Test Conditions: 2,000 mg/l NaCl solution at 125 psi (860 kPa) applied pressure, 15% recovery (20% recovery for Magnum® elements), 77°F (25°C) and pH 7.5.

Performance Notes: Performance specifications are nominal values. Individual element permeate flows may vary +20/-15% from the values shown. Minimum MgSO₄ rejection is 97.5% at the specified test conditions.

Operating limits

  • Typical operating pressure: 100 - 175 psi (690 - 1,208 kPa)
  • Maximum operating pressure: 350 psi (2,400 kPa)
  • Permeate pressure: Should not exceed feed-concentrate pressure by more than 5 psi (34 kPa) at any time.
  • 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
  • Maximum differential pressure per element (40” length): 10 psi (69 kPa)
  • Maximum differential pressure per vessel: 60 psi (414 kPa)
  • Maximum feed turbidity: 1 NTU (feedwater >0.2 NTU generally results in frequent cleanings).
  • Maximum feed SDI (15 minute): 5.0
  • Recovery: Single element recovery is approximately 15% for 40” (1,016 mm) long elements and 20% for 60” (1,524 mm) long elements. System recovery is site and application specific.

Chemical Tolerance

  • Chlorine and other oxidizing agents (permanganate, ozone, bromine, iodine): Intentional exposure is not recommended.
    • Free chlorine tolerance: Approximately 1,000 ppm-hours based on testing at 77°F (25°C), pH 8. This tolerance may be significantly reduced by catalyzing metals (e.g., iron) or different pH/temperature. Sodium metabisulfite 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.
  • Cationic (Positively Charged) Polymers and Surfactants: Exposure during operation or cleaning is not recommended, as it may cause irreversible fouling.
  • Lubricants: For element loading, use only approved silicone lubricant, water, or glycerin for O-rings and brine seals. Petroleum-based lubricants or vegetable-based oils may damage the element and void the warranty.
