ZeeWeed 1500 Brochure

Fact Sheet ZeeWeed* Pressurized Ultrafiltration Model ZW1500Description and Use As a pioneer of membrane technology, GE leverages decades of research, development, and operational experience in developing the most advanced pres-surized ultrafiltration technology in the market, ZeeWeed 1500. ZeeWeed systems are proven to consistently outperform conventional filtration technology while meeting or exceeding regulatory requirements, regardless of source water quality. Typical Applications Versatile and reliable, the pressurized ZeeWeed 1500 is ideally suited for use in numerous applica-tions including drinking water treatment, tertiary filtration and RO pre-treatment for brackish water and seawater. Compared to granular filter media, ZeeWeed membranes produce superior water quali-ty and are virtually unaffected by variable raw water quality - all at a cost comparable to conventional filtration technology. General Properties • 0.02 µm nominal pore diameter - for optimal removal of particulates, bacteria and viruses • PVDF hollow fiber membrane - provides high mechanical strength and chemical resistance • Outside-in filtration - provides uniform flow distribution and high solids tolerance Storage and Handling Modules may be stored in the original factory packaging for up to 1 year prior to installation. Modules must be stored between 5°C and 35°C (41°F to 95°F). Do not expose the membrane mod-ule to direct sunlight (UV light).
