Designing membrane systems Designing membrane systems
just got easier… Again! just got easier… Again!
Welcome to Winflows, the most up-to-date membrane system
design program available. Never before has a membrane
design program allowed such complex, sophisticated designs,
or been as easy to use. It’s all part of Osmonics' commitment
to bringing you the best design tools possible.

Winflows is complex enough for the most sophisticated

designer, yet easy enough for beginners to use. For example,
Winflows includes complex system configurations such as
designs with feed bypass, recycle, two-pass, and two-stage
configurations. With the two-pass and two-stage configurations,
designers even have the ability to choose interpass pumps.
By opening multiple windows, users have easy access to
information about how design changes affect performance.
And for beginners, Auto Design Wizard leads designers through
the whole process, step by step.
