What is 8040 RO Membrane Element ?

8040 RO Membrane  is a crucial component in the Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtration process, specifically designed to treat and purify drinking water. It efficiently removes impurities, contaminants, and dissolved solids, ensuring water is safe, clean, and fresh for consumption. With its high efficiency and reliability, this membrane is widely used in households, industries, and commercial applications.

Types of Contaminants Removed

✔ Dissolved Salts – Sodium, chloride, and other minerals
✔ Heavy Metals – Lead, mercury, and other harmful elements
✔ Chemicals – Chlorine, pesticides, and industrial pollutants
✔ Microorganisms – Bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens
✔ Organic Materials – Unwanted carbon-based compounds

BW & ULP Series Features

• High Permeate Flow & Excellent Desalination
• The BW series is ideal for various industrial water treatment applications

RO membranes are made from thin-film composite (TFC) materials and require regular maintenance to prevent fouling and scaling, which can impact efficiency and lifespan.

Important Notices

⚠ Variability in Permeate Flow: Individual elements may vary by +25% or -15%.
⚠ Sealing & Storage: The element is vacuum-sealed in a polyethylene bag, containing <1.0% sodium metabisulfite and 10% propylene glycol solution. It is supplied with an interconnector.
⚠ First Hour Operation: Permeate from the first hour of operation should be discarded.
⚠ Avoid Backpressure: Static backpressure on the permeate side should be avoided at all times.
⚠ Regulatory Compliance: Check local drinking water regulations before use and sale, as restrictions may apply in some countries.
⚠ Installation & Lubrication: When loading the element, use only glycerine to lubricate O-rings and the brine seal.
