Aquaporin-Inside Clear Plus 4040, 4040 XL

Summary

Product identification

The AQUAPORIN INSIDE® CLEAR PLUS 4040 ELEMENT SERIES includes the following products:

• Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR Plus 4040
  • Item no.: 40104
  • Element type: Fiberglass, wet
  • Active membrane area: 85 ft² (7.9 m²)
• Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR Plus 4040XL
  • Item no.: 40105
  • Element type: Tape wrap, wet
  • Active membrane area: 97 ft² (9.0 m²)

These are biomimetic products that derive their unique properties from embedded aquaporin proteins, nature’s water channels. They offer high water flow with enhanced rejection performance and low energy water treatment.

• Maximum operating temperature: 45°C (113°F)
• Maximum pressure drop: 0.7 bar (10 psi)
• pH range (operation): 3-10
• pH range (short-term cleaning): 2-11
• Free chlorine tolerance: < 0.1 ppm

Feed water

• Maximum feed water SDI: 5 (15 min)
• Maximum feed water turbidity: 1 NTU
• Test condition feed water: 2,000 ppm NaCl

Additional Information:

• For element loading, use only glycerine to lubricate o-rings and brine seal.
• Permeate from the first hour of operation should be discarded and not used for consumption.
• During prolonged system shutdowns, it is recommended to immerse membrane elements in a preservative solution. Rinse the preservative solution before use.
• Elements must be kept dry at room temperature (7-32°C / 40-95°F) and should not be stored in direct sunlight.
• Elements must be kept moist at all times after initial wetting.
• The presence of free chlorine and other oxidizing agents can cause premature membrane failure. Oxidation damage is not covered under warranty; therefore, Aquaporin A/S recommends removing residual free chlorine by pretreatment prior to membrane exposure.
