Hydranautics PRO-XS1 Extra Ion Selectivity Nanofiltration Membranes
PRO-XS membranes are charged nanofiltration elements designed for enhanced ion selectivity, offering high rejection of divalent cations and anions. This allows for the selective removal and concentration of target ions, enabling the production of industrial-grade chemicals such as Glauber’s salt, hardness-free NaCl, and sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃).

Hydranautics PRO-XS1 Extra Ion Selectivity Nanofiltration Membranes
By facilitating the separation of salts within brine streams, PRO-XS membranes help minimize mixed salt waste destined for landfill. The purified salts obtained through this process can be recycled or commercially recovered, enhancing operational sustainability and profitability. These membranes are particularly suited for applications in industries where precise salt separation is essential, including chlor-alkali processing, textile manufacturing, electroplating, and dye production.
