Modeling and Performance Analysis of a Hybrid Forward Osmosis–Membrane Distillation System for Seawater Desalination
primary energy equivalent) when using low-grade heat. The obtained results demonstrate that FO-MD hybridization enhances water recovery and operational stability compared to standalone processes, supporting its potential for energy-efficient desalination of high-salinity brines and industrial wastewaters where low-grade heat is available.
