AK Series Low Energy Brackish Water RO Elements

AK Low Pressure Brackish Water Elements are selected when high rejection and low operating pressures are desired.

The A-Series, family of proprietary thin-film reverse osmosis membrane elements are characterized by high flux and high sodium chloride rejection. AK Low Pressure Brackish Water Elements are selected when high rejection and low operating pressures are desired. These elements allow significant energy savings since good rejection is achieved at operating pressures as low as 100 psig (689 kPa).

Note

Average salt rejection after 24 hours operation. Individual flow rate may vary +25%/-15%.
Testing conditions: 500ppm NaCl solution at 115psig (793 kPa) operating pressure, 77°F, pH7.5 and 15% recovery.

Note

These elements ship dry unless specified wet.
