the manufacture of high-purity water for electronic industry and electric power industry.
NULP (Ultra Low Pressure) - Brackish Water, Drinking Water, Low Energy
NULP series are the ultra low-pressure aromatic composite membrane elements applicable
to desalination of surface water and underground water. This product is well suited for
conditioning of water for glass house irrigation. It can work under the ultra low pressure to
reach as high permeate flow and salt rejection as regular low-pressure membrane element.

composite membrane and achieves a salt rejection rate of up to 99.5% which can decrease
the investment costs for such relevant facilities as pump, piping, and container, etc. and the
operating cost for the RO system, thus increasing the economic efficiency.
NFR (Fouling Resistant) - Wastewater, Brackish Water, Drinking Water
NFR series are aromatic polyamide RO membrane elements which are newly developed
by NANOFILM and it can be used in desalination of brackish water. It is characterized by
ultra low-pressure operation, higher water productivity and excellent desalting property.

Moreover, we make special treatment to the surface of membrane with unique technology
to change its electrical charge and smoothness, increasing the hydrophilicity of membrane
surface, thus decreasing the adhesion of contamination and microbe so as to lessen the
pollution and extend the service life of elements.
NSW (Seawater) - Seawater, High Concentration Brackish Water
NSW series are aromatic polyamide RO membrane elements which are newly developed
by NANOFILM and it is applicable to seawater desalination. By optimizing the structure of
membrane elements, the NSW series increases the permeate flow, and requires fewer
