Summary
Product identification
The Food EGG Series elements are proprietary thin film reverse osmosis (RO) membrane elements designed for egg processing, specifically egg white concentration. They feature high flux and excellent sodium chloride rejection, as well as high rejection of dissolved solids and low molecular weight organic constituents.
Key features include:
- Durasan* Cage patented outer wrap
- Standard feed spacers
- Polysulfone parts
- Compliance with USDA guidelines for sanitary design and fabrication of dairy processing equipment or applicable 3-A sanitary standards.
The EGG elements comply with:
- FDA Regulations relevant sections of 21CFR
- EU Framework 1935/2004/EC
- Halal & Kosher certifications
Performance:
- Average rejection of 99.5% on 2,000ppm NaCl at 25°C (77°F) and 225psi operating pressure.
Operating limits
- Typical Operating Pressure: 200-500psi (1,379-3,447 kPa)
- Typical Operating Flux: 5-20 GFD (8-34 LMH)
- Clean Water Flux (CWF): 14 GFD (24 LMH) @ 225psi (CWF can vary ±25%)
- Maximum Operating Pressure: 600psi (4,137 kPa)
- Maximum Permeate Pressure: 60 psi (413 kPa) (Permeate pressure should never exceed the concentrate pressure.)
- Maximum Temperature: 122°F (50°C)
- pH Range: 2.0-11.0
