Aquaporin-Inside Clear Ultra 4040, 4040 XL

Summary

Product identification

The Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR Ultra 4040 Element Series are biomimetic products incorporating aquaporin proteins, nature's water channels. They are designed for high capacity, low energy, advanced reverse osmosis.

• Product Names:
  • Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR Ultra 4040 (Item no. 40101)
  • Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR Ultra 4040XL (Item no. 40102)
• Element Type: Tape wrap, wet
• Active membrane area:
  • Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR Ultra 4040: 85 ft² (7.9 m²)
  • Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR Ultra 4040XL: 97 ft² (9.0 m²)

Operating limits

• Maximum operating pressure: 20.7 bar (300 psi)
• 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

Feed water

Test conditions for stated product performance:

• Feed water: 500 ppm NaCl
• Pressure: 100 psi (6.9 bar)
• Temperature: 25°C (77°F)
• Recovery: 15%
• pH: 7-8

Operational limits for feed water:

• Maximum feed flow rate: 3.6 m³/h (16 gpm)
• Maximum feed water SDI: 5 (15 min)
• Maximum feed water turbidity: 1 NTU
• Free chlorine tolerance: < 0.1 ppm

Product water

• Permeate flow rate:
  • Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR Ultra 4040: 2,800 GPD
  • Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR Ultra 4040XL: 3,300 GPD
  • Individual element permeate flow rate may vary ± 15%.
• Typical rejection: 99.0%
• Permeate from the first hour of operation should be discarded. Do not use this initial permeate for consumption.

Mechanical / hydraulic

The CLEAR Ultra 4040 element series fits standard 4 inch inner diameter pressure vessels.

• Element Dimensions (inches / millimeters):
  • A: 40.0 / 1016.0
  • B: 1.05 / 26.7
  • C: 0.75 / 19.1
  • D: 3.95 / 100.3
• For element loading use only glycerine to lubricate o-rings and brine seal.
• Keep elements moist at all times after initial wetting.
• 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.
