Seawater RO Membrane Elements

Specifically engineered to treat high-salinity seawater and brackish sources.

8040 and 4040 seawater elements (SWRO)

Hi-Tech seawater RO elements use spiral-wound thin-film composite construction. Listed 8040 and 4040 high-rejection models reach up to 99.8% salt rejection at 32,000 ppm NaCl and 55.2 bar (800 psi) test conditions. Elements undergo 100% vacuum integrity testing and carry serial numbers.

Seawater test performance

Seawater RO elements for desalination plants and coastal facilities. Listed high-rejection models reach up to 99.8% salt rejection at 32,000 ppm NaCl and 55.2 bar (800 psi) test pressure.
