Industrial High Flow Nanofiltration Elements
The D-Series family of proprietary thin-film nanofiltration membrane elements is characterized by an
approximate molecular weight cut-off of 150-300
Dalton for uncharged organic molecules. Divalent
and multivalent anions are preferentially rejected
by the membrane while monovalent ion rejection is
dependent upon feed concentration and composition. Since monovalent ions pass through the membrane, they do not contribute to the osmotic
pressure thus enabling D-Series nanofiltration
membrane systems to operate at feed pressures
below those of RO systems.
Among other applications DL High Flow NF Elements are used for dye removal/concentration, sodium chloride diafiltration and metals recovery.

The element diameter (dimension C) is designed for optimum performance in GE
pressure vessels. Other pressure vessel dimension and tolerance may result in
excessive bypass and loss of capacity.
