Brackish Water Anti-Fouling Reverse Osmosis Membrane BW-8040

The BW (Brackish Water) series membrane elements are aromatic polyamide composite membrane elements developed by Haitong Membrane Technology Co., Ltd. for desalination of brackish water. They feature low-pressure operation, high water production, and excellent salt removal performance.

◎ Product Introduction and Application Fields

　　The BW (Brackish Water) series membrane elements are aromatic polyamide composite membrane elements developed by Haitong Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. for desalination and water softening of brackish water. They feature low-pressure operation, high water production, and excellent salt removal performance. In addition, these elements exhibit outstanding removal efficiency for dissolved salts, TOC, and SiO2, making them particularly suitable for the preparation of high-purity water in the electronics and power industries. Primarily used to treat brackish water with relatively high salinity or water sources with complex compositions, these elements can effectively remove harmful substances from water, including dissolved salts, heavy metals, colloids, microorganisms, and organic compounds. They are especially well-suited for integrated systems that require large volumes of purified water. While ensuring superior water quality, these elements also demonstrate strong resistance to fouling, extending their service life. Their optimized design enables a recovery rate of over 90%, thereby significantly improving treatment efficiency. These elements find wide application in fields such as power generation, petrochemicals, steel plants, desalination stations, wastewater treatment plants, and environmental protection.
