ULP (Ultra Low Pressure) Membranes

Brief Introduction
The ULP/XULP series of membrane elements (TFC – Thin Film Composite) are made of Polyamide composite membrane materials, which can achieve the desired permeate water and high desalination rate under ultra-low/extreme-low pressure operation conditions. The operating pressure is 2/3 of the conventional composite membrane pressure, and the desalination rate can reach 99.3%. It can improve economic benefits, including reducing the investment cost of related pumps, pipelines, containers, and other equipment, as well as the operation cost of the whole reverse osmosis system.

ULP/XULP series of membrane elements is suitable for desalination treatment of surface water, groundwater, tap water, and municipal water with salt content less than 2000 ppm. It is mainly used in various fields of industry, such as pure water, boiler recharge water, food processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

FAQ about ULP Membrane

An ultra low pressure RO membrane is a reverse osmosis membrane designed to achieve high water production and salt rejection under lower operating pressure conditions.
Compared with conventional reverse osmosis membranes, ULP membranes require less operating pressure, helping reduce energy consumption and overall system costs.
Runmo ULP membranes are designed for efficient industrial water purification applications.

The main advantages of ultra low pressure RO membranes include:

  • Lower energy consumption
  • Reduced operating costs
  • Stable salt rejection performance
  • High water production efficiency
  • Reliable long-term operation

These features make ULP membranes suitable for applications requiring energy-efficient reverse osmosis solutions.

The main difference between ULP RO membranes and standard RO membranes is the required operating pressure.

ULP membranes are designed to achieve effective water purification at lower pressure, while standard RO membranes typically require higher pressure to achieve similar separation performance.

Choosing the right RO membrane depends on feed water quality, required water quality, and system operating conditions.

ULP reverse osmosis membranes are widely used in:

  • Surface water treatment
  • Groundwater purification
  • Municipal water treatment
  • Industrial water purification
  • Pure water production

They are especially suitable for projects requiring energy-saving reverse osmosis systems.

Yes. ULP membranes operate at lower pressure, which can help reduce energy consumption and decrease the investment requirements for pumps and related equipment.

By improving system efficiency, ULP reverse osmosis membranes provide a cost-effective solution for industrial water treatment applications.
