CSM RE2012-LP

Summary

Product identification

The RE2012-LP is a low-pressure grade reverse osmosis (RO) element designed for residential use. It is certified to NSF/ANSI 58.

General Features

• Permeate Flow Rate: 50 GPD (189 L/day)
• NaCl Rejection: 93% (Minimum 90%)
• Membrane Type: Thin-Film Composite
• Membrane Material: Polyamide (PA)
• Element Configuration: Spiral-Wound, Tape Wrapping

Performance is based on data taken after 30 minutes of operation under the following test conditions:

• NaCl Solution: 100 mg/L
• Applied Pressure: 20 psig (0.14 MPa)
• Recovery: 15%
• Temperature: 77°F (25°C)
• pH: 6.5–7.0

Notes:

• Permeate flow rate for each element may vary +20% / -20%.
• Minimum salt rejection is 90.0%.
• All elements are vacuum leak tested using the CSM integrity test.
• Elements can be supplied as dry or wet-type.
• Wet-tested elements are soaked in a preservative solution (1.0% food grade SBS) and vacuum sealed.
• For WET-TYPE storage, a 1% sodium metabisulfite solution is added as a preservative.

Dimensions

• Model Name: RE2012-LP
• A: 0.67 inch (17 mm)
• B: 0.47 inch (12 mm)
• C: 11.73 inch (298 mm)
• D: 0.91 inch (23 mm)
• E: 1.89 inch (48 mm)

Operating Limits

• Max. Operating Pressure: 150 psi (1.03 MPa)
• Max. Feed Flow Rate: 2 gpm (0.45 m³/hr)
• Max. Operating Temperature: 113°F (45°C)
• Operating pH Range: 2.0 – 11.0
• Max. Turbidity: 1.0 NTU
• Max. SDI (15 min): 3.0
• Max. Chlorine Concentration: < 0.1 mg/L

General Handling Procedures

• Elements in boxes must be kept dry at room temperature (7–32°C; 40–95°F) and not stored in direct sunlight.
• Permeate from the first hour of operation should be discarded.
• Stabilized salt rejection is generally achieved within 1–48 hours of continuous use.
• Keep elements moist at all times after initial wetting.
• Avoid excessive pressure and flow spikes.
• Only use chemicals compatible with the membrane elements and components. Use of incompatible chemicals may void the element limited warranty.
• Permeate pressure must always be equal to or less than the feed/concentrate pressure. Damage caused by permeate back pressure voids the element limited warranty.
