Hydranautics SWC6-LD Membrane

Product Description

Advanced membrane technology has produced the SWC6-LD. SWC seawater desalination membranes are available in high productivity 8-inch and 4-inch elements, all offering the highest levels of salt rejection and a consistently pure end product. Lower fouling for maximum performance. Membrane formulations are designed to accommodate varying levels of seawater salinities worldwide with reliable field-proven performance.
