Ultrapure water system upgrade for electronics factory
Problem: The original RO membrane has an insufficient desalination rate (≤98%), causing the TOC (total organic carbon) in the chip cleaning water to exceed the standard, affecting the yield rate.
Solution:
Replaced with ink-blue 8040 RO membrane (99.5% desalination rate)
The system is matched with an 8-inch pressure vessel, and 6 membrane elements are configured in parallel
Results:
✅ The TOC of produced water is stable <5ppb, meeting the SEMI F63 ultrapure water standard
✅ The system operating pressure is reduced by 15%, saving about 120,000 kWh of electricity per year
✅ The membrane life is up to 36 months (the original membrane is only 24 months)
Municipal water plant surface water desalination project
Problem: The salinity of the water source fluctuates seasonally (up to 800 ppm), and the water production of traditional membranes is unstable.
Solution:
Use ink-blue Membrane 8040 low-pressure membrane (test conditions: 150psi, 25℃)
Single membrane produces 39.7m³/d of water, and the system is equipped with 72 membranes
Results:
✅ Desalination rate is stable ≥99.5%, and the outlet TDS is less than 50ppm
✅ Energy consumption is reduced by 20% compared with the old system (power consumption per ton of water is reduced to 1.8 kWh)
✅ Only 3 membranes were replaced within two years (failure rate <0.5%)
FAQ
Can the 8040 membrane be used for seawater desalination?
A: Conventional 8040 membranes are suitable for brackish water (TDS < 10,000 ppm); true seawater desalination requires a dedicated SW series high-pressure membrane
How to expand the capacity if the water output of a single 8040 membrane is insufficient?
A: Connect multiple membranes in parallel (e.g., 8 8040 membranes ≈ 8 tons/hour), and match the number of high-pressure pumps and membrane housings.
What industrial scenarios are suitable for 8040 membrane?
High-purity water demand areas: chip cleaning in electronics factories (TOC < 5ppb required), pharmaceutical ultrapure water 5 8
Large-scale water treatment systems: municipal water supply (daily output ≥ 1,000 tons), seawater desalination pretreatment 2 4
Industrial wastewater reuse: boiler feed water for chemical/power plants, water for food and beverage production
What are the price ranges of 8040 RO membranes?
The price range of Chinese brand 8040 RO membrane is $280-320/piece.
