Title: Hamid Fattahijuybari and a Solar-Powered Desalination Invention.
Introduction
Hamid Fattahijuybari is an inventor associated with West Lafayette, Indiana, and Purdue Research Foundation. His work includes an invention that combines membrane distillation, solar energy concentration, and thermal vapor compression to desalinate water.
Latest Patents
The supplied information identifies one patent for Fattahijuybari: “Thermal Vapor Compression Membrane Distillation Hybrid Using Vapor Selective Membranes.” The invention describes a desalination system that integrates a membrane distillation unit with a solar power concentration system and a thermal vapor compression unit.
In the membrane distillation portion, a hydrophobic membrane separates two vessel compartments and enables water to pass between them. The membrane includes a hydrophilic membrane and an air-blocking layer, while a vacuum gap is positioned on the other side. Feed water enters the first compartment, and concentrated brine exits through its outlet.
The solar power concentration portion uses a pump and a linear Fresnel mirror collector to gather and focus sunlight. The focused solar energy supports the system’s thermal processes. In the thermal vapor compression portion, an ejector connects to the solar-heated outlet line and vacuum gap, while a heat exchanger receives desalinated water and feed spray. A water line carries desalinated water from the heat exchanger.
Career Highlights
Fattahijuybari’s listed patent focuses on combining several desalination technologies in one system. Its design brings together membrane separation, concentrated solar energy, and thermal vapor compression, with the aim of producing desalinated water while collecting concentrated brine.
Collaborations
The supplied information names Abhimanyu Das and Harsharaj Parmar as Fattahijuybari’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or the nature of their collaboration.
Conclusion
Hamid Fattahijuybari’s listed invention presents an integrated approach to desalination that combines membrane distillation, solar power concentration, and thermal vapor compression.
