Nalco launches membrane technology for RO systems

Nalco has unveiled its 3D TRASAR membrane technology, which has been developed to improve the performance of industrial reverse osmosis (RO) systems and reduce their total cost of ownership.

The patented TRASAR technology comprises accurate feeding and dosing, membrane system performance monitoring and 24 / 7 oversight and troubleshooting advice from Nalco’s 360 Expert Center professionals.

The automation and Nalco’s 360 Expert Center will enable service on demand, thereby avoiding unnecessary cleaning and ensuring that cleaning is performed before membrane performance is irreversibly reduced.

Nalco chairman and CEO Erik Fyrwald said that the new technology will improve the operation of RO systems, resulting in reduced water consumption, wastewater production, energy use and chemical treatment use, while extending the life of the RO membranes.
