PFO-20 PERFORMANCE
Performance of the Porifera PFO20 with 5.8 wt% NaCl Draw and
Dechlorinated Water Feed (FO Mode):
Membrane flux (left axis) and headloss
(right axis) are plotted as a function
of draw and feed flow rate (Q). Flux
is corrected for salinity difference and
temperature to 25˚C
PFO-20 CONFIGURATIONS
Single Element Configuration (1 m²)
Designed for laboratory studies
»» Used as a stand-alone element
»» Element features 1/2” NPT that can be adapted to fitting of
your choice
