MEMBRANES

The choice of membranes, the complexity of pre-treatment and materials are based on individual applications are backed up by our experience and by several test results we achieved.
The point of departure for every reverse osmosis plant is the study of the characteristics of the salted or brackish water to be treated.
SCAM can supply units with a wide range of membranes for specific cases.

Materials used in the production of membranes have the following advantages:

Cellulose Fibre
• Greater resistance to the effects of free chlorine up to 1 mg/lt.
for long periods, from 10 to 20 mg/lt for short periods;
• Greater productivity in relation to the membrane surface;
• Lower micro-porosity impedance.

Polyamide Fibres
• Wider pH tolerance;
• Greater resistance to biological attack;
• Greater salt rejection capacity.
