Changing the Economics of Desalination
More Water. Less Energy.
More Water
QuantumFlux elements provide significantly higher flux than traditional thin-film composite membranes. For new SWRO desalination plants,
QuantumFlux can
increase water production by as much as 70%. For retrofitting an existing plant, production capacity can be increased by up to 20% while leaving operating costs virtually unchanged.
Less Energy
QuantumFlux elements have demonstrated a
50-100% increase in permeability compared to the current installed base of RO membranes. The inherent properties of
QuantumFlux membranes require less driving pressure to produce the same amount of water, thus
lowering a plant's energy usage by up to 20%.
Smaller Plant
Use of
QuantumFlux elements in a new desalination plant from the beginning can significantly
reduce the new plant's footprint by as much as 40%.
