Summary
Product identification
The Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR series are biomimetic brackish water reverse osmosis (RO) products that incorporate aquaporin water channels into membranes, enabling fast, energy-efficient, and natural water filtration. The CLEAR Eco RO elements are the lowest energy products in the CLEAR series, designed for best productivity.
Key features:
- Best in-class permeate flow rate
- Consistent water quality at super low applied pressure
- Reliable performance in long-term operation
Applications:
- Drinking water purification
- Light industrial applications
- Compact commercial solutions
Product specifications
Product performances are tested at 25 °C (77 °F), 15% recovery, pH 7-8. Permeate flow rates and rejections are stated after a minimum of 60 minutes operation. Flow rates for individual elements may vary but will be no more than 15% below the value shown.
