New membranes for seawater desalination

New membranes for seawater desalination have been developed by Toray Membrane.

Toray Membrane says that TM820S-400 has low energy consumption (9,000 000 gpd at 800 psi) with high boron rejection (90% at pH8). TM820V-400 also has the same low energy consumption but higher boron rejection (92% at pH8).

Toray Membrane has also developed two low fouling models of the TM720N-400 and TML20N-400 brackish elements. TM720N-400 offers low delta pressures and low fouling by using a 34 mm spacer. The TML20N-400 with a 34 mm spacer also demonstrates fouling resistance and can be applied to waters with higher suspended solids.
