LFC1: Breakthrough in Treatment

|
Oceanside, CA: Hydranautics, the world’s leading producer of reverse osmosis membranes introduces the unique Low Fouling Composite (LFC1), a revolutionary reverse osmosis (RO) membrane that offers outstanding performance stability in the treatment of heavy fouling waters. LFC1 out-performs all other membranes by maintaining a clean membrane surface longer than conventional composite membranes. This is achieved by altering the surface to reduce its affinity to dissolved organics. Because of the hydrophilic membrane surface, there is a much lower build up of organic matter and colloidal particles on the membrane surface during the RO process, LFC1 membranes can operate at a higher flux rate (11,000 GPD/41.6 m3/day) than conventional composite membranes. RO systems with LFC1 membranes operating at a higher flux rate require a smaller system, saving space and money. After nine months of extensive testing and operation at the San Pasqual California Municipal Wastewater Reclamation Plant, the LFC1 membrane elements lost only 1-20% of specific flux, which was completely recovered by high pH cleaning. In addition to the exceptional flux stability, LFC1 is characterized by an impressive salt rejection rate of 99.5% minimum.
