Los Angeles, Calif. – September 5, 2011 – NanoH₂O, a developer and manufacturer of the most efficient and cost-effective reverse osmosis membranes for seawater desalination, has added a new seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) membrane to its high flux, high rejection QuantumFlux product line.
This new SWRO membrane, the Qfx SW 400 ES, features 400 square feet (37 square meters) of active membrane area with an industry-leading permeate flow rate of 13,700 gallons per day (52 cubic meters per day), more than any other SWRO membrane on the market. Like its predecessor product, the Qfx SW 400 ES features best-in-class salt rejection and was recently awarded NSF Standard 61 Certification, once again attesting to the safety and viability of thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes when used for the production of potable water.
Also new to the NanoH₂O product line will be an innovative anti-telescoping device (ATD) designed for durability and ease of use. By the end of the year, all of NanoH₂O’s QuantumFlux 8-inch SWRO elements will incorporate this new ATD that features:
New rib design for added durability
Lip feature for easier membrane removal from the pressure vessel
Convenient bi-directional brine seal that allows installation and removal of membranes from either end of the pressure vessel
Gutter feature under the brine seal to equalize pressure
A new ATD seal plate design to visually distinguish Qfx membranes
“As demonstrated by the Qfx SW 400 ES, NanoH₂O is committed to pushing the envelope on technology and performance,” said Nicholas Dyner, VP of Sales and Marketing. “Our mission is to continuously deliver our customers the highest performing RO membranes. The Qfx SW 400 ES is the most productive and energy-efficient SWRO membrane on the market, designed to lower our customers’ capital expenditures and operating expenses while offering ease-of-use features to assist operators in the maintenance and care of their RO system.”
More information on the Qfx SW 400 ES can be found on the newly redesigned NanoH₂O website at www.nanoh2o.com where customers can download the new Q+ Projection Software.
