When wastewater TDS exceeds tens of thousands mg/L and COD remains high, conventional reverse osmosis membrane elements quickly fail due to concentration polarization and membrane fouling. System recovery drops sharply, cleaning cycles shorten to just a few days, and evaporation/crystallization costs remain prohibitive.
DTRO (Disc-Tube Reverse Osmosis) and STRO (Spiral Tube Reverse Osmosis) are specialized high-pressure membrane technologies engineered for extreme conditions. Both share open-channel flow path designs and high-pressure operation capabilities, achieving high-ratio concentration and stable permeate production that conventional membranes cannot reach.
