An industrial RO (Reverse Osmosis) membrane is a critical component used in large-scale water purification systems. It's designed to remove dissolved salts, organic matter, microbes, and other impurities from water by forcing it through a semi-permeable membrane under high pressure.
Key Features of Industrial RO Membranes:
Material: Typically made from thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide.
Capacity: High flow rates — often rated in gallons per day (GPD) or cubic meters per hour.
Pressure Range: Operates at 150–1200 psi, depending on the type.
Salt Rejection: Typically 99% or higher.
Membrane Types:
Low Energy (LE): Operates at lower pressures to save energy.
High Rejection: Prioritizes higher salt and contaminant rejection.
Fouling Resistant: Designed to minimize biofouling or scaling in challenging water conditions.
