SWC5 Seawater Membrane Lower Energy and Higher Rejection
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Since 2001, the membrane industry has made significant strides in reverse osmosis technology, especially in seawater reverse osmosis. Hydranautics has been in the forefront of this development. Four years ago, SWC3 was the leading seawater membrane in the industry with a capacity of 5900 gpd and 99.7% average sodium chloride rejection at standard test conditions. Today, the SWC5 leads the industry with the highest combination of flow, overall rejection and boron rejection. For the end user, the SWC5 means lower energy and higher permeate quality – both of which translate into cost savings.

Rejection of small and uncharged chemicals of emerging concern by reverse osmosis membranes: The role of free volume space within the active skin layer
Free-volume hole-radii of the active skin layer of one seawater and two low pressure reverse osmosis (RO) membranes namely SWC5, ESPAB, and ESPA2 respectively were evaluated using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) with a slow positron beam. The results were related to the rejection of boric acid and eight N-nitrosamines to provide insights to the transport of these small solute...

In this study, the applicability of nanofiltration (NF) membranes as a pretreatment prior to reverse osmosis (RO) in seawater desalination was investigated. The membranes used wereNF270 and NF90 as the NF membranes, while the brackish water (BW) RO membrane BW30 was used as the RO membrane. In desalination tests, permeates of the NF membraneswere collected and used as the feed to th...
متن کاملMembrane Technology in Deep Seawater Exploration: A Mini Review
Deep seawater is a valuable renewable resource. Due to its outstanding characteristics (i.e., clean, nutrient-rich and cold), deep seawater has been utilized in various subjects, such as mariculture, agriculture, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, medical, and renewable energy. As a result, deep seawater utilization cannot be separated from membrane technologies. Reverse osmosis has become the ...
