The BEV RO membrane element is engineered to provide beverage plants production water with a very high degree of total dissolved solids (TDS) removal, which is often required when producing purified water, teas, very low and sodium free products, and carbonated soft drinks. The BEV RO will produce treated water with lower levels of hardness, alkalinity, sodium, and chloride, and is also the element of choice on high TDS feed-water streams.
The BEV RO membrane element is tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for material requirements only.
Features include a Full-Fit* or a Cage design that eliminates the stagnant zone associated with industrial FRP elements and their brine seals, which can act as a site for bacterial growth. This design also offers less pressure resistance than an industrial FRP element, resulting in lower brake horsepower and substantial energy savings.
The BEV RO membrane element is a high rejection element following a 100% Wet Test Quality Assurance.
