SWEP SealixTM

SWEP Sealix is a revolutionary SiO₂-based thin-film technology that increases the corrosion resistance and durability of BPHE plates, preventing metal leaching, fouling, and scaling. This nano-thin layer does not compromise heat transfer or pressure drop.

SWEP Sealix is especially advantageous in water-to-water applications, even with water that has a high mineral content. Applied to all surfaces that come into contact with water, SWEP Sealix acts as a protective layer on the BPHE plates. This protection can significantly increase the lifetime and operational safety of the entire system, while also reducing maintenance costs and unplanned downtime due to breakdowns. It causes no harm to people or the environment.

Longer lifetime, less maintenance
