- Catalog item
- BK-C-SW-4040
- Catalog output
- 1600 GPD (6.1 m³/d)
Catalog capacities are selection references. Final output, energy use and water quality depend on the confirmed feed water, operating conditions and supplied configuration.
Configuration & selection
Review seasonal seawater salinity and temperature, boron requirements and the pressure-vessel rating. A membrane salt-rejection figure alone does not demonstrate drinking-water compliance or approve an element as a direct replacement.
Membrane specifications & test conditions
| Membrane model | SW-4040 |
|---|---|
| Active membrane area | 90 ft² (8.4 m²) |
| Feed spacer | 32 mil |
| Permeate flow at test conditions | 1600 GPD (6.1 m³/d) |
| Stabilized salt rejection | 99.8% |
| Minimum salt rejection | 99.6% |
| Test pressure | 800 psi (5.52 MPa) |
| Test solution | 32000 mg/L NaCl + 5 mg/L B (H₃BO₃) |
| Test temperature | 25 °C |
| Test pH | 7.5–8.0 |
| Test recovery | 8% |
These are single-element catalog test values, not a guaranteed system output. Compare flow and rejection only with their stated pressure, feed solution, temperature and recovery. Confirm dimensions, connections and the system projection before replacement.
Specify the operating conditions
- Feed-water source, salinity, temperature and analysis
- Required permeate flow, quality and operating hours
- Existing model, dimensions, connectors and pressure vessel
- Element quantity, array layout and delivery destination
A matching model format or similar test flow does not establish interchangeability. Confirm mechanical fit and system performance before replacement.
Applications
From selection to installation
Request a proposal with the equipment list, process arrangement, utility requirements, delivery scope and maintenance access. Agree on commissioning responsibilities, consumables and spare parts before placing an order.
