Product Introduction

As a professional manufacturer providing full-range industrial water treatment solutions centered on Liquid Filters, we deliver standardized test reports and complete supporting documents for all types of filtration components used in commercial and municipal water purification. The TMG20-400, a classic 8040-size standard rejection RO membrane from Toray, comes with a full set of official RO membrane test report covering core technical indicators including salt rejection rate and permeate flow rate, offering reliable data support for engineering design, equipment debugging and factory acceptance inspection.

Classified as a general-purpose brackish water RO membrane in the product specification sheet, TMG20-400 features balanced overall performance and wide adaptability for municipal tap water and shallow underground groundwater treatment. Every finished membrane element will go through strict offline sampling testing before delivery, and the complete test records are compiled into a formal RO membrane test report. Unlike special low-pressure or high-rejection membranes with narrow applicable scenarios, this universal spiral wound RO membrane has unified test standards, stable batch consistency, and its salt rejection and flow rate data have small fluctuation ranges, which is favored by water treatment engineers and project purchasers. Adopting a standard 400 sq. ft membrane area design, this RO membrane element is compatible with all mainstream 8-inch pressure vessels on the market, and all test data can be used as the basis for equipment parameter matching and post-operation performance comparison.

Working Principle Behind Test Indicators

The two core test items highlighted in the TMG20-400 RO membrane test report — salt rejection and flow rate — are determined by its optimized polyamide thin-film composite separation structure. As a mature balanced-performance reverse osmosis membrane, it realizes dual stable performance of consistent water yield and effective ion interception through uniform hydrophilic membrane surface and moderate-resistance internal flow spacers.

Under standard test pressure, pure water molecules quickly pass through the dense separation layer to form stable permeate flow, while calcium, magnesium, sodium and other dissolved salt ions are trapped on the raw water side and discharged with concentrated water. The uniform surface charge avoids severe concentration polarization, which effectively prevents the continuous decline of flow rate and salt rejection during long-term operation. Compared with ordinary low-cost industrial RO membrane, the streamlined 34mil feed channel reduces local pollutant accumulation, so the test data of new membranes and aged membranes after cleaning have smaller gaps, forming repeatable and credible data in the inspection report. Its basic hydrophilic modification also endows it with mild anti-fouling RO membrane characteristics, further ensuring the stability of salt rejection and flow rate test results under simulated long-cycle operation conditions.

Product Advantages Reflected in Test Report Data

Multiple prominent strengths of TMG20-400 can be fully verified through the standardized data recorded in its official RO membrane test report. First of all, the salt rejection test data of all production batches maintains an extremely narrow fluctuation range, stably locked between 99.2% and 99.5%, with almost no large performance gap between different batches, which effectively eliminates hidden troubles of unstable outlet water quality caused by inconsistent membrane element quality in water treatment projects. Meanwhile, the standardized production process ensures highly repeatable permeate flow rate test results; in continuous cyclic simulation tests attached to the report, the water yield only slightly drops in the early fouling stage and can be fully restored after conventional acid and alkali cleaning, effectively solving the problem of insufficient water supply in long-running commercial water equipment. In addition, the complete test report covers all technical parameters required for engineering bidding and factory inspection, including salt rejection rate, flow rate, pressure loss and temperature tolerance, allowing customers to directly submit official test documents for project filing, third-party inspection and equipment acceptance without additional re-testing expenses. The accelerated fouling simulation test data further proves that the smooth hydrophilic membrane surface and standard flow channel greatly slow down the adhesion of organic matter and colloids, so the attenuation speed of salt rejection and flow rate is much lower than ordinary brackish water membranes, extending the maintenance cycle and the overall RO membrane lifespan. Benefiting from the universal 8040 size design, this mainstream RO membrane element shares unified testing and system matching standards with all 8-inch pressure vessels on the market, and after replacing old membrane elements on existing equipment, the salt rejection and flow rate indicators can rapidly reach the standard range recorded in the test report without complex adjustment of system operation parameters.

Application Fields

With complete and credible data recorded in the TMG20-400 RO membrane test report, this standard rejection membrane is widely applied in various commercial and municipal water treatment scenarios that require formal performance inspection documents. It serves as the core filter element for community water vending stations, where stable salt rejection and flow rate test data guarantee continuous and qualified drinking water supply for residents all year round. Hotels, campuses and office buildings equipped with centralized pure water supply systems rely on its standardized test indicators to maintain stable daily water output and consistent water quality, reducing frequent equipment parameter debugging work for management personnel. Small food, coffee and bakery production workshops adopt this membrane to produce purified process water, and the complete test report can be submitted for food hygiene inspection and factory audit. In suburban shallow groundwater purification and municipal tap water deep treatment projects, engineering designers refer to its salt rejection and flow rate test data to accurately calculate system pump power, membrane quantity and water production efficiency, optimizing the overall design scheme while meeting environmental protection and drinking water safety standards.
