Oceanside, Calif., March 5, 2002 -- Hydranautics, a provider of membrane technology introduces the LFC3 low fouling membrane technology.
The new LFC3 uses the same unique hydrophilic chemistry and high performance of the LFC1 (low fouling composite) membrane, but meets the requirements of high salt rejection applications. The LFC3 is the only membrane in the industry that combines true low fouling membrane chemistry with high efficiency flow and rejection characteristics, offering 99.6% salt rejection at 9,500 GPD.
This membrane is suited for the treatment of municipal and industrial surface wastewaters, and other difficult feedwaters, which up to now required significant pretreatment prior to subjecting them to any composite RO membrane.
The LFC3 is added to Hydranautics' diverse technologies for reverse osmosis, nanofiltration and ultrafiltration offering various degrees of flux and rejection characteristics, specifically suited to treat multiple and diverse water treatment applications. Hydranautics' products for low fouling composite elements include the neutrally charged hydrophilic LFC1 which is ideal for municipal waste water applications and the neutrally charged LFC3 where high rejection is required.
Hydranautics first introduced the low fouling composite membrane in 1998. Since then, over 10,000 LFC1 membrane elements have been installed and successfully operate in more than 40 locations worldwide. For more information, visit www.membranes.com.
