Fact Sheet
OSMO* BEV Reverse Osmosis Series
Beverage and Bottled Water Production
The OSMO* BEV Reverse Osmosis membrane ele-
ment is engineered to provide beverage plants pro-
duction water with a very high degree of total
dissolved solids (TDS) removal, which is often re-
quired when producing purified water, teas, very
low and sodium free products, and carbonated soft
drinks. The OSMO BEV Reverse Osmosis will produce
treated water with lower levels of hardness, alkalini-
ty, sodium and chloride, and is also the element of
choice on high TDS feed-water streams.
The OSMO BEV Reverse Osmosis membrane ele-
ment is tested and certified by NSF International
against NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for material re-
quirements only.
Features include a Full-Fit* design that eliminates
the stagnant zone associated with industrial FRP
elements and their brine seals, which can act as a
site for bacterial growth. The OSMO BEV Reverse
Osmosis element forms a flush-fit with the inner
diameter of the membrane element housing, creat-
ing a self-cleaning effect. This design also offers less
pressure resistance than an industrial FRP element,
resulting in lower brake horsepower and substantial
energy savings.
The OSMO BEV Reverse Osmosis membrane is a
high rejection element following a 100% Wet Test
Quality Assurance and is available in dried, wet and
low energy models.
