Hydranautics ESPA-2540 Membrane

Product Description

ESPA® (Energy Saving Polyamide) elements achieve high flux/lower pressure without compromising standards for high rejection. Since its introduction in the late 1990s, the ESPA® membrane has gained wide acceptance in the water treatment industry due to the significant operational cost savings associated with their use. 4” and 8” configurations available.

The ESPA-2540 can meet your industrial or commercial water treatment standards. There's an ESPA solution to satisfy even the most challenging water treatment needs with exceptional performance, productivity and savings. For high productivity and salt rejection, the industrial user's first choice is the growing family of ESPA (Energy-Saving Polyamide) RO membranes that continue to meet the ever-increasing demands of the water treatment industry.
