Abstract: A membrane wettability system including a power source configured to generate a current; a measuring device configured to measure the current; a first conducting spacer that is electrically connected to one of the measuring device and the power source; and a second conducting spacer that is electrically connected to another one of the measuring device and the power source. The first conducting spacer is physically separated from the second conducting spacer by a membrane, which is not conducting the current.

Abstract: Systems and methods using membrane distillation are provided for desalinating water, for example for the production of potable water, to address freshwater requirements. In an aspect the systems and methods do not require applying an external heat source, or the energy cost of the heating source, to heat the feed stream to the membrane. In an aspect, the sensible heat present in surface seawater is used for the heat energy for the warm stream fed to the membrane, and deep seawater is used as the cold/coolant feed to the membrane to provide the needed temperature gradient or differential across the membrane.

Abstract: Submerged membrane modules for use for desalination of water are disclosed. In one or more aspects, the membrane modules can be submerged either in a feed solution tank or the feed solution can pass through the lumen side of the membrane submerged within the tank. The feed solution can be a water-based feed stream containing an amount of salt.
