The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for concentrating a fluid with improved energy efficiency. The method comprises the steps of. providing a membrane distillation unit having an evaporation side in fluid communication with a first reservoir for containing the fluid, and a condensation side being in fluid communication with a second reservoir for containing a coolant; evaporating at least a portion of the fluid and condensing the fluid in the second reservoir. The method further comprises the steps of controllably transferring heat from the coolant to the fluid such that the temperature of the fluid is maintained at a predetermined temperature.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de concentration d'un fluide présentant une plus grande efficacité énergétique. Le procédé consiste à utiliser une unité de distillation membranaire comprenant un côté d'évaporation en communication fluidique avec un premier réservoir destiné à contenir le fluide, et une unité de condensation en communication fluidique avec un second réservoir destiné à contenir un réfrigérant; et à évaporer au moins une partie du fluide et à condenser le fluide dans le second réservoir. Le procédé consiste, de plus, à transférer de manière contrôlée la chaleur du réfrigérant vers le fluide de manière à maintenir le fluide à une température prédéterminée.
