Vontron Low Pressure Reverse Osmosis Membrane,
Vontron ULP11-4040 2,800 gpd RO membrane is an ultra-low pressure polyamide compound membrane element.
This world class ultra-low-pressure membrane delivers high permeate flows and salt rejection at lower raw water pressures, compared to regular low-pressure membrane elements. Suitable for brackish and bore water, however higher silt density index may require additional treatment. It operates under approximately 2 thirds of the operating pressure of regular low-pressure composite membrane and achieves a salt rejection rate of up to 98.0%. The lower energy requirement decreases the equipment cost in particular pump rating and pressure rating of the membrane housing.
This low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane is suitable for water purification applications of water sources with salt concentration lower than 2000 ppm, such as surface water, underground water, tap water and municipal water, etc.
ULP11-4040 membrane elements are ideally suited for commercial applications such as pure water boiler water feed, food processing, spot free rinse applications including window cleaning and pharmaceutical production.
