ZeeWeed 500 - The Most Robust
Membrane on the Market
Reinforced inner structure ensures a long
and trouble free membrane life
ZeeWeed membranes have the highest
solids tolerance of any HF membrane
system, offering more reliability over the
plant’s lifecycle
Produces a high quality water at all times
regardless of water quality change or
upset
Does not require pre-clarification thereby
reducing capital/operating costs and
simplifying the system
Conservative design and the unique
operator tools ensure that the system
works through any unexpected situation
39 /

ZeeWeed 500: Precise Fiber
Placement
High solids tolerance
• Routine operation in drinking
water up to 5,000 mg/L
• Process flexibility
Proven design details
• Efficient aeration minimizes
resistance of cake layer
• Shell-less design and spacing
between modules and fibers
eliminates solids accumulation
• Optimum fiber slack prevents
solids build-up Defined spatial
