The SpiroPure SP-FR8040 is an 8-inch × 40-inch fouling-resistant reverse osmosis membrane for compatible commercial and industrial water treatment systems. SP-FR4040 has a 34 mil feed spacer and a high surface hydrophilicity, allowing for less membrane fouling than filters with a 28 mil feed spacer. Please confirm the membrane dimensions, feedwater requirements, and system compatibility before ordering.
SP-FR8040 is certified 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.

FAQs on 8040 Industrial RO Membrane
What is an 8040 fouling resistant membrane?
An 8040 fouling-resistant membrane is a nominal 8” × 40” reverse osmosis element designed for applications where fouling is a concern. The SpiroPure SP-FR8040 has a 34 mil feed spacer that helps it resist scaling and fouling from suspended solids better than similar membranes with a smaller feed spacer. Please note that fouling resistance does not make it foul-proof or establish absolute resistance to scaling.
What is the SP-FR8040 membrane used for?
The SP-FR8040 is used in compatible commercial and industrial RO systems. Some examples of low-fouling applications may include chemical plant wastewater, surface water, industrial water, reclaimed-water systems, mining wastewater, and other fouling-prone treatment needs. Please note that compatibility for your specific needs does depend upon factors like feed water analysis, pretreatment, and system design.
What are the main specifications of the FR8040 RO membrane?
The SpiroPure SP-FR8040 delivers an average permeate flow of 10,500 GPD ±15% at 225 PSI, with 99.5% stabilized salt rejection and a 15% fresh water recovery rate tested with 2,000 ppm NaCl feedwater. It uses a 34 mm feed spacer and is rated for feedwater up to 10,000 ppm NaCl.
Is the SP-FR8040 compatible with other 8040 RO membrane models?
The SpiroPure SP-FR8040 is manufactured as a compatible replacement for the Dupont Filmtec BW30FR-400/34, GE SUEZ AG8040F-400FR,34, Hydranautics Nitto LFC3-LD, and LG Chem LG BW 400 R G2, sized at 8" x 40" and with fouling-resistant specifications. Please check the model number, dimensions, and other system requirements before ordering.
Can the SP-FR8040 be used for industrial wastewater treatment?
Yes. The SP-FR8040's wider feed spacer and high surface hydrophilicity are engineered for applications like industrial wastewater treatment, including chemical plants, mining wastewater, and municipal reclaimed water, where fouling potential is higher than typical municipal or well water sources. Please note that specific compatibility for your needs can vary depending upon feedwater quality, pretreatment, and system requirements. Additional control of scaling, fouling, and other feedwater risks may still be needed.
