Reverse Osmosis Membranes

Reverse Osmosis Membranes

Big Brand Water Filter offers many reverse osmosis membranes for different water conditions :

Tap Water reverse osmosis membranes Tap Water reverse osmosis membranes are for water with a TDS below 2,000 ppm.
Within the tap water membranes there are standard and low energy membranes. Newer membrane technology allows high rejection at lower pressures. Sometimes with cold water we run low energy membranes at 180-200 psi to compensate for the loss of reverse osmosis water production due to cold water temperatures.

Brackish water reverse osmosis membranes are similar to the tap water RO membranes and usually you can use brackish water membranes for tap water reverse osmosis applications. Brackish water membranes have a fiberglass outer wrap instead of tape to be able to withstand higher operating pressures. Brackish water membranes also often have a bigger spacer between each membrane leaf to allow for more cross flow along the membrane surface.

Sea Water Reverse Osmosis membranes cannot be used on tap or brackish water applications. Sea water RO membranes operate at much higher pressures, anywhere from 650-1100 psi in order to overcome the osmotic pressure of sea water. A rule of thumb is each 100 ppm of TDS (total dissolved mineral content) resuced the pressure across the membrane by 1 psi. Seawater averages about 35,000 ppm so it takes more than 350 psi just to overcome backpressure caused by the salinity.

  • Toray Membranes Toray Membranes
    Toray offers a complete line of reverse osmosis membranes for nanofiltration, tap water, brackish and sea water applications. In addition Toray makes membrane bioreactors and a line of hollow fiber ultrafiltration modules.
  • Chlorine Removal,  Antiscalant, Membrane Cleaning Chemicals Chlorine Removal, Antiscalant, Membrane Cleaning Chemicals
    Proper antiscalant selection can allow for higher reverse osmosis water recovery rates while extending membrane life by reducing fouling. There are popular antiscalants for municipal city water and many others for specialty applications. Getting a high quality water test and having our chemical engineers make a recommendation is the best way to get optimal results.
  • Membrane Cleaning Services Membrane Cleaning Services
    Replacing your commercial reverse osomsis membranes can be costly An often overlooked alternative is cleaning your existing membranes. Big Brand Water Filter has the capability to effectively clean both 4" and 8" diameter RO membranes in our facility. Each membrane is pre and post tested to ensure cleaning effectiveness. They are then returned to the customer, packaged in new boxes and bags. This service is valuable for those customers who do not have cleaning equipment on site, do not have adequate equipment, are subject to severe discharge restrictions, do not have the personnel or time to clean, or who simply prefer the convenience of having membranes cleaned off-site.
