Operating Information / Notes

  • Consult the latest Toray technical bulletin, design guidelines, computer design program, and/or an application specialist for recommended design ranges.
  • Failure to strictly follow the operating limits will nullify the Limited Warranty.
  • Elements are wet tested, treated with a tested feed water solution, and vacuum packed in oxygen barrier bags with deoxidant.
  • To prevent biological growth during system shutdown, it is recommended to flush Toray elements with seawater for 30-60 minutes once every two days.
  • The presence of free chlorine and other oxidizing agents (especially with heavy metals as oxidation catalysts) in the feed water will cause unexpected membrane oxidation. It is strongly recommended to remove these oxidizing agents before operating the RO system.
  • Permeate from the first hour of operation shall be discarded.
  • The customer is fully responsible for the effects of chemicals incompatible with the elements. Their use will void the element Limited Warranty.
