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

Fact Sheet
AG HR Seri e s
High Rejection Brackish Water RO Elements
The A-Series family of proprietary thin-film reverse
osmosis membrane is characterized by high flux
and high sodium chloride rejection. AG HR brackish
water elements are selected when high rejection
and operating pressures as low as 200 psi (1,379
kPa) are desired. These elements are recommended
for brackish water with salt concentration (TDS) lev-
els between 1,000 and 10,000mg/l or when very
high salt rejection of monovalent ions is required.

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 poten-
tially foul the RO element. For performance consistency and project
warranty, please use Winflows projection software and consult your
Filters with Membranes representative.
