Operation and Maintenance Guide

  1. Increase feed pressure gradually over 30-60 seconds at start-up.
  2. Achieve the specified cross-flow velocity gradually within 15-20 seconds.
  3. Avoid sudden changes in pressure or flow to prevent membrane damage.
  4. Ensure that the membrane remains moist after the initial wetting process.
  5. Discharge permeate during the first hour of operation to ensure optimum water quality.

Important Information for Users

  • Avoid static permeate-side backpressure under all operating conditions.
  • For long-term shutdowns, store membrane elements in a suitable preservative solution to prevent biological growth.
  • The customer is responsible for ensuring the chemical compatibility of raw water and system lubricants with the membrane.

System Compatibility and Integration

DuPont™ TapTec™ LC HF-4040 is compatible with FilmTec™ design guidelines for mid-size elements and can be used in standard RO pressure vessels and brine seals. This makes it easy to integrate into both new systems and retrofit existing systems.
