Abstract

Polymeric thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in a patented spiral-wound element configuration were evaluated at process temperatures to 90°C. The viability of the membrane elements operating at high temperature was successfully demonstrated. The high temperature RO (HT-RO) membrane elements are suitable for a variety of dewatering, concentrating and component separation applications in liquid food and beverage processes that operate at an elevated temperature. In this paper, the performance of HT-RO elements for dewatering high temperature sugar solutions is highlighted. Also discussed are the special design features of the HT-RO element as well as its performance characteristics at high temperatures.
