Trisep UPR

Summary

Product identification

The TRISEP® UPR series consists of ultra-high pressure industrial membrane elements, designed for a maximum operating pressure of 120 bar (1,740 psi). These versatile elements are suitable for various industrial and wastewater purification applications, including leachate, minimum-liquid discharge, and processes involving high salt concentrations, utilizing a high-rejection membrane.

The elements feature a fiberglass outer wrap, diamond-shaped feed spacers, anti-telescoping devices (ATDs) attached to the ends, one brine seal, and one interconnector.

Important Information

• Start-up: It is recommended to flush elements for 30 minutes at low pressure and discard the permeate during the flush prior to operation. For a more detailed start-up procedure, refer to Element Start-Up Guide – System Start-Up (TSG-O-005).
• Cleaning: TRISEP® membrane elements require periodic cleaning to ensure proper operation and prevent membrane damage. Refer to Membrane Cleaning Guides.
• Storage: Proper storage is essential to ensure proper operation and prevent membrane damage. Refer to Element Storage Guides (TSG-O-009 & TSG-O-010).
