LeFilter Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane is a high-precision filtration core component designed for water purification, seawater desalination, and industrial fluid treatment. With a filtration accuracy of 0.0001 microns (equivalent to 1/50,000 of a hair’s diameter) and a desalination rate of up to 99.9%, it efficiently removes salts, bacteria, viruses, heavy metal ions, and colloids, ensuring stable production of high-purity water. 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).

Introduction  

LEFILTER Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane is a high-precision filtration core component designed for water purification, seawater desalination, and industrial fluid treatment. With a filtration accuracy of 0.0001 microns (equivalent to 1/50,000 of a hair’s diameter) and a desalination rate of up to 99.9%, it efficiently removes salts, bacteria, viruses, heavy metal ions, and colloids, ensuring stable production of high-purity water.

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

  • Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Purifying High-Organic Wastewater

  • Pain Point: Pharmaceutical intermediate production generates wastewater with high COD (10,000–50,000 mg/L) and bio-toxic substances (e.g., pyridines), challenging biodegradation.

  • Solution: "RO + MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression)" process: RO concentrates organics (volume reduction by 80%), MVR evaporates concentrate for resource recovery.

  • Case: A Zhejiang API factory cut wastewater discharge from 500 m³/d to 100 m³/d. Recovered organic solvents generated ¥2.3 million in annual revenue, with COD removal >95%.

  • Aquaculture: Optimizing Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)

  • Pain Point: RAS faces ammonia nitrogen accumulation, pathogenic bacteria, and suspended solids, threatening fish survival (safe ammonia nitrogen <0.05 mg/L).

  • Solution: RO membranes remove 99% of ammonia nitrogen, bacteria, and fine particles. Combined with biofilters, water exchange frequency drops from 30%/d to 5%/d.

  • Data: A Guangdong tilapia farm using LF-RO membranes increased survival rate from 75% to 92%. Feed conversion ratio improved by 18%, with annual water-saving costs of ¥180,000.
