The SpiroPure SP-FR8040 is an 8-inch × 40-inch fouling-resistant reverse osmosis membrane for compatible commercial and industrial water treatment systems. Its published flow rating is 10,500 GPD ±15% at 225 PSI, tested with 2,000 ppm NaCl feedwater at 15% recovery. It has a 34 mil feed spacer. Confirm membrane dimensions, feedwater requirements, and system compatibility before ordering.
SP-FR8040 is certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 for use exclusively in public water treatment facilities producing at least 9,000 gallons of permeate daily. The listing requires a pre-service flush with deionized water at 12 L/min for two hours. Certification addresses health effects, not salt-rejection performance.
This describes the scope of certification; it does not mean every use outside that scope is prohibited. Do not present NSF certification as proof of overall performance or suitability for every application.

FAQs on 8040 Industrial RO Membrane
What is an 8040 fouling resistant membrane?
An 8040 fouling-resistant membrane is a nominal 8-inch × 40-inch reverse osmosis element designed for applications where fouling is a concern. The SpiroPure SP-FR8040 has a 34 mil feed spacer. Fouling resistance does not make it fouling-proof or establish resistance to mineral scaling.
What is the SP-FR8040 membrane used for?
The SP-FR8040 is used in compatible commercial and industrial RO systems. Potential applications include surface-water treatment and selected wastewater or reclaimed-water systems, subject to feedwater analysis, suitable pretreatment, and system design.
What are the main specifications of the FR8040 RO membrane?
Published specifications include 99.5% salt rejection, a 34 mil feed spacer, and average permeate flow of 10,500 GPD ±15% at 225 PSI, tested with 2,000 ppm NaCl feedwater at 15% recovery. Maximum recommended feedwater NaCl is below 10,000 ppm; maximum operating pressure is 600 PSI. Actual performance depends on operating conditions.
Is the SP-FR8040 compatible with other 8040 RO membrane models?
The SP-FR8040 is offered as a compatible alternative for the verified models listed in the compatibility section above. Check the exact model number, dimensions, pressure vessel, and system requirements before ordering. Matching nominal size alone does not establish compatibility or equal performance.
Can the SP-FR8040 be used for industrial wastewater treatment?
It may be suitable for selected industrial wastewater applications when feedwater quality, pretreatment, and operating conditions meet the membrane and system requirements. Have a water-treatment specialist assess the application. Fouling resistance does not remove the need to control scaling, fouling, and other feedwater risks.
How much does the SpiroPure SP-FR8040 cost?
