Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO)
LG SW 440 R
LG Chem’s NanoH20™ seawater RO membranes, incorporated with innovative Thin Film Nanocomposite (TFN) technology, reduce the cost of desalination while delivering superior water quality. Our seawater RO membranes provide industry-leading salt rejection and produce 20% more flow than membranes manufactured with conventional technologies. We continue to leverage the technological advantages of our seawater RO membranes to expand our market share, accruing more than 3,000 Million Liter per Day (MLD) projects for both the new and replacement markets since the establishment.
LG SW R (High Rejection) membranes offer a combination of high rejection and low energy requirements to reduce the total cost of desalination; suitable for medium to high salinity seawater applications.
