AK-400

Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for AK-400. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.

Summary

Product identification

The AK Series are Low Energy Brackish Water RO Elements from the A-Series family of proprietary thin-film reverse osmosis elements, characterized by high flux and high sodium chloride rejection. These elements allow significant energy savings, achieving good rejection at operating pressures as low as 100 psi (689 kPa).

  • Membrane: A-series, thin-film membrane (TFM)

Product water

Performance is based on testing conditions of 500ppm NaCl solution at 115psi (793kPa) operating pressure, 77°F (25°C), pH 7.5 and 15% recovery. Average salt rejection is after 24 hours operation. Individual flow rate may vary ±20%.
