Driven by a vision of accessible, sustainable water treatment, the TX-1 UPGRADE is our flagship RO Membrane Coating. Tested with the reliable Filmtec BW30, designed to deliver exceptional performance and reliability for a wide range of applications. At the heart of the TX-1 UPGRADE is our patent-pending activated carbon membrane technology, engineered to provide superior fouling resistance and contaminant rejection. With a focus on durability and ease of maintenance, the TX-1 UPGRADE is built to withstand the rigors of industrial use while minimizing downtime and operational costs.
Engineering decisions made specifically for industrial use and field deployment realities. Keep your flow rate constant, and your downtime and maintenance costs low, even in challenging feedwater conditions.
TXS coats your existing membranes — no replacement, no new procurement. The TX-1 coating delivers constant flux, 70% fewer CIP events, doubled membrane lifespan, and enhanced contaminant rejection. *Estimates based on industry averages — contact us for a site-specific analysis.
Energy model: TXS constant-flux SEC = 1.50 kWh/m³ (Schäfer et al., 2019, Applied Energy — BWRO baseline). Standard degraded SEC = 1.75 kWh/m³ average over fouling cycle — fouling raises SEC 41–50% as fouling factor falls 1.0→0.6 (Al-Abri et al., 2024, Desalination); SEC rise of 0.3–0.6 kWh/m³ within 60 days on uncoated membranes (Okamoto & Lienhard, 2021, Desalination). Convexity penalty: because SEC is a convex function of flux (Power ∝ Q×ΔP), variable-flux operation costs more than constant-flux for equal annual volume — Jensen's inequality applied to energy integration. Rate: $0.12/kWh U.S. industrial average (EIA, 2023). CIP reduction: Wilf & Bartels (2006), J. Membrane Sci. Membrane lifespan benchmark: AWWA (2020). Individual results vary with feedwater conditions.
