AK HR Series
High Rejection Low Energy Brackish Water RO Elements
The A-Series proprietary thin-film reverse osmosis
membrane elements are characterized by high flux
and high sodium chloride rejection. AK HR low
pressure brackish elements are selected when high
rejection and low operating pressures are desired.
These elements allow significant energy savings
since good rejection is achieved at operating pressures as low as 100 psig (689 kPa).
These elements are recommended for low brackish
water with salt concentration (TDS) levels up to
5,000mg/l. In turn, AK HR elements produce a permeate quality close to a standard brackish membrane element at a much lower pressure.
Table 1: Element Specification

Average salt rejection after 24 hours operation. Individual flow rate
may vary +25%/-15%.

Testing conditions: 500ppm NaCl solution at 115psi (793kPa) operating
pressure, 77°F (25°C), pH7.5 and 15% recovery.

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