RO XRLE

Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for RO XRLE. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.

Summary

Product Identification

The MICRODYN RO XRLE series consists of high rejection, low energy brackish water reverse osmosis (RO) elements. These spiral-wound membranes are designed for water purification applications requiring high rejection combined with reduced energy consumption, operating at low pressure. NSF certification is available upon request.

  • Membrane Chemistry: Thin-Film Composite Polyamide

The following table details the specifications for various models:

ModelPermeate Flow – m³⁄day (GPD)Membrane Area – m² (ft²)
4040-XRLE7.2 (1,900)7.9 (85)
8040-XRLE-40035.9 (9,500)37.2 (400)

Important Information

Refer to the official MANN+HUMMEL Water & Fluid Solutions guides for detailed start-up, cleaning, and storage procedures to ensure proper operation and prevent membrane damage. Pretreatment is recommended for the removal of free chlorine and other oxidizing agents to prevent damage to membranes.
