Ultra High Porosity Feed Spacers for BWRO
Conwed has launched its new line of Ultra High Porosity™ (UHP) feed spacers for Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis (BWRO) systems. The UHP feed spacers have been designed to help decrease the resistance to liquid flow in BWRO systems with an equivalent water flux rate - the rate at which water permeates a reverse osmosis membrane. These new feed spacers are designed for BWRO spiral wound elements. Conwed said its engineering team focused on the spacers’ porosity ratio to improve water pressure drop. The company believes that modifying the porosity of a feed spacer, just like other features, can have a number of benefits depending on the material and final product application.
