Goyal Knitfab Pvt. Ltd., a leading specialty warp knit fabric manufacturer firm, has announced the successful development of permeate spacer for spirally wound filtration modules, specifically RO membranes. A top manufacturer of warp knit fabrics for various technical as well as fashion applications, the company is based in Surat, a synthetic textile hub of India.
The spacer is a high performance material for use in spirally wound RO and UF elements. The fabric can be used as a reinforcing layer in order to increase efficiency and durability of RO and UF elements. The spacer passes strict US FDA testing norms for use for potable water and liquids applications.
All water purification equipment manufacturers in India are currently dependent on expensive imports for filtration membranes and its parts. The availability of the permeate spacer could give membrane manufacturers a local alternative supplier which can lead to significant savings in lead times, precious foreign exchange and lower stocks.
