Feed spacers are net-like structures present in spiral wound membrane modules (SWM) used for treatment of water and wastewater. Feed spacers require appropriate stiffness to support membrane without damaging and puncturing the membrane surfaces. They also need to be flexible enough to be rolled up a...
