Hydranautics ESPAB MAX Membrane

Product Description

Industrial users worldwide have made ESPA their first choice for high productivity and salt rejection. ESPAB MAX is one of the best in energy-saving polyamide membranes. It has increased active surface area for higher flux and rejection, with the same superior boron rejection as the ESPAB. The growing family of ESPA (Energy-Saving Polyamide) RO membranes continue to meet the ever-increasing demands of the water treatment industry.

ESPAB MAX Specifications:
  • Permeate Flow: 9,000 gpd (34.1 m3/d)
  • Salt Rejection: 99.3% (99.0% minimum)
  • Boron Rejection (Typical)@ pH=10: 96.0
  • Configuration: Spiral Wound
  • Membrane Polymer: Composite Polyamide
  • Membrane Active Area: 440ft2 (40.8m2)

The stated performance is initial (data taken after 30 minutes of operation), based on the following conditions:

  • 1500 PPM NaCl solution
  • 150 psi (1.05 MPa) Applied Pressure
  • 77°F (25°C) Operating Temperature
  • 15% Permeate Recovery
  • 6.5 - 7.0 pH Range
  • (For boron testing, 10 mg/L boron is added and pH adjusted to 10 with NaOH)
