation
VMD, or Vacuum Membrane Distillation, is a separation process that utilizes a semipermeable membrane to selectively allow vaporized components of a liquid mixture to pass through while retaining liquid constituents. By applying a vacuum on the permeate side, the process lowers the boiling point of the liquid, enabling efficient distillation at lower temperatures. VMD is particularly effective for separating volatile compounds from aqueous solutions, making it valuable in water treatment, desalination, and chemical recovery applications.
