Aquaporin-Inside Clear Plus 8040

Summary

Product identification

The AQUAPORIN INSIDE® CLEAR PLUS 8040 ELEMENT (Item no. 40106) is a Fiberglass, wet type element designed for High Capacity Low Energy Advanced Reverse Osmosis. It is a biomimetic product incorporating aquaporin proteins, nature’s water channels, to provide high water flow with enhanced rejection performance and low energy water treatment. Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR membranes are available in standard configurations compatible with commercial or industrial RO systems.

Product performance

Product performance is tested at 25°C (77°F), 15% recovery, pH 7-8, with 2,000 ppm NaCl feed water at 125 psi (8.6 bar). Individual element permeate flow rate may vary ± 15%.

• Active membrane area: 440 ft² (41 m²)
• Permeate flow rate: 11,500 GPD
• Typical rejection: 99.0%

Operating limits

• Maximum operating pressure: 41.4 bar (600 psi)
• Maximum feed flow rate: 17 m³/h (75 gpm)
• Maximum operating temperature: 45°C (113°F)
• Maximum pressure drop: 0.7 bar (10 psi)
• Maximum feed water SDI: 5 (15 min)
• Maximum feed water turbidity: 1 NTU
• pH range (operation): 3-10
• pH range (short-term cleaning): 2-11
• Free chlorine tolerance: < 0.1 ppm

Mechanical / hydraulic

The CLEAR Plus 8040 element fits standard 8 inch inner diameter pressure vessels. For element loading, use only glycerine to lubricate o-rings and brine seal.

Dimensions (inches / millimeters):

• A: 40.0 / 1016.0
• B: 7.9 / 200
• C: 1.125 / 28.6

Additional information

• Permeate from the first hour of operation should be discarded and not used for consumption.
• To prevent biological growth during prolonged system shutdowns, it is recommended that membrane elements be immersed in a preservative solution. Rinse out the preservative solution before use.
• Elements contained in the boxes must be kept dry at room temperature (7-32°C / 40-95°F) and should not be stored in direct sunlight.
• Keep elements moist at all times after initial wetting.
• The presence of free chlorine and other oxidizing agents can cause premature membrane failure. Aquaporin A/S recommends removing residual free chlorine by pretreatment prior to membrane exposure.
