The AG-Series standard brackish water reverse osmosis elements are characterized by high flux and high sodium chloride rejection. AG Series elements are selected when high rejection and operating pressures as low as 200 psi (1,379 kPa) are desired. These elements are considered a standard in the industry.
Typical Operating Pressure: 200 psi (1,379 kPa)
Typical Operating Flux: 10-20 GFD (15-35 LMH)
Maximum Operating Pressure:
Tape: 450 psi (3,103 kPa)
Other outerwrap: 600 psi (4,137 kPa)
Maximum Temperature:
Continuous operation: 122°F (50°C)
Clean-In-Place (CIP): 122°F (50°C)
pH Range:
Optimum rejection: 7.0-7.5,
Continuous operation: 2.0-11.0,
Clean-In-Place (CIP): 1.0-13.0(1)
Maximum Pressure Drop:
Tape: 7 psi (48 kPa) over an element,
25 psi (172 kPa) over the vessel
Cage and FRP: 15 psi (103 kPa) over the element,
60 psi (413 kPa) over the vessel
Chlorine Tolerance: 1,000+ ppm x hours, Dechlorination recommended
