Developed by Vontron Membrane Technology Co., Ltd., these membranes operate under ultra-low pressure, achieving high permeated flow and rejection rates comparable to regular low-pressure membranes. They function at approximately two-thirds the pressure of standard low-pressure composite membranes, leading to reduced investment and operating costs for RO systems and increased economic efficiency. This membrane is suitable for the desalination of surface water and underground water with NaCl concentrations below 2000 ppm, including tap water and municipal water. The ULP series is primarily used in applications such as window cleaning, aquatic use, foodstuff processing, and pharmaceutical production.
This guide is for users of the Vontron ULP21-4040 Reverse Osmosis Membrane, offering insights into its use and maintenance. The membrane excels at providing high permeated flow and rejection rates at ultra-low pressure, reducing operational costs. Keep in mind that this membrane is designed for water sources with a specific concentration of contaminants.
