Membrane Output Calculation Example
What is the expected GPD from a 75 GPD System at 40 psi pressure and 60°F water temperature?
PCF = 40 ÷ 60 = 0.666 TCF = 0.754 (from Table 1)
Expected GPD = 75 × 0.666 × 0.754 = 37.7 GPD ± 15%
37.7 GPD would be the Actual Production Rate
Performance Test
The performance of a RO membrane is measured by its ability to reject salts (or TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)).
Important: Test the quality of the membrane once every 6 months.
Note: This procedure will require a Conductivity Meter
Procedure:
1.Measure tap water conductivity. (Call it X)
2.Run the system for
3.Rinse test instrument cell
4.Measure RO water conductivity directly from the blue product water line. (Call it Y).
5.Subtract RO water conductivity from tap water conductivity. (X - Y)
6.Divide this quantity by tap water conductivity. (X - Y) ÷ X
7.Rejection = [(X - Y) ÷ X ] ×100
*Conductivity in the above procedure could be replaced by hardness, alkalinity, nitrate, phosphate, silica etc. (measured in ppm or mg/l).
Rejection of the RO Membrane Calculation Example
1.Tap water hardness = 150 ppm (X)
2.RO water hardness = 7 ppm (Y)
3.X - Y = 143 ppm
4.(X - Y) ÷ X = 143 ÷ 150 = 0.953
5.Rejection = [ ( X - Y) ÷ X ] ×100 = 0.953 ×100 = 95.3
Membrane Hardness Rejection = 95.3 % : Rejection rates less than 95% may indicate that the membrane should be replaced.
