FAQs on 8040 Industrial RO Membrane
What is an 8040 fouling resistant membrane?
An 8040 fouling resistant membrane is a high-capacity reverse osmosis element engineered to resist scaling and fouling from suspended solids. The SpiroPure SP-FR8040 measures 8" x 40" and uses a wider 34 mm feed spacer for improved resistance to fouling in demanding applications.
What is the SP-FR8040 membrane used for?
All Filters is one of a few companies offering low-fouling membranes for reverse osmosis. Choose SpiroPure's SP-FR8040 for low fouling RO membrane applications like chemical plant wastewater, surface water, mining wastewater, industrial wastewater, and other fouling-prone treatment needs.
What are the main specifications of the FR8040 RO membrane?
The SpiroPure SP-FR8040 delivers 10,500 GPD (±15%) average permeate at 225 PSI, with 99.5% stabilized salt rejection and a 15% fresh water recovery rate. It uses a 34 mm feed spacer and is rated for feedwater up to 10,000 ppm NaCl.
Is the SP-FR8040 compatible with other 8040 RO membrane models?
The SpiroPure SP-FR8040 is manufactured as a compatible replacement for the Dupont Filmtec BW30FR-400/34, GE SUEZ AG8040F-400FR,34, Hydranautics Nitto LFC3-LD, and LG Chem LG BW 400 R G2, matching their 8" x 40" fouling-resistant specifications.
Can the SP-FR8040 be used for industrial wastewater treatment?
Yes. The SP-FR8040's wider feed spacer and high surface hydrophilicity are specifically engineered for industrial wastewater treatment, including chemical plants, mining wastewater, and municipal reclaimed water, where fouling potential is higher than typical municipal or well water sources.
How much does the SpiroPure SP-FR8040 cost?
The SpiroPure SP-FR8040 is priced in line with other SpiroPure 8040 industrial elements but at a fraction of the price of most name brand elements. AllFilters.com is one of the companies offering low-fouling membranes for reverse osmosis at comparable performance without the premium of a brand-name OEM part.
