Summary

Product Identification

The RE8040-BLR is a low pressure grade RO element designed for low brackish water applications.

• Model Name: RE8040-BLR
• General Features: Low-Energy Consumption, High Permeate Flow and High Rejection
• Membrane Type: Thin-Film Composite
• Membrane Material: Polyamide (PA)
• Element Configuration: Spiral-Wound, FRP Wrapping
• Certifications: Certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61

Operating Limits

• Max. Pressure Drop / Element: 15 psi (0.10 MPa)
• Max. Pressure Drop / 240” Vessel: 60 psi (0.41 MPa)
• Max. Operating Pressure: 600 psi (4.14 MPa)

Feed Water

Test conditions for performance specifications:

• 1,500 mg/L NaCl solution
• 15% recovery
• 77°F (25°C)
• pH 6.5–7.0
• 150 psig (1.03 MPa) applied pressure

Product Water

• Permeate Flow Rate: 10,000 GPD (37.9 m³/day)
• Nominal Salt Rejection: 99.6% (Minimum 99.5%)
• Permeate flow rate for each element may vary but will be no more than -5%.
• Permeate from the first hour of operation should be discarded.
• Stabilized salt rejection is generally achieved within 1~48 hours of continuous use.

Mechanical / Hydraulic

• Effective Membrane Area: 400ft² (37.2 m²)
• Dimensions:
  • A: 40.0 inch (1,016 mm)
  • B: 7.9 inch (200 mm)
  • C: 1.12 inch (28.5 mm)
• Weight: 15kg
• Accessories Part Numbers:
  • Inter-Connector: SWA01049
  • Brine Seal: SWA01043
• Each membrane element is supplied with one interconnector (coupler) and four O-rings.
• All RE8040 elements fit nominal 8.0 inch (203.2 mm) I.D. pressure vessels.
• The element shell is FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic).

General Handling Procedures

• Elements in boxes must be kept dry at room temperature (7–32°C; 40–95°F) and should not be stored in direct sunlight.
• For WET-TYPE, a preservative solution (1% sodium metabisulfite solution) is added to prohibit the growth of micro-organisms.
• 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 such chemicals may void the element limited warranty.
• Permeate pressure must always be equal or less than the feed/concentrate pressure. Damage caused by permeate back pressure voids the element limited warranty.
• Be aware of glass fiber strands and use safety equipment.
