GE P&W Spiral Wound Membranes - AE HR Series - Manual

Fact Sheet
AE HR Series
High Rejection Low Energy Seawater RO Elements
The AE HR series of proprietary thin film reverse
osmosis membrane elements are characterized by
an excellent sodium chloride rejection. AE HR series
is selected when high quality permeate is
demanded from seawater that is relatively high in
TDS.
AE HR series new membrane chemistry provides
excellent rejection characteristics when operated at
seawater operating conditions (pressures exceed-
ing 800psi (5,516kPa).

Table 2: Operating and CIP parameters
3 SDI is measured on a non-linear scale using a 0.45 micron filter paper.
Additionally, finer colloids, particulates and microorganisms that pass
through the filter paper and not measured in the SDI test, will potential-
ly foul the RO element. For performance consistency and project war-
ranty, please use Winflows projection software and consult your Filters
with Membranes representative.
