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
When it comes to energy-saving polyamide membranes, you can't beat the ESPA1-4040. There's an ESPA solution to satisfy even the most challenging water treatment needs with exceptional performance, productivity and savings. The world's leading high productivity, energy-saving polyamide membrane is the growing family of ESPA RO membranes. They continue to meet the ever-increasing demands of the water treatment industry. Industrial users worldwide have made ESPA their first choice for high productivity and salt rejection.
