The Lewabrane® S HR type is the new Reverse Osmosis (RO) spiral wound element produced by LANXESS for seawater desalination with high rejection. The chemistry of this membrane is a higher cross-linking of the polyamide layer. This higher degree of polymerization improves the me-chanical and chemical stability of the thin barrier layer offering greater durability and a more stable rejection of mixed ion salt solutions and organic periods.

LEWABRANE® S HR

Key Properties

The new Lewabrane® S type for high rejection (HR) has, due to its high cross-linked polymeric layer, these key attributes: Low salt passage Highflowproductivity

SEAWATER DESALINATION ENERGIZED BY

The Lewabrane® S type product family was designed to meet and exceed the nominal performance standards for desalination. Three different types of the high rejection series are availableROS400HR,ROS440HRandROS085HR4040.TheROelementsROS400HRandROS440HRhaveastandardlengthof40inches(1,016mm)andadiameterof8inches(201mm)suitableforusewith-instandardROmembraneequipment.Theproductfamilyalsoincludesa4-inch(101mm)ROelementsuitableforsmaller applications.
