The RSL Membrane™ is a new technology which uses a replaceable aluminum oxide powder membrane skin layer. The aluminum oxide stabilizes and destabilizes suspended-colloidal solids, and oil for simultaneous separation within a membrane housing. The technology is being used commercially. DBE Hytec Ltd. has various distributor purchase agreements and specifically a 5-year purchase agreement with one of the world’s largest energy service providers. RSL Membranes™ typically do not require any pretreatment and operate with a pore size 25000 times larger than a UF membrane yet achieve similar quality water to a UF membrane. RSL Membranes™ do not foul from feed water quality parameters such as oil, surfactants, iron and metals, silicates, and oxidizing agents and can withstand sharp spikes in these same parameters. RSL Membranes™ are much more energy efficient, with 10 times the flux rate and much higher recovery rates compared to Ultrafiltration membranes. The latter point is important economically as the capex payback is very fast. We look forward to the opportunity to present the RSL Membrane™ technology to you.
