Durable and efficient Reverse Osmosis membranes engineered for UAE’s toughest industrial water purification challenges.
Industrial reverse osmosis (RO) membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that has been specifically designed to be used in large-scale water purification projects. It is the main part of an industrial RO system that is created to treat thousands or millions of liters of water a day.
High Efficiency: Removes up to 99.5% of dissolved salts and impurities. Energy Saving: Advanced membrane materials reduce operating pressure and energy consumption. Long Service Life: Durable membranes withstand harsh water conditions and frequent cleaning cycles. Improved Water Quality: Ensures safe, clean water for critical industrial applications. Easy Integration: Compatible with all major industrial RO systems in UAE. Low Maintenance: Resistant to fouling and scaling, minimizing downtime.
Factors affecting pricing: Membrane Type & Size: Larger, specialty membranes cost more. Water Source: Seawater membranes typically cost more than brackish water membranes. Quantity: Bulk membrane purchases reduce per-unit cost. Installation Services: Additional costs for professional installation and commissioning. Typical Price Range: Individual industrial RO membranes start from AED 8,000. Complete membrane sets for large plants can reach AED 200,000+.
Industries across the UAE face demanding water treatment needs due to high salinity, suspended solids, and complex contaminants in groundwater and seawater. Industrial RO membranes are at the heart of these purification systems, providing:
These membranes ensure consistent performance even under harsh UAE conditions, including high temperatures and variable feed water quality.
The industrial RO membrane is based on Reverse Osmosis.
This is an effective process with a rejection rate that is usually 95 to 99 percent and above of dissolved solids.

The most common and efficient type of industrial RO membrane is the Thin-Film Composite (TFC) membrane, often configured in a spiral-wound element for high surface area and efficiency.
| Membrane Type | Material | Key Characteristics |
| Thin-Film Composite (TFC) | Polyamide thin film on a polysulfone/polypropylene support layer. | Most common industrial type. Offers high salt rejection and is suitable for various applications, including brackish water and seawater. |
| Cellulose Acetate (CA) | Cellulose-based polymer. | One of the first types. Generally lower salt rejection than TFC, but offers better chlorine resistance. |
| Fully Aromatic Polyamide | A type of TFC. | Known for even higher chlorine tolerance and use in applications where higher chlorine concentrations might be present in the feed water. |
| Nanocomposite | TFC membranes incorporated with nanomaterials (e.g., carbon nanotubes) | Offers enhanced permeability and improved fouling resistance compared to traditional TFC. |
The use of industrial RO membranes is fundamental in the generation of high purity of water in many demanding industries:
Desalination: The process of extraction of salt and other minerals of the sea or brackish water to form drinking water.
Power Generation: The ultra-pure boiler feed water and cooling tower water are generated to avoid scaling and corrosion of high-pressure systems.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Water can be used to purify water used in the formulation, cleaning and sterilization of drugs, and in this case, water quality should be of extremely high standards.
Food and Beverage: Filters water used to package bottled water, soft beverage, brewing as well as food processing processes to maintain the quality and safety of the products.
Wastewater Treatment: Recycling and treating industrial effluents to eliminate pollutants prior to discharge or reuse, to help achieve sustainability objectives.
Semiconductor Industry: Semiconductor manufacturing requires ultra pure water to be used in the production of microchips and other advanced manufacturing.
Before the water reaches the delicate RO membranes, it undergoes crucial pre-treatment to remove larger particles and prevent fouling.
Once pre-treated, the water needs significant force to pass through the RO membranes.
This is the core of the purification process, where the actual separation occurs.
It is a semi-permeable barrier designed for large-scale systems that allows pure water (permeate) to pass through while rejecting most dissolved salts, organics, bacteria, and other contaminants.
Industrial RO membranes typically reject 95% to 99%+ of the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and other contaminants in the feed water.
Most modern industrial membranes are Thin-Film Composite (TFC), which consist of a thin polyamide barrier layer on top of a porous support layer.
Permeate is the purified water that has passed through the membrane. Concentrate (or reject) is the wastewater stream containing the concentrated rejected salts and impurities.
With proper pretreatment, regular cleaning, and maintenance, industrial membranes typically last 3 to 5 years, though this varies widely based on water quality and operating conditions.
