Notice: Please note that the information and recommendations provided in this technical brochure do not claim to be
universally valid; in particular, they are not meant to substitute, amend or supplement the information and/or
instructions provided by the OEM of the RO membrane system and/or the facility operator. In fact, LANXESS strongly
recommends to obtain written confirmation from the OEM of the RO system and/or the facility operator before using
the chemicals described in our technical brochure, installation of the RO elements and operation of the RO
membrane system, and to verify the advice and information provided herein in each case as to its compatibility with
the overall water treatment facility and RO membrane system.

The
relationship
between
nominal
performances (data sheet values) and actual
field results are as follows:
a) With same membrane area and at the
same nominal test conditions, a higher
nominal flow rate element will require lower
feed pressure.
b) At different test conditions and /or
different membrane area, feed pressure will
be defined by water permeability (specific
flux).
c) With the same membrane area, the
same nominal test conditions, and the same
permeate flow rate, a higher salt rejection
element will produce a permeate of lower
salinity.
