| Aqua Membranes | Aqua Membranes is revolutionizing RO membrane filtration with its unique printed spacer technology. The Polymer is applied directly to the flat sheet membrane to create a customized raised pattern that replaces conventional extruded mesh feed spacers. Unlike traditional membrane spacers that trap particles and biofilm within the spacer mesh andthereby obstruct flow, the printed dimensional spacers optimize flow patterns and turbulence throughout the membrane element, minimizing the entrapment of particulates and organic fouling. Printed spacer technology also increases permeate flow, improves flux and recovery, minimizes system pressure drop, and extends the operational life of a membrane element.Aqua Membranes' unique technology is perfect for spiral-wound membrane manufacturers eager to improve their product performance and whose customers demand more durable, low maintenance elements that can withstand challenging feed streams. Its technology provides a more open design and reduces fouling.
