<p>The membrane distillation apparatus comprises a membrane distillation unit comprising a plurality of membrane distillation modules, a heating channel transferring heat to a first one of said membrane distillation modules and a condenser. Furthermore, a fluid circuit is present, which extends to the heating channel so as to provide heat into the membrane distillation unit. The fluid circuit further comprises a heat exchanger for heating a fluid running in said fluid circuit, said heat exchanger comprising a second channel providing heat originating from the energy source. A generator generates heat and electricity, which heat is at least partially transferred to an intermediate cycle by means of a primary heat exchanger, the intermediate cycle extending to the second channel of the–secondary–heat exchanger. Moreover, a pump is present for pumping a fluid through the intermediate cycle.</p> |
