Low Energy Consumption Reverse Osmosis Elements for Brackish Water
The thin-film composite reverse osmosis membranes of the A series feature high flow and high rejection of sodium chloride. The low-pressure AK elements for brackish water are selected when high rejection rates and an operating pressure of about 100 psi (689 kPa) are desired. These elements allow for significant energy savings.
