AG Series
Standard Brackish Water RO Elements
The A-Series, family of proprietary thin-film reverse
osmosis membrane elements are characterized by
high flux and high sodium chloride rejection. AG
Standard Brackish Water Elements are selected when
high rejection and operating pressures as low as 200
psi (1,379 kPa) are desired. These elements allow moderate energy savings, and are considered a standard in
the industry.

Testing conditions: 2,000 ppm NaCl solution at 225 psi (1,551 kPa) operating
pressure, 77°F (25°C), pH 7.5 and 15% recovery.

The element diameter (dimension C) is designed for optimum performance in
GE pressure vessels. Other pressure vessel dimension and tolerance may
result in excessive bypass and loss of capacity.
