Introduction  

LEFILTER Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane delivers 0.0001μm filtration precision (1/50,000 of a hair’s diameter), achieving 99.9% desalination and removing bacteria, heavy metals, and colloids efficiently. Developed by Xinxiang Lifeierte Filter Corp. (15+ years in filtration), it serves scenarios from large-scale seawater desalination to lab pure water systems. 

 22

Developed by Xinxiang Lifeierte Filter Corp., Ltd. (15 years of filtration industry experience), the membrane integrates advanced composite materials (aromatic polyamide + polyester support) and anti-fouling technology, making it suitable for both large-scale projects (e.g., seawater desalination plants) and small-batch applications (e.g., laboratory pure water systems).  


Features

  • Ultra-high filtration precision0.0001 microns filtration accuracy, intercepting 99.99% of viruses, 99.8% of heavy metal ions, and 98% of colloids (data from Membrane Separation Technology Handbook, 2023).

  • High desalination & water production efficiency: Under 500 psi pressure, desalination rate reaches 99.8% (industry average: 99.5%); water production rate up to 45% (10% higher than traditional membranes) via "wide flow channel" design (1.5mm inlet channel).

  • Long service life: Anti-fouling hydrophilic coating reduces organic adsorption, extending cleaning cycle to 90 days; black nitrile rubber (NBR) sealing rings resist 10bar pressure, ensuring average lifespan of 3 years (1.5x longer than ordinary membranes).

  • Strong customization: Supports size (40-80 inches length, 4-8 inches diameter) and precision (0.0001-0.001 microns) customization, with minimum order quantity of 1 piece for trial.

  • International certifications: Passed CE, ISO9001, and NSF/ANSI 61, meeting global industrial standards.



Technical Data

RO8040


Working Principle

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a pressure-driven separation process that relies on the selective permeability of semipermeable membranes:


  1. Pressure application: External pressure (higher than the osmotic pressure of the feed water) is applied to the raw water side.

  2. Molecular separation: Water molecules (smaller than 0.0001 microns) pass through the nanoscale pores of the aromatic polyamide,while impurities (salts, bacteria, colloids) with larger molecular sizes are intercepted.

  3. Concentrate discharge: The intercepted impurities are discharged as concentrated water, ensuring continuous purification.

LEFILTER’s composite membrane structure enhances efficiency: the ultra-thin polyamide layer ensures precision, while the polyester support layer improves mechanical strength, resisting pressure deformation during long-term operation.


Application Field

  • LEFILTER Reverse Osmosis Membrane, with its 0.0001-micron interception capability and anti-fouling properties, addresses complex water treatment challenges across diverse industries. Below are representative applications and innovative practices:

  • ① Environmental Water Treatment: Achieving "Zero Discharge" of Industrial Wastewater

  • Industry Pain Point: Wastewater from chemical and electroplating industries contains heavy metals (e.g., Cr⁶⁺, Ni²⁺) and high-concentration organics, with strict discharge limits (e.g., GB 21900-2020 Emission Standard for Electroplating Pollutants requires total chromium ≤0.5 mg/L).

  • Solution: Adopt a "RO + NF (Nanofiltration)" dual-membrane process. First, NF intercepts macromolecular organics, then RO deeply desalinates, achieving a wastewater reuse rate ≥85%.

  • Case: A Jiangsu electroplating enterprise increased wastewater reuse from 60% to 92% after retrofitting, reducing annual fresh water consumption by 32,000 tons. Total chromium emissions stabilized at 0.3 mg/L (exceeding national standards).

  • ② Textile Dyeing: Dual Compliance in Wastewater Decolorization and Reuse

  • Industry Pain Point: Dyeing wastewater contains azo dyes and auxiliaries, with color up to 5,000 Pt-Co units and COD >2,000 mg/L. Traditional biochemical methods struggle to decolorize.

  • Solution: RO membranes intercept >99% of dye molecules (molecular weight >1,000 Da). Combined with "anaerobic + RO" processes, decolorization rate reaches 98%, and reused water can directly serve rinsing processes.

  • Data: A Zhejiang dyeing factory reduced water cost per ton of fabric from ¥8 to ¥3.5, with annual water-saving benefits exceeding ¥1.2 million. Reused water color ≤10 Pt-Co units and COD ≤50 mg/L.

  • ③ Paper Industry: Closed-Loop White Water Recycling for Cost Reduction

  • Industry Pain Point: Papermaking white water contains fibers and fillers (e.g., CaCO₃), wasting resources (10–20 m³ water per ton of paper) and causing equipment scaling.

  • Solution: RO membranes intercept suspended particles and dissolved solids. Reused water serves wire section spraying and net washing, forming a "white water → clean water → process water" loop.

  • Practice: A Shandong coated paper mill using LF-RO-8040 membranes reduced water consumption to 5.2 m³ per ton of paper (industry advanced value: 8 m³), increased filler recovery by 35%, and saved ¥680,000 annually.
