AQUAPHOR XLP22-8040 Reverse Osmosis Membrane Element
Outstanding Efficiency at Extra-Low Pressure
The AQUAPHOR XLP22-8040 membrane element from the XLP (eXtra-Low Pressure) series is a high-performance solution for water purification up to 2000 tds, developed using an aromatic polyamide composite. It provides exceptional performance, high selectivity, and cost-effectiveness by operating at a record-low working pressure.
Purpose and Advantages
The XLP22-8040 membrane is designed for the effective desalination of surface, groundwater, and tap water, including sources with high salt content. Thanks to its XLP technology, it can operate at a pressure significantly lower than standard low-pressure elements. This makes it ideal for producing high-quality water while reducing operational costs in the following industries:
- Food and Beverage Industry: For producing pure water for technological processes.
- Electronics and Power Generation: For the production of ultrapure water.
- Industrial Processes: For water preparation for boilers, cooling systems, and other industrial needs.
- Multi-stage Reverse Osmosis Systems: For achieving maximum efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
Key Characteristics
- High Performance: The average output of the element is 45.7 m³ per day (12,100 GPD), ensuring a consistently large flow of purified water.
- High Purity: The membrane provides a stable salt rejection rate of 99.5%. It also effectively removes organic and colloidal substances, as well as silica.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Thanks to XLP technology, the membrane operates at a much lower pressure than conventional elements, which significantly reduces energy consumption and overall operating costs.
- Durable Construction: The element features a fiberglass-reinforced plastic casing, ensuring durability and resistance to working pressures up to 4.14 MPa (600 psi).
