Applied Membranes M-T Series Commercial Reverse Osmosis Systems

Applied Membranes Advantage Series (M & T) Commercial Reverse Osmosis Systems

For commercial and light industrial applications requiring a reliable, compact, and fully engaged water purification solution, the Applied Membranes Advantage Series (M & T) Reverse Osmosis Systems stand out as a premier choice. Designed to produce low dissolved solids water from tap or well sources, these systems are engineered for efficiency, ease of use, and durability.

At Purecowater, we understand that selecting the right filtration equipment is critical for your operational success. This overview breaks down the specifications, features, and distinct advantages of the M and T Series units to help you determine the best fit for your facility.

What is the Advantage Series (M & T)?

The Applied Membranes Advantage Series is a line of packaged Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems that are “ready to run” right out of the box. Unlike larger industrial skids that may require extensive onsite assembly, the M and T Series units are mounted on a sturdy, powder-coated metal frame and come pre-plumbed with essential pre-treatment built-in.

These systems specifically target the “middle ground” of water usage—bridging the gap between small residential under-sink units and massive industrial plants. They are divided into two main categories based on capacity and membrane size:

• Reference T-Series: Uses 2.5” diameter membrane elements (600 to 1,700 GPD).
• Reference M-Series: Uses 4” diameter membrane elements (2,000 to 10,000 GPD).

Key Features and Construction

The M and T Series are favored for their robust construction and comprehensive feature set. Key standard equipment includes:

• Integrated Pre-Filtration: Includes 5-micron sediment filters and Big Blue carbon block filters to remove chlorine and particulates before they reach the membrane, extending membrane life.
• High-Efficiency Membranes: Utilizes Thin Film Composite (TFC) Low Energy membranes housed in stainless steel pressure vessels.
• Automation: Equipped with a microprocessor controller that manages operation, including delayed start-up, low-pressure shut-down, and automatic tank level controls.
• Instrumentation: Panel-mounted flow meters (Permeate, Concentrate, Recycle) and pressure gauges allow for instant performance monitoring.
• Durability: Heavy-duty powder-coated carbon steel frames minimize vibration and resist corrosion.

Product Specifications: T-Series

The T-Series is ideal for smaller commercial applications such as laboratories, small manufacturing, or whole-house filtration where space is at a premium.

Model	Capacity (GPD)	Membrane Size	System Dimensions (LxWxH)	Approx. Weight
T-125A	600 GPD	2.5” x 40” (Qty 1)	23” x 24” x 55”	95 lbs
T-225A	1,200 GPD	2.5” x 40” (Qty 2)	23” x 24” x 55”	105 lbs
T-325A	1,700 GPD	2.5” x 40” (Qty 3)	23” x 24” x 55”	115 lbs

Product Specifications: M-Series

The M-Series steps up the capacity significantly using 4-inch membrane elements. These are the workhorses for commercial water stores, car washes, and larger bottling operations.

Model	Capacity (GPD)	Membrane Qty	Inlet / Permeate Connection	Approx. Weight
M-14A	2,000 GPD	1	3/4″ / 1/2″	220 lbs
M-24A	4,000 GPD	2	3/4″ / 1/2″	235 lbs
M-34A	5,800 GPD	3	3/4″ / 1/2″	250 lbs
M-44A	7,500 GPD	4	3/4″ / 1/2″	265 lbs
M-54A	9,000 GPD	5	3/4″ / 1/2″	280 lbs
M-64A	10,000 GPD	6	3/4″ / 1/2″	295 lbs

Note: System capacity is based on 77°F feed water and 1000 ppm NaCl solution at 200 psi. Actual production may vary depending on local water chemistry and temperature.

Common Applications

The versatility of the M & T Series makes them suitable for a wide range of industries. Common use cases include:

• Spot-Free Rinse: Essential for car washes and window cleaning services to prevent mineral spotting.
• Water Stores & Bottling: Providing high-purity base water for commercial beverage production.
• Whole House Filtration: For large estates or homes on difficult well water.
• Agriculture & Misting: Protecting nozzles from clogging and ensuring plant health.
• Laboratories: Feed water for Type I or Type II ultra-pure water systems.
• Food & Beverage: Ingredient water for breweries, distilleries, and food processing.

Controller Capabilities

One of the defining features of the Advantage Series is the integrated Computer Controller. This smart system monitors inlet pressure, tank levels, and feed water quality. It protects the pump by shutting down if inlet pressure drops too low and automatically flushes the membrane at shutdown to prevent fouling, significantly reducing maintenance requirements.
