LFC - Hydranautics - #1

LFC - Low Fouling Composite Membranes Eleme

Superior membrane technology is the key to Hydranautics' innovative LFC (Low Fouling Composite) membrane. LFC mem­branes offer breakthrough technology in the treatment of difficult feedwaters and municipal wastewater. Until now, these applications have required significant pretreatment prior to subjecting them to a composite polyamide membrane. Combin­ing the attributes of a neutral surface charge and hydrophilicity, LFC provides significant reduction in fouling rates, increasing membrane efficiency by restoring nominal performance after cleaning.

LFC elements are available from Hydranautics in both 4-inch and 8-inch diameters by 40-inch long spiral wound configura­tions for difficult feedwater applications. Smaller diameter LFC elements are also available from Hydranautics' licensed manufacturer Oltremare, located in Fano, Italy.

Our LFC elements can be used as either a stand alone product or part of our Integrated Membrane Solution ® (IMS) which combines a range of RO, NF, UF and MF membrane technologies to achieve the most comprehensive, effective, low-cost results in the industry.

Product Offering:

LFC1

Hydranautics' unique hydrophilic chemistry make these the only true low-fouling membrane in the industry for applications which demand high-efficiency flow and the highest salt rejection.

LFC3

Ideal for municipal wastewater applications the LFC3 is the only membrane in the industry that offers low fouling membrane chemistry with high efficiency flow and rejection characteristics - offering 50% lower salt passage than the competition.

LFC3-LD

The low fouling composite LFC3-LD (Low Differential Pressure) provides a neutral surface charge that reduces fouling when treating wastewater and surface water with high fouling potential. The LFC3-LD is designed with a thicker brine spacer to lower the Delta P and meet the increased demand for lower fouling membranes that require less frequent cleanings while maintaining a high permeate flow and lower pressure.
