RO Membrane 80 GPD Works Upto
- Material Composition: The reverse osmosis membrane is typically composed of a thin film composite (TFC) membrane. This membrane consists of multiple layers including a porous support layer and an active thin film layer made of a semi-permeable material such as polyamide or cellulose acetate
- Pore Size: The pore size of the membrane is extremely small, typically in the range of 0.0001 to 0.001 microns. This allows it to effectively block the passage of dissolved solids, ions, and larger contaminants while allowing water molecules to pass through
- Operating Pressure: The typical operating pressure for an 80 GPD reverse osmosis membrane is around 40 to 80 psi (pounds per square inch). This pressure is necessary to force water through the membrane, separating it from contaminants and producing purified water
- Water Permeability: The water permeability of the membrane determines its ability to allow water molecules to pass through while blocking contaminants. For an 80 GPD membrane, the permeate flow rate would be approximately 80 gallons per day, assuming optimal operating conditions
