SOAR 5000i

Summary

Product identification

The FilmTec™SOAR 5000i Element is a high rejection, brackish water reverse osmosis (RO) element designed for DesaliTec™CCRO Systems. It features an advanced element design based on a cleanable membrane chemistry.

It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including municipal water and wastewater, bottled water, and boiler feed water.

Key advantages include:

• Combines the versatility of the patented DesaliTec™CCRO process with DuPont’s FilmTec™membrane innovation for enhanced reliability.
• Durable membrane with a cleaning tolerance over a wide pH range (pH 1-13) for consistent, long-lasting life.
• iLEC™interlocking end caps, designed to reduce system operating costs and the risk of o-ring leaks.

Product water

The following typical properties are based on standard test conditions: 2,000 ppm NaCl, 240 psi (16.5 bar), 77°F (25°C), pH 8, and 20% recovery. Stabilized salt rejection is generally achieved within 24-48 hours of continuous use.

• Active Area: 400 ft² (37 m²)
• Permeate Flow Rate: 12,000 gpd (44 m³/d)
• Minimum Salt Rejection: 99.4%
• Stabilized Salt Rejection: 99.7%

Operating limits

• Membrane Type: Polyamide Thin-Film Composite
• Maximum Operating Temperature: 113 °F (45 °C)
• Maximum Operating Pressure: 600 psig (41 bar)
• Maximum Element Pressure Drop: 15 psig (1.0 bar)
• pH Range (Continuous Operation): 2 - 11 (Maximum temperature for continuous operation above pH 10 is 95 °F (35 °C))
• pH Range (Short-Term Cleaning, 30 min.): 1 - 13

Feed water

• Maximum Feed Silt Density Index (SDI): SDI 5
• Free Chlorine Tolerance: < 0.1 ppm

Mechanical / hydraulic

The element is designed to fit a nominal 8-inch (203 mm) I.D. pressure vessel.

• Feed Spacer: 34 mil
• Net Length (A): 40.0 inches (1,016 mm)
• Length with iLEC™Endcaps (B): 40.5 inches (1,029 mm)
• Diameter (C): 7.9 inches (201 mm)
• Permeate Tube ID (D): 1.125 ID (29 mm)

General Information

• Elements must be kept moist at all times after initial wetting.
• Operating limits and guidelines must be strictly followed to maintain warranty validity.
• For prolonged system shutdowns, elements should be immersed in a preservative solution to prevent biological growth.
• The customer is responsible for effects of incompatible chemicals and lubricants on elements.
• Static permeate-side backpressure should be avoided at all times.
• Permeate obtained from the first hour of operation should be discarded.
• The use of this product alone does not guarantee the removal of cysts and pathogens; effective reduction depends on complete system design, operation, and maintenance.
• This product may be subject to drinking water application restrictions in some countries.
