ProshareTeam's Breakthrough in Next-Generation Reverse Osmosis Membrane Technology
ProshareOur team has set a new standard in innovation with our cutting-edge reverse osmosis membranes. By expertly utilizing polymer interface nano-self-assembly technology, we've surpassed traditional development hurdles, achieving two groundbreaking advancements:
Ultra-Thin Separation Layer: Utilizing advanced polymer interface nanotechnology, our team has engineered a separation layer that is remarkably three times thinner than conventional polyamide thin films, traditionally capped at 100 nm. This pivotal reduction in thickness significantly boosts water flux, resulting in an extraordinary increase in permeability.
Enhanced Performance: By integrating nanoparticles with specialized hydrophilic polymers, we've made remarkable progress in enhancing the membrane's hydrophilicity, anti-fouling properties, durability, and oxidation resistance.
Compared to conventional polyamide reverse osmosis membranes,Proshare's innovation is reflected in breakthroughs across four crucial dimensions:
Self-Assembled Nanocomposite Films
The convergence of nano-scale precision control and nano-doping modification enables the creation of ultra-thin, impeccably ordered separation layers through polymer interface nanotechnology. This innovative approach surpasses traditional limitations in thickness uniformity and material diversity of polyamide membranes.
Enhanced Water Flux and Energy Efficiency
Through precise refinement of the layer-by-layer self-assembly process, we've carefully adjusted the functional layer thickness, achieving a substantial 3x reduction compared to traditional membranes. This strategic advancement results in >3x higher water flux and 30% lower energy consumption.
Novel Polymer Materials with Superior Chemical Stability
Departing from polyamide, our team uses cutting-edge hydrophilic polymers (e.g., modified polysulfones) and ceramic-organic hybrids. These state-of-the-art materials exhibit superior oxidation resistance (withstanding up to 10 ppm chlorine exposure) and pH tolerance (maintaining stability within the 1-12 pH range).
