Hydranautics SWC5-LD | RO Membrane in UAE

The Hydranautics SWC5-LD is a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) membrane element engineered for high salt rejection, energy efficiency, and superior resistance to fouling and scaling. Manufactured by Hydranautics (a Nitto Group Company), this membrane is widely used in seawater desalination plants, coastal industries, and municipal water projects where long-term reliability and consistent performance are critical.

Available in the UAE through Aqua Flair, the SWC5-LD offers both excellent desalination efficiency and extended operational life, making it a preferred choice for large-scale water treatment facilities.

Product Overview – Hydranautics SWC5-LD

The Hydranautics SWC5-LD membrane is designed to handle high-salinity seawater sources while maintaining low operating costs. Its Low Differential (LD) technology ensures better flow distribution, reduced fouling, and more stable operation under challenging feedwater conditions.

With an 8-inch × 40-inch size, it integrates seamlessly into standard seawater RO systems and supports multi-element configurations for industrial-scale desalination plants.

Key Features & Advantages

  • High Salt Rejection – Produces permeate water with very low TDS even from high-salinity seawater
  • Low Fouling (LD) Technology – Improved water flow reduces pressure drop and cleaning frequency
  • Optimized Energy Use – Efficient design allows lower specific energy consumption
  • Durable TFC Polyamide Layer – Provides strength and reliability under high-pressure seawater conditions
  • Extended Service Life – Reduces downtime and lowers operating costs over time
  • Proven Hydranautics Quality – Manufactured under strict global standards for seawater desalination projects
