Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification process that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove ions, molecules, and larger particles from drinking water. It operates under pressure and is capable of removing up to 99% of impurities.
The ULP-8040HF has an active membrane area of 440 ft² (approximately 40.9 m²).
The ULP-8040HF has a typical permeate flow rate of 12,500 gallons per day (GPD), which is about 47.3 m³/d.
The ULP-8040HF has a salt rejection rate of 99.5%, which means it effectively removes a significant percentage of dissolved salts from water.
The ULP-8040HF is suitable for desalinating municipal water and groundwater with a salt concentration of less than 1500 ppm. It's widely used in residential, industrial, and food production applications.
Yes, pretreatment is often required to protect the RO membrane from damage by oxidizing agents like chlorine. This can involve filtration or other methods to ensure the longevity of the membrane.
The ULP-8040HF membrane can remove over 90% of ionic impurities, most organic impurities, and nearly all particulates, bacteria, and biomolecules that are less than 1 nm in diameter.
The ULP-8040HF operates under a pressure range of typically 4-15 bar (60-220 psi).
The ULP-8040HF is used in various applications, including groundwater treatment, surface water treatment, landfill leachate treatment, and food process water purification.
The recovery rate of the ULP-8040HF is typically around 15%, meaning that 15% of the feedwater is converted into permeate.
The lifespan of the ULP-8040HF membrane can vary based on water quality and maintenance practices, but with proper pretreatment and care, it can last several years.
Yes, the ULP-8040HF membrane is designed for potable water applications and effectively removes harmful contaminants, making the treated water safe for drinking.
The ULP-8040HF is designed for water with a salt concentration of less than 1500 ppm and is not suitable for direct seawater desalination.
Regular maintenance includes monitoring water quality, replacing prefilters, and cleaning the membrane as needed to prevent fouling and extend its lifespan.
The contaminants removed by the ULP-8040HF are carried away in a waste or concentrate stream, which is typically disposed of according to local regulations.
