Industrial Fouling-resistant RO

OV-FR anti-fouling RO membrane elements.

OV-FR elements use a specially treated hydrophilic membrane surface and a 34 mil feed spacer to reduce colloidal and organic fouling, improve cleanability and support stable operation on challenging feed water.

4040 / 8040 OV-FR anti-fouling RO membrane elements.
