1 GE Sepa™ RO Membranes By: Austin Anderson Materials Science 3344 Dr. Larry Peel

2 Reverse Osmosis Membranes

3 RO elements

4 What is a membrane made from? In the late 1950s asymmetric cellulose acetate (CA) membranes were developed for RO processes. In the late 1950s asymmetric cellulose acetate (CA) membranes were developed for RO processes. its derivative is polyamide (PA) polymer membrane. its derivative is polyamide (PA) polymer membrane. A polyamide is a polymer containing monomers joined by peptide bonds. A polyamide is a polymer containing monomers joined by peptide bonds.

5 RO membrane biofouling Scanning Electron Microscope of 3-day old biofilm forming on surface of a CA RO membrane. Scanning Electron Microscope of 3-day old biofilm forming on surface of a CA RO membrane. The biofilm begins to develop from discrete microcolonies which eventually grow together to form a confluent biofilm.
