SWC Membranes in Seawater Desalination

Due to climatic factors such as the drought that has affected Chile, one of the alternatives implemented to obtain water for human consumption is seawater desalination.

Chile has a significant advantage over many countries that have the same or worse conditions in terms of drought since we can use more than 4 thousand kilometers of coastline, and together with the technology that is already available, we can implement this type of equipment.

Specific membranes are required for the operation of desalination plants. At Mathiesen, we can offer this type of membrane thanks to having the representation of the Hydranautics brand, which provides a range of SWC membranes that have improved productivity and salt rejection for more than two decades while reducing their environmental impact. These membranes come in innovative formulations depending on the required seawater salinity level, offering the highest salt rejection rates and productivity in the industry combined with optimized flow, low fouling, and low energy consumption.

This extraordinary performance and consistency create demand for SWC membranes in high-TDS industrial wastewater treatment and seawater desalination applications, including conventional and hybrid designs.

If you are looking for a new project, we support you with the simulation of the type of plant to install, quantity, and type of membranes. Just send us your data, and one of our water treatment experts will contact you as soon as possible. We have direct technical support from the factory and the best specifications and recommendations for your plant to work correctly.
