1500 - 1530 RSL MEMBRANES™ - THE WORLD’S LOWEST COST LOW PRESSURE MEMBRANE
- RSL membranes™ treat water and waste water and replace all conventional flotation (DAF, IGF) technologies, clarifier or sedimentation type technologies, oil water separators, sand or multimedia filters, low pressure membranes such as UF and MF membranes, and all conventional disposal type bag filter and cartridge technologies
- These 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, because of which we claim that these membranes™ are the lowest membrane cost in the world
