Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising desalination technology for treatment of high salinity shale gas produced water. Techno-economic assessment (TEA) is necessary for evaluating the economic feasibility of MD for produced water treatment as compared to other shale gas produced water management strategies. A detailed TEA for a hypothetical 0.5 million gallons per day (MGD) direct contact MD (DCMD) that concentrates produced water from 10% (100,000 mg/L) Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to 30% salinity is presented in this study. The model is developed based on a combination of experimental results, ASPEN Plus process model, best available engineering knowledge, and cost estimates. Analysis reveals that thermal energy cost for MD operation contributes the most to total cost of treating produced water in an MD plant. Additionally, the results of sensitivity analysis reveal that feed TDS level and thermal energy price have a significant impact on total cost of treating produced water. We also explore the implications of utilizing waste heat on the economics of the MD technology for produced water treatment. The results reveal that the total cost of treating produced water using MD is $5.70/m(feed)(3) which decreases significantly to $0.74/m(feed)(3) when MD is integrated with a source of waste heat.
