Industrial NF1 series

Summary

Product identification

The Industrial NF1 Series consists of high-pressure nanofiltration elements featuring a D-Series proprietary thin-film membrane. These elements are designed to remove low-solubility salts and organics from concentrated effluents and brines.

The Industrial NF1 elements are capable of permeating sodium chloride (NaCl) while rejecting sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄). Their high-pressure construction allows operation up to 80 bar. This salt segregation, combined with high-pressure capabilities, enables the production of a pure, highly concentrated (> 150 g/L) single salt. This process can significantly simplify thermal processes for Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) or Minimum Liquid Discharge (MLD) projects, potentially reducing them to a crystallizer only, thereby lowering investment and operational costs.
