Reverse Osmosis Membrane Elements are vital to chip manufacturing in fabs worldwide. Aqua Membranes' plug-and-play ECO reverse osmosis membrane element uses a new and improved printed spacer technology®. Using this technology, our Reverse Osmosis Membrane Elements save up to 30% of energy and improve the clean frequency by as much as 4x.
Our RO elements use the same membrane you trust, but we change the construction. Usually, a feed spacer mesh is used in RO elements, which causes many issues with fouling/scaling and high-pressure drop(DP) and wastes a lot of energy. Using printed spacers, we open the area for water to flow through the membrane element. Think of it like water running through a rushing river; mesh is like a beaver dam drastically slowing and blocking the flow of water. Whereas printed spacers are like boulders, letting water flow freely through the membrane element saving energy and lowering the fouling potential.
