Polyamide - RO Membranes
Advanced Reverse Osmosis Technology
Polyamide Membranes - Introduced in the early
1970’s this asymmetric polymer is used in the construction
of thin film composite (TFC)
spiral wound membrane. Polyamide membranes
are the most typical membrane construction material due to less
pressure requirements and more flexible operating conditions. Polyamide
membranes are oxidant (chlorine, chloramine, bromine, ozone etc.)
intolerant. Also noteworthy is that surface of the polyamide membrane
carries an anionic charge that makes it slightly more susceptible
to fouling from contaminants carrying a cationic charge.
