LCLE-4040 Low Energy RO Membrane – Cost Effective for Light Commercial Use

LCLE-4040 Low Energy RO Membrane – Cost Effective for Light Commercial Use

Product Overview

Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are the core component of any desalination or water treatment system. This product range includes both Brackish Water RO Membranes and Seawater RO Membranes, designed to meet different feed water salinity levels and application requirements.

Brackish Water Membranes are optimized for treating water with low to medium total dissolved solids (TDS), typically ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 ppm. These include river water, well water, industrial process water, and wastewater reuse streams.

Seawater Membranes are engineered for high-salinity feed water with TDS levels between 25,000 and 45,000 ppm, such as open sea intake, brackish seawater, and high-salinity industrial effluents.

Both types are manufactured using advanced composite polyamide thin-film technology, offering high salt rejection, stable flux, and long service life. Our replacement includes models from leading brands,covering all standard 4040 and 8040 configurations.

Key Features

Common Features (Both Brackish & Seawater Membranes)

  • High salt rejection – Up to 99.7% for brackish membranes and up to 99.85% for seawater membranes

  • Low fouling tendency – Smooth membrane surface reduces scaling and biological fouling

  • Wide pH tolerance – Suitable for chemical cleaning (typically pH 2–11)

  • Standard industrial sizes – Available in 4040 and 8040 diameters for easy retrofit

  • Proven durability – Withstands high pressure and continuous operation

Applications

Brackish Water Membrane Applications

  • Drinking water production from river, well, or brackish groundwater

  • Industrial process water for power plants, electronics, and pharmaceuticals

  • Boiler feed water pretreatment

  • Cooling tower makeup water

  • Wastewater reuse and recycling (municipal and industrial)

  • Food and beverage processing

  • Agricultural irrigation water treatment

Seawater Membrane Applications

  • Seawater desalination for municipal drinking water supply

  • Marine and vessel onboard water systems (ships, offshore platforms)

  • Island and coastal community water supply

  • High-salinity industrial effluent treatment (e.g., textile, tannery, chemical)

  • Ballast water treatment

  • Brackish-seawater transition zone treatment

  • Emergency and mobile desalination units
