Proven, Reliable, High-performance Water Purification
Compared to traditional filtration technologies that rely on a screen or filter to remove particles, reverse osmosis (RO) is a pressure-driven separation process that employs a semipermeable membrane and the principles of crossflow filtration.
Reverse osmosis water treatment provides the finest level of filtration. The RO membrane acts as a barrier to all salts and inorganic molecules, as well as organic molecules with a molecular weight greater than approximately 100.
Effectively removes contaminants including:

Sea Water Series
High PressureSeawater desalination RO membranes are specifically engineered to treat seawater with high salinity levels, typically containing 35,000-45,000 ppm of total dissolved solids. These high-performance membranes operate at pressures ranging from 800-1,000 psi and are designed with advanced polymer chemistry to withstand harsh marine conditions. Seawater RO membranes feature superior salt rejection rates of 99.4-99.8% and are built to handle the challenging fouling conditions present in seawater applications.

Brackish Water Series
High PressureBrackish water RO membranes are used to treat brackish water, which is water with a TDS level between 1,000 and 10,000 ppm. Brackish water RO membranes are designed to function at pressures over 200 psi and require more energy than tap water RO membranes. The primary difference between brackish water and seawater is the amount of dissolved salts and solids.
| Model | Effective Area ft²(m²) | Average Yield GPD(m³/d) | Salt Rejection(%) | Recovery Rate(%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BW-2521 | 13(1.2) | 350(1.3) | 99 | 15 |

| BW-8040 | 400(37) | 11000(41.6) | 99.5 | 15 |
Low Pressure Series
Medium PressureThe low-pressure (LP) series is an aromatic polyamide composite membrane element used for desalination of medium and low concentration brackish water. It has the characteristics of high desalination rate and large flux. It can be widely used in municipal water supply, surface water reuse, coal chemical industry, thermal power generation boiler supply water, food industry water, textile printing and dyeing, electroplating industry and other fields.

Ultra-low Pressure Series
Energy EfficientThe ultra-low (ULP) pressure series optimizes the membrane manufacturing process and has higher water flux and salt rejection rate than the previous generation, as well as better pollution resistance. This membrane element is suitable for desalination and deep treatment of low-salt raw water such as surface water, underground water, tap water, etc. with a salt content of less than 1000ppm. It can achieve high water production under extremely low operating pressure or small membrane area.
