  • Reverse Osmosis Membrane

Versatility and Customization
WELKIN thin-film composite membranes exhibit outstanding performance and are suitable for a wide range of applications, including low-pressure municipal water use, seawater desalination, brackish water purification, chemical production, and waste treatment. Customized membrane elements can be provided to meet the specific requirements of each application.


Lasting stability
Non-chlorine treatment ensures both short-term and long-term high performance, as well as sustained, stable performance over the long run.


Accuracy and Consistency
Leveraging a self-developed integrated composite membrane manufacturing process, the entire membrane production process is precisely controlled by a DCS system, with more than 4,000 process control points.


High resistance to fouling and chemical cleaning
This component delivers efficient cleaning across a broader pH range, helping to reduce cleaning frequency and energy consumption.
