Membrane filter media
Zenon ZeeWeed® 1000 ultrafiltration membrane media is specially designed for drinking water treatment. It offers one of the smallest plant footprints available today, without compromising performance. By applying suction to membranes rather than pressure, the plants benefit from reduced energy consumption, decreased membrane fouling, and longer membrane life.

RO performance monitor
The RO Performance Monitor™ and EZ SDI™ from RODI Systems are designed to improve RO performance. Real time data normalization by the Performance Monitor indicates the optimum time to clean membranes and identifies problems before they cause downtime. The PC software furnished with the monitor allows operators to view operating trends and determine the effectiveness of membrane cleaning. The EZ SDI ensures performance from RO pretreatment systems by measuring the fouling tendency of the RO feed water.

Membrane contactor
Membrana has introduced a New 14 x 28 Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactor to its product family. This is the largest integrally potted Membrane Contactor available today for removing dissolved gasses from a variety of liquids. It contains 2370 ft2 or 60% more membrane area than the current 10 x 28 Liqui-Cel Membrane Contactor and it is more cost effective in higher liquid flow rate applications. This contactor is currently being bid and selected for systems with flow rates as large as 8806 gpm. An individual 14 x 28 contactor can process up to 400 gpm in one device.
