POLYMEX SW-8040HR is an 8040-size seawater reverse osmosis membrane designed for seawater desalination and high-TDS water treatment. It provides 400 ft² (37.2 m²) active membrane area, 6,500 GPD (24.6 m³/day) permeate flow, and 99.8% stabilized salt rejection.

POLYMEX SW-8040HR is a high-rejection seawater reverse osmosis membrane element designed for seawater desalination and the treatment of high-salinity water. The membrane features 400 ft² (37.2 m²) of active membrane area and delivers a nominal permeate flow of 6,500 GPD (24.6 m³/day). With a stabilized salt rejection of 99.8%, the SW-8040HR is suitable for applications requiring high desalination performance and reliable salt removal. It can be used for seawater desalination, high-salinity wastewater treatment, landfill leachate and sewage wastewater treatment, concentration applications, and minimal or zero liquid discharge systems.
