Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membranes

LG Chem NanoH₂O™ brackish water RO membranes serve many municipal and industrial applications. LG BWRO technology has been combined with the innovative Thin Film Nanocomposite (TFN) technology, and is available in a standard configuration that is easy to integrate into existing or new RO plants. Customers in more than 50 countries have already tested the performance and high quality of LG BWRO membranes, which brings them back again.

LG BW UES membranes offer high permeability at very low pressure while maintaining water quality, greatly reducing operating costs in brackish water desalination systems.
