RO flat sheet

The RO membrane flat sheets from Alfa Laval are widely used across food, beverage, dairy, biotech and pharmaceutical processes. With pores so minute that only water and very low molecular weight compounds can pass through, this filtration method delivers reliable performance even under high temperatures and extreme pH conditions.

Experience durable RO membrane flat sheets for ultimate purity

  • The most selective membrane in liquid separation, allowing only water to permeate
  • Cover a broad spectrum of flux properties, pore sizes, molecular weight cut-off values and rejection capabilities
  • Engineered to endure high temperatures and pH extremes during CIP operations
  • RO flat membranes are available cut to fit plate-and-frame modules, in 20 × 20 cm pieces, or by the meter
  • Supplied with all required lock and passage rings for sheet RO

Mapping the path to reliable RO performance

Finding the right reverse osmosis solution is a journey. The right membrane, with unique parameters like osmotic pressure, water flux and resistance, can mean the difference between the success and failure of the entire operation. Alfa Laval’s team of experts guides you through the process, from laboratory testing to full-scale operation.

LabUnits operate under controlled conditions, with typical transmembrane pressures (TMP) of 5–25 bar and fluxes ranging from 10–30 L/m²·h, depending on feed composition, temperature and membrane material. Standalone pilot systems can be equipped with either RO flat sheet membranes or RO spiral wound membranes to provide data under realistic operating conditions, including variations in feed, cleaning cycles and long-term fouling, so you can see exactly how your system will perform before it scales up.
