Summary

Product identification

  • Product Name: FLUID SYSTEMS® TFC®- S 8” ELEMENT
  • Type: Softening, Low Pressure RO Element
  • Membrane Chemistry: Proprietary TFC® polyamide
  • Membrane Type: TFC®-S membrane
  • Construction: Spiral wound with helical fiberglass outerwrap
  • Applications: Municipal water treatment for softening and Trihalomethane Formation Potential (THMFP) reduction
  • Model: 8040-S-410
  • Part Number: 8892303

Product water

  • Permeate Flow: 7,800 GPD (29.5 m³/d)
    • Test Conditions: mixed feed with 700 mg/l TDS (at least 45% monovalent), at 80 psi (550 kPa) applied pressure, 15% recovery, 77°F (25°C) and pH 7.5.
    • Individual element permeate flows may vary +20/-20% from nominal values.
  • Chloride Rejection: 85%
    • Minimum Chloride Rejection: 80%
    • Test Conditions: mixed feed with 700 mg/l TDS (at least 45% monovalent), at 80 psi (550 kPa) applied pressure, 15% recovery, 77°F (25°C) and pH 7.5.
  • MgSO₄ Rejection: 99.0%
    • Minimum MgSO₄ Rejection: 97%
    • Test Conditions: 1,000 mg/l MgSO₄ in deionized water, at 80 psi (550 kPa) applied pressure, 15% recovery, 77°F (25°C) and pH 7.5.
  • Active Membrane Area: 410 ft² (38.0 m²)
  • Feed Spacer: 28 mil (0.7 mm)

Operating limits

  • Typical Operating Pressure: 75 - 125 psi (518 - 863 kPa)
  • Maximum Operating Pressure: 350 psi (2,410 kPa)
  • Maximum Operating Temperature: 113°F (45°C)
  • Maximum Cleaning Temperature: 113°F (45°C)
  • Allowable pH – Continuous Operation: 4 - 11
  • Allowable pH – Short term Cleaning: 2.5 - 11 (exposure to extended pH range recommended to be limited to 4 hours, once per month)
  • Permeate Pressure: Should not exceed feed-concentrate pressure by more than 5 psi (34 kPa) at any time (on-line, off-line and during transition).
  • Maximum Differential Pressure per 40” Long Element: 10 psi (69 kPa)
  • Maximum Differential Pressure per Vessel: 60 psi (414 kPa)
  • Recovery: Maximum recovery is site and application specific. Single element recovery is approximately 15% for 40” (1,016 mm) long elements.

Feed water

  • Maximum Continuous Free Chlorine: <0.1 mg/l
    • Free Chlorine Tolerance: Approximately 1,000 ppm-hours based on testing at 77°F (25°C), pH 8. This tolerance may be significantly reduced if catalyzing metals (e.g., iron) are present or if pH and/or temperature differ. Sodium metabisulfite (without catalysts such as cobalt) is the preferred reducing agent.
  • Chloramine Tolerance: Approximately 60,000 ppm-hours in the absence of free chlorine based on testing at 77°F (25°C), pH 8.
  • Maximum Feed Turbidity: 1 NTU (Experience shows feedwater with turbidity greater than 0.2 NTU generally results in frequent cleanings).
  • Maximum Feed SDI (15 minute test): 5.0
  • Cationic Polymers and Surfactants: Exposure is not recommended as it may irreversibly foul the TFC-S membrane.

Mechanical / hydraulic

  • Nominal Dimensions (Model 8040-S-410):
    • Length (A): 40 inches (1,016 mm)
    • Diameter (B): 8 inches (203 mm)
    • Center Tube Diameter (C): 1.125 inches (29 mm)
    • Weight: 44 lbs (20 kg)
  • Associated Part Numbers:
    • Interconnector: 0035260
    • O-ring: 0035464
    • Brine Seal: 0030584
  • Lubricants for Element Loading: Use only approved silicone lubricant (or approved equivalent), water, or glycerin to lubricate O-rings and brine seals. Petroleum or vegetable based oils may damage the element and void the warranty.
