AQUAPHOR LP22-8040 Reverse Osmosis Membrane Element: High Performance at Low Pressure
The AQUAPHOR LP22-8040 membrane element from the LP (Low Pressure) series is an advanced, high-performance water purification solution created using an aromatic polyamide composite. It provides exceptional productivity, high selectivity, and cost-effectiveness at a low operating pressure.
Purpose and Advantages
The LP22-8040 membrane effectively desalinates surface, ground, and tap water with a salt content up to 4,000 ppm. Thanks to its technology, it is perfectly suited for producing water of the highest purity, used in the following industries:
- Electronics and Power Generation: For the production of ultrapure water.
- Food and Beverage: For preparing beverages and providing clean water for technological needs.
- Industrial Processes: For the preparation of water for boilers and other systems.
- Multi-stage Reverse Osmosis Systems: For achieving maximum efficiency.
Key Characteristics
- High Performance: The average permeate flow of the element is 38.0 m³ per day (10,000 GPD), which guarantees a consistently large flow of purified water.
- Highest Purification Quality: The membrane ensures a stable salt rejection rate of 99.5%. It also effectively removes organic substances and silicon dioxide (SiO2).
- Low-Pressure Operation: Thanks to LP technology, the membrane operates at a pressure that is significantly lower than standard elements while providing high performance. This allows for a substantial reduction in energy consumption and operating costs.
- Durable Construction: The element features a housing made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic, ensuring durability and resistance to an operating pressure of up to 4.14 MPa (600 psi).
