LG Chem Brackish (BW) & Seawater (SW) RO Membranes
Lowering the Cost of Desalination
LG Chem Water Solutions has set a new standard for membrane productivity within the reverse osmosis desalination industry. Utilizing patent-pending thin-film nanocomposite membranes, LG Chem’s spiral-wound NanoH2O membrane elements deliver the highest flux and energy efficiency when compared to the current installed base. Extensive research and development in innovative technologies allow LG to manufacture membrane materials that demonstrate increased permeability and/or increased salt rejection, fundamentally changing the economics of desalination.
Our LG Chem Brackish and Seawater reverse osmosis membranes feature nanomaterials incorporated into the thin-film polyamide composite layer that improve membrane energy efficiency and productivity. The innovative patented technology significantly increases membrane permeability, increases flow, and reduces energy consumption, while matching best-in-class salt rejection.
LG Chem water anti-fouling membranes also feature proprietary chemistry to inhibit adsorption of biological and organic materials.
