Description
SanRO and SanRO-HS-4 HS-8 4×40″ and 8×40″ USP reverse osmosis membrane elements Hydranautics
Introducing Hydranautics’ revolutionary SanRO® Membrane and SanRO®-HS USP-grade reverse osmosis elements, designed specifically to meet the production needs of the pharmaceutical and industrial industries. With our advanced membrane technology and Hydranautics’ experience in the market, this USP-grade reverse osmosis solution offers a heat-disinfecting membrane designed to disinfect at 85 °C (85 °F). These membranes are highly permeable and have high rejection, energy saving, high flux and low energy cost.
Industries where SanRo membrane is applied:
- Production of purified water in pharmaceutical and medical processes
- Biotechnology products
- Food and beverage production
- Semiconductor manufacturing
Hydranautics SanRO® Membrane and SanRO®-HS USP elements ensure excellent removal of bacteria, viruses and dissolved solids, making it the ideal choice for critical applications in the production of purified and ultrapurified water. In addition, its innovative design allows for greater resistance to contamination and extended service life, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring efficient and reliable operation.
Benefits of SanRo membrane
- Decrease of bacterial endotoxins and microorganisms
- Manufacture of products for ophthalmic and inhalation use.
- Reduction of total dissolved solids (TDS), total organic carbon (TOC) and colloids in high purity water.
- Elimination of algae, fungi, molds, yeasts and bacteria expressed in “colony forming units” (CFU)
- Extraction of bacteria from cell walls of polysaccharide compounds.
- Controlling microbial growth by reducing nutrients
- Ultrapure water of electronic and semiconductor quality
- Water used in the manufacture of cosmetics
- Nutraceuticals production
- Food and beverage processing
- Rinsing or washing of containers
- Manufacture of ultrapure water or PW (Purified Water)
- Wine dealcoholization
- Substitution of distillation systems, resulting in lower energy consumption and costs.
SanRo membranes available:
SanRO: Membranes for high efficiency USP water purification systems, used at operating temperatures up to 45°C.
SanRO-HS: Thermo-sanitizable version (can be disinfected by heating) at 85°C.
SanRO-HS2: A HS variant with higher flow and slightly lower rejection.
