Industries and Applications

Industries and Applications

 N/A The fibers used to produce RO-Flow™ Permeate Carrier Fabrics are custom developed for drinking water, desalination, dairy products, wine and even natural gas. Applications include microfiltration, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis. Applications for reverse osmosis water purification range from municipal treatment facilities to naval vessels. While the purification of brackish water and saltwater is the primary application for reverse osmosis, the process can also be used in a number of other industries, including food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing.

Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

 N/A
  • Unrivaled Channel Integrity: RO-Flow™ fabrics boast maximum channel integrity, retaining strength and durability even after rigorous use. This resilience translates to a consistently high flow rate over an extended service life.
  • Optimized Construction: Our fabrics can be constructed with a thinner profile, allowing for increased wraps around the membrane. Wider channels on RO-Flow™ Permeate Carriers result in enhanced fluid volume output and a more efficient flow rate compared to other fabrics.
  • Hybrid Tricot Design: The innovative tricot design provides flexibility for membrane customization while maintaining exceptional channel integrity. This minimizes compression and flow loss over time, ensuring long-lasting performance.
  • Eco-Friendly Fusion: Our proprietary RO-Flow™ fabrics incorporate heat-treated bicomponent yarn, fusing fibers without the need for harsh chemicals or epoxy. This eco-friendly approach sets a new standard for safety and sustainability in water filtration.
  • In-House Pressure Testing: Rest assured; every RO-Flow™ fabric undergoes rigorous in-house pressure testing. This ensures that the fabric’s construction aligns seamlessly with specific membrane service requirements, including pressure and flow rates. Our commitment to validation guarantees optimal performance in real-world filtration scenarios.
