Technical Specifications
Why LG NanoH2O TFN Membranes
- Thin-Film Nanocomposite (TFN) technology — proprietary nano-particles embedded in the polyamide active layer deliver higher flux and improved salt rejection vs conventional TFC membranes.
- Lower energy consumption — higher permeate flow at the same feed pressure means fewer elements and reduced CapEx/OpEx for the same plant output.
- Improved fouling resistance — smoother, more hydrophilic surface chemistry reduces biofouling and scaling, extending cleaning intervals.
- Proven at scale — installed in municipal and industrial plants worldwide, from small commercial systems to >500,000 m³/d desalination plants.
Compatibility & Replacement
LG-SW-440-R-G2 is a standard 8" × 40" spiral-wound RO element and fits all industry-standard 8×40 pressure vessels (Codeline, Bekaert, Protec, ROPV, etc.). It is a like-for-like swap for Filmtec/DuPont, Hydranautics/Nitto, and Toray 8" × 40" seawater elements of comparable flow and rejection class.
B2B / OEM pricing available — volume discounts on full pressure vessel sets and container loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the LG-SW-440-R-G2?
It is a 8" x 40" seawater reverse osmosis membrane element from LG Water Solutions (NanoH2O), built on LG's patented Thin-Film Nanocomposite (TFN) chemistry. It produces up to 9,900 GPD at 99.88% salt rejection.
What is Thin-Film Nanocomposite (TFN) membrane?
TFN is LG NanoH2O's patented membrane technology that embeds engineered nanoparticles in the polyamide layer, delivering higher permeate flow and salt rejection at lower energy than conventional thin-film composite (TFC) membranes.
What is the rated flow and rejection?
Up to 9,900 GPD at 99.88% stabilized salt rejection, with 88% boron rejection, at standard test conditions (see the datasheet).
What pressure vessel does it fit?
A nominal 8-inch I.D. RO pressure vessel.
