Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for LFC3-LD-8040. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.

Summary

Product identification

  • Membrane Element: LFC3-LD
  • Type: Low Fouling Spiral Wound
  • Membrane Polymer: Composite Polyamide, Neutrally charged
  • Membrane Active Area: 400 ft² (37.1 m²)

Test Conditions

The stated performance is initial (data taken after 30 minutes of operation), based on the following conditions:

  • 1500 PPM NaCl solution
  • 225 psi (1.55 MPa) Applied Pressure
  • 77 °F (25 °C) Operating Temperature
  • 15% Permeate Recovery
