Spirapro 8040 SR3-NYVP Pharmaceutical

Summary

Product identification

SPIRAPRO™ 8” PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE NF ELEMENTS are Nanofiltration 8” Sanitary Spiral Element Series.

• Membrane Chemistry: Proprietary TFC® polyamide
• Membrane Type: SR™3: selective rejection nanofiltration. Molecular weight cut-off: 200 daltons
• Construction: Sanitary spiral wound with net outer wrap and attached Anti-Telescoping Devices (ATD’s)
• Applications: Desalting, concentration, and separation of antibiotics and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API’s)
• Regulatory Status: Passed USP Class VI testing for element components. Conform to FDA food-contact regulations (CFR Title 21).
• Options: Feed Spacer: N (31 mil) or V (46 mil)
• Membrane Characteristics: SR™3 elements are selected for desalting and organic concentration, providing high retention of divalent salts, proteins, and sugars while preferentially passing monovalent salts such as sodium chloride.

Nominal Performance

Performance data is based on test conditions: 5,000 mg/l MgSO₄ in deionized water at 95 psi (6.5 bar) applied pressure, 10% recovery, 77°F (25°C), pH 7.5.

• Part Number 8882229 (SPIRAPRO 8040 SR3-NYVP)
  • Rejection: 99.0%
  • Active Membrane Area: 371 ft² (34.5 m²)
  • Feed Spacer: 31 mil (0.8 mm)
• Part Number 8882231 (SPIRAPRO 8040 SR3-VYVP)
  • Rejection: 99.0%
  • Active Membrane Area: 291 ft² (27.0 m²)
  • Feed Spacer: 46 mil (1.1 mm)

Operating Limits

• Maximum Operating Pressure: 650 psi (44.8 bar)
• Maximum Process Temperature: 122°F (50°C)
• Maximum Cleaning Temperature: 113°F (45°C)
• pH Range - Continuous Operation: 4.0-10.0
• pH Range - Clean-In-Place (CIP): 1.8-11.0
• Design Pressure Drop Per Element: 3 - 6 psi (0.2-0.4 bar)
• Design Pressure Drop Per Vessel: 15-35 psi (1.0-2.4 bar)
• Permeate Pressure: Should not exceed baseline (concentrate) pressure at any time. Reverse pressure will damage the module.
• Maximum Differential Pressure per element: 6 psi (0.4 bar)
• Maximum Differential Pressure per vessel: 35 psi (2.4 bar)

Feed Water / Chemical Tolerance

• Maximum Feed Turbidity: 1 NTU
• Maximum Feed Silt Density Index (SDI 15-minute test): 5.0
• Free Chlorine Tolerance: 1,000 ppm-hours at 77°F (25°C), pH 8.
• Maximum Continuous Chlorine Exposure Limit: 0.2 ppm.
• Chlorine Elimination: Sodium metabisulfite (without catalysts such as cobalt) is the preferred chemical to eliminate free chlorine or similar oxidizers in the feed. Chlorine tolerance may be significantly reduced if catalyzing metals (e.g., iron) are present or if feed pH and/or temperature conditions differ.
• Cationic Polymers and Surfactants: SR™3 membranes may be irreversibly fouled if exposed to cationic (positively charged) polymers or surfactants. Exposure to these chemicals during operation or cleaning is not recommended and will void the warranty.
• Lubricants: For element installation, use only water or glycerin to lubricate seals. The use of petroleum or vegetable-based oils or solvents may damage the element and will void the warranty.
• Storage Solution: The SR™3 elements are stored in sorbic acid solution.
