Industrial Ro Membrane

FilmTec™ reverse osmosis membrane elements are very effective at industrial process water treatment. In many industrial systems, RO elements also serve as pretreatment for ion exchange (IX) resin beds. Because of its exceptional properties, FilmTec™ technology can help lower capital investment, reduce operating costs, and allow for greater flexibility for future system expansion.

Portfolio elements that work well for process water treatment include:

• FilmTec™ brackish water elements, which have an unsurpassed high-active membrane surface area that produces 99.5 percent or greater typical salt rejection performance.
• FilmTec™ low-energy brackish water elements, which are designed specifically to meet emerging demand for lower-pressure RO system operation; these elements help reduce operating expense without sacrificing salt rejection or high productivity.
• FilmTec™ reverse osmosis membrane elements that are installed before ion exchange beds, which help reduce demineralizer operating costs dramatically; pretreating water for boiler makeup with these elements removes silica, dissolved solids, and total organic carbon (TOC), extending the life of the resins and lowering chemical regeneration usage, waste handling, and maintenance costs.
• FilmTec™ reverse osmosis membrane elements that are used in double-pass RO systems, which produce high-purity water in a continuous process; for applications with less stringent water-purity requirements, these elements can be used cost-effectively in single-pass RO systems as well.
