FAQs on 8040 Industrial RO Membrane
What is an SpiroPure SP-XL8040 low pressure RO membrane?
An SpiroPure SP-XL8040 low pressure RO membrane is an Extremely Low-Pressure industrial reverse osmosis element measuring 8" x 40". It performs RO filtration at roughly half the operating pressure of a traditional industrial RO membrane, reducing energy consumption for low-salt and low-TDS applications at higher capacity than the 4040 size.
What is the capacity of the SpiroPure SP-XL8040 membrane?
The SpiroPure SP-XL8040 produces an average permeate output of 10,500 GPD (±15%) at 100 PSI, tested against 500 ppm feedwater NaCl, matching the capacity of other 8040 industrial elements in extra low pressure applications with similar water quality.
What is the SP-XL8040 RO membrane price?
The SpiroPure SP-XL8040 is priced to offer extremely low-pressure performance at a lower cost than comparable brand-name elements without compromising on output. See this page for current RO membrane prices.
Where can the SP-XL8040 industrial RO membrane be used?
The SP-XL8040 is used in industrial and commercial systems treating low-salinity water sources such as municipal tap water or pre-treated source water where reducing energy costs matters, such as production of purified water, boiler feed water, commercial ice production, and food or beverage processing applications requiring higher-volume, energy-efficient output.
How is an 8040 RO membrane different from a 4040 RO membrane?
An 8040 membrane measures 8" x 40" versus a 4040's 4" x 40", giving roughly four times the membrane surface area. The SP-XL8040 produces 10,500 GPD compared to the SP-XL4040's 2,400 GPD at the same 100 PSI operating pressure and feedwater conditions.
Is the SpiroPure SP-XL8040 compatible with other 8040 membrane models?
The SpiroPure SP-XL8040 is manufactured to match standard 8" x 40" industrial pressure vessel dimensions and extremely low-pressure performance specifications shared across the 8040 category.
