Hydranautics ESPA4 Membrane

ESPA4 membranes require ultra-low pressures without compromising standards for high flux and high salt rejection. ESPA4 membrane has been commonly used in drinking water production from well and surface waters in the water treatment industry. It is widely accepted due to significant operational cost savings associated with their use.

Due to their ultra-low feed pressure requirement, ESPA4 membranes have been accepted as a standard in the second pass of a two pass reverse osmosis systems.
