Description
PROC™ (Powerful RO Composite) Membrane Elements
PROC™ (Powerful RO Composite) membrane elements are the latest enhanced low-fouling series from Hydranautics, USA, designed specifically for applications utilizing wastewater, industrial effluent, contaminated surface water, and similar challenging feedwater sources. The series features a reinforced flat-sheet design that improves chemical tolerance and operational stability. Equipped with a 34mil specially configured feed spacer, it reduces pressure drop, minimizes fouling tendencies, and enhances cleanability and flux recovery. The end cap is designed with an air-venting structure to mitigate hydraulic shock during system startup, lowering the risk of membrane damage.
Within the PROC series, the high-rejection PROC10 membrane ensures excellent product water quality, while the energy-saving PROC20, compared to conventional low-pressure membranes, can reduce system energy consumption by approximately 30%.
PROC™ Enhanced Low-Fouling Reverse Osmosis Membrane Elements | Designed for Wastewater & Challenging Feedwater Applications
Product Overview
The PROC™ (Powerful RO Composite) series is the latest enhanced low-fouling reverse osmosis membrane lineup from Hydranautics, USA, specifically engineered for challenging water sources such as municipal/industrial wastewater, contaminated surface water, and other high-fouling feed streams. Featuring a reinforced flat-sheet configuration and 34mil optimized feed spacer technology, it delivers highly stable separation performance and outstanding fouling resistance even under demanding water quality conditions.
Key Advantages
• Robust Antifouling Structure – 34mil specially contoured feed spacer reduces pressure drop, delays fouling, and enhances cleaning recovery.
• High Chemical Tolerance – Reinforced membrane sheets allow cleaning over a wider pH range, extending chemical cleaning cycles.
• Startup Protection Design – End cap with air venting minimizes hydraulic shock and reduces risk of membrane damage during system startup.
• Dual Model Options – High-rejection PROC10 ensures water quality; energy-saving PROC20 reduces energy consumption by ~30% compared to standard low-pressure membranes.
• Broad Source Water Compatibility – Municipal wastewater, industrial effluent, polluted surface water, cooling tower blowdown, and more.

Installation Notes
Pretreatment Requirement: SDI <5, UF/MF recommended as guard filter.
Initial Startup: Flush at low pressure for 1 hour to remove preservative solution.
Cleaning Indication: Clean when normalized pressure drop increases 15% or normalized flux decreases 10%.
Storage: For long-term idle, preserve with 1% sodium metabisulfite solution.
Selection Tips
- Choose PROC10 for higher salt rejection or PROC20 for higher flux and energy savings based on feed water fouling potential.
- Hydranautics recommended antiscalant and cleaning chemicals are suggested for optimal membrane life.
- Custom process design support is available for complex water quality projects.
