Validation Notes

🌊

Stable Rejection & Boron Removal

Aquaporin protein channels deliver exceptional salt passage consistency, ideal for single-pass SWRO. Typical boron rejection >92% under seawater conditions.

Marine-Grade Design

Robust 28 mil feed spacer reduces fouling and improves cleanability in harsh marine and high-salinity environments.

📋

WHO-Aligned Permeate Quality

High boron rejection supports drinking water guidelines when used in properly designed seawater desalination trains.

🔩

Standard 8040 Format

Fits any standard 8-inch inner diameter pressure vessel — same installation envelope as conventional seawater RO elements.

Recommended Limits

Maximum Feed SDI (15 min) 5.0
Maximum Feed Flow (8" element) 75 GPM (17 m³/h)
Minimum Brine Flow 30 GPD per element
Max Pressure Drop (per element) 15 psi (1.0 bar)
