High-flow, high-rejection RO membranes reduce production costs by 20%

摘要

New reverse osmosis membrane elements offer for the first time high flow rates and high salt rejection with low energy use. Advances in technology over the past few decades have made seawater desalination an increasingly viable and important method for meeting the fresh water needs of regions with growing populations. In fact, the market for desalination plants and equipment is projected to grow from US$ 2 billion today to more than US$ 70 billion within the next 20 years. High-flow, high-rejection, low-energy reverse osmosis (RO) membrane elements are making desalination a more economical choice than ever before by reducing the cost of producing potable water by up to 20%.
