Chlorine Solves the Biofouling Problem

No Clogging Means
Less Pressure
Chlorine addition keeps membranes from biofouling and clogging.
Clean Pre-Treatment =
Lower Energy
Pretreatment membranes also stay clean and unclogged from biofouling.
Clean Membranes
Last Longer
NALA MEMBRANES runs longer with less energy and less cleaning maintenance.
The Facts
Modern water systems face challenges in meeting growing demand efficiently, and their reliance on polyamide reverse osmosis membranes—a technology that has remained unchanged for over 40 years, limits improvements. These membranes are not chlorine-tolerant, making it difficult to maintain peak performance without regular maintenance and cleaning that costs time/labor/chemicals, reduces output, and tends to reduce the membrane lifetime. This cleaning process is time-consuming, often causes irreversible damage, and shortens the membranes' lifespan.
As a result, systems using polyamide membranes experience higher costs, added complexity, and increased environmental impacts. That's why NALA Membranes is the smartest choice for water reuse where treatment conditions can be the most challenging.
