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.
