SG Series
Industrial Brackish Water RO Elements
The S-Series family of proprietary thin-film reverse
osmosis membrane elements is characterized by
high sodium chloride rejection and a smooth, foul-
ing-resistant membrane surface.
SG Brackish Water Elements are used for brackish
water desalination and process stream concentra-
tion.
The SG elements feature either a patented cage or
fiberglass outer wrap and 30mil or 50mil spacer.

The element diameter (dimension C) is designed for optimum performance in GE
pressure vessels. Other pressure vessel dimension and tolerance may result in
excessive bypass and loss of capacity
