At Purecowater, we understand that efficient water treatment requires reliable, high-performance components. As a distributor for top-tier brands like Veolia (formerly GE Water/Suez), we are proud to offer the Veolia AG8040F series of reverse osmosis membranes. These elements are the industry standard for brackish water desalination, offering an exceptional balance of high salt rejection and energy efficiency.
What are Veolia AG8040F Membranes?
The Veolia AG Series refers to a family of proprietary thin-film reverse osmosis (RO) membrane elements designed specifically for brackish water applications. The “AG” designation stands for Standard Low Energy Brackish Water. These membranes are engineered to provide high flux (water production) and excellent sodium chloride (NaCl) rejection at relatively low operating pressures.
The AG8040F specifically denotes the 8-inch diameter, 40-inch length form factor, which is the standard size for most industrial and commercial heavy-duty RO systems. They feature a fiberglass outer wrap, ensuring durability and structural integrity under pressure [filters.com].
Key Benefits
- High Rejection: The AG series typically achieves an average NaCl rejection of 99.5%, ensuring high-quality permeate water suitable for critical industrial processes [filters.com].
- Energy Savings: These membranes operate efficiently at pressures as low as 200 psi (1,379 kPa), allowing for significant energy reduction compared to standard high-pressure elements [hipco.com].
- Durability: Constructed with a fiberglass outer wrap, the AG8040F elements are built to withstand the rigorous demands of continuous industrial operation.
Models: AG8040F vs. AG8040F-400
While often referred to simply as the “AG8040F,” there are distinctive variations in this product line to suit different capacity needs. Purecowater can help you determine which specification fits your existing housing and production requirements.
Veolia AG8040F (Part #3032515)
This is the standard model in the series. It features a membrane active area of approximately 365 square feet.
- Average Permeate Flow: 10,000 Gallons Per Day (GPD)
- Active Area: 365 ft²
- Rejection: 99.5%
It is an excellent choice for systems designed around standard flux rates and moderate fouling potential [filters.com].
Veolia AG8040F-400 (Part #3032518)
The “400” suffix indicates an increased active membrane area of 400 square feet. By maximizing the internal surface area, this element offers higher total daily production without increasing the physical footprint of the equipment.
- Average Permeate Flow: 11,000 Gallons Per Day (GPD)
- Active Area: 400 ft²
- Rejection: 99.5%
The AG8040F-400 is ideal for upgrading existing systems to increase capacity or for new designs where minimizing the number of pressure vessels is desired [filters.com].
Who is this Product For?
The Veolia AG8040F family is designed for industrial and commercial users dealing with brackish water sources (water with higher salinity than fresh water but less than seawater). Common applications include:
- Boiler Feed Water: Reducing scale-forming minerals and dissolved solids to protect boiler tubes.
- Manufacturing Process Water: Providing consistent, high-purity water for electronics, food and beverage, or chemical production.
- Municipal Water Treatment: Desalination of groundwater for potable use.
- Light Industrial Systems: Car washes, hydroponics, and spot-free rinse systems.
