1500 - 1530 RSL MEMBRANES™ - THE WORLD’S LOWEST COST LOW PRESSURE MEMBRANE
- RSL membranes™ treat produced water and replace all conventional flotation (DAF, IGF) technologies
- Better results over sedimentation, oil-water separators, low-pressure membranes such as UF and MF
- Proved substitute for all disposal type bag filter and cartridge technologies and multimedia filters
- RSL membranes™ operate based on replacing the skin layer on the membranes using a charged ionic powder
- Typically, the loading (flux rate) is 10 times conventional membranes, and consumes 90 % less energy
- RSL Membranes™ are the lowest cost membrane in the world and have significant advantages
