Common Applications

  • Demineralization & concentration of lactose
  • Desalination of dyes and optical brighteners
  • Seawater sulfate removal

Benefits

  • Competitive flux as the current industry standard NF membranes
  • Excellent MgSO₄ and lactose rejection
  • Operate at lower pressures than Reverse Osmosis membranes and still achieve excellent rejection of divalent and multivalent ions
  • NF membranes greatly reduce levels of hardness, nitrates, sulfates, tannins, turbidity, color, TDS, and moderate levels of salt from feed water streams
