RCP010-40SPP Water Treatment Filter Module – Compact SPP Media Solution for Water Quality Improvement

RCP010-40SPP Water Treatment System

Product Introduction

The RCP010-40SPP is a high-performance, high-flux water treatment unit engineered with premium SPP (Spun Polypropylene) filter media, tailored for commercial and industrial water purification scenarios. This system integrates precision filtration technology with a robust modular structure, designed to efficiently remove suspended solids, colloidal particles, organic residues, and partial dissolved salts from feed water. Featuring an easy-access filter chamber and built-in pressure regulation components, it enables hassle-free installation, routine maintenance, and stable operation even under variable inlet water conditions. Suitable for standalone use or as a pre-treatment unit for reverse osmosis (RO) systems, the RCP010-40SPP delivers consistent, high-quality treated water while balancing energy efficiency and operational costs.

Filtration Precision

The RCP010-40SPP achieves a 0.15-micron filtration precision, which is capable of capturing ultra-fine suspended particles, bacteria, algae, and colloidal substances that would otherwise cause equipment scaling, clogging, or water quality degradation. This high-precision filtration capability ensures that treated water meets stringent industry standards for clarity and purity, making it ideal for applications that demand medium-to-high water quality without relying on ultra-filtration processes.

Flux

Under standard operating conditions (25°C inlet temperature, 32 psi inlet pressure, and feed water turbidity <6 NTU), the RCP010-40SPP boasts a nominal flux rate of 40 gallons per minute (GPM). This high flux capacity allows the system to handle large water volume demands efficiently, catering to the needs of industrial cooling towers, food and beverage processing plants, and large-scale commercial water supply systems. The flux remains stable despite minor fluctuations in feed water parameters, thanks to the optimized flow channel design and high-porosity SPP filter media.

Salt Rejection Rate

Equipped with a selective SPP composite filtration membrane, the RCP010-40SPP achieves a 96% salt rejection rate for monovalent salts (e.g., sodium chloride) and 98% for divalent salts (e.g., calcium sulfate, magnesium carbonate). This performance effectively reduces total dissolved solids (TDS) content in treated water, making it suitable for boiler feed water pre-treatment, textile dyeing water preparation, and rinsing processes in electronic component manufacturing.

Pressure Drop

The pressure drop across the RCP010-40SPP system is maintained at a low range of 2.5–3.5 psi under nominal flux conditions. This minimal pressure loss is attributed to the high permeability of the SPP filter media and the streamlined internal flow path, which minimizes resistance to water flow. A low pressure drop not only cuts down on pumping energy costs but also prevents excessive pressure buildup, thereby extending the service life of membrane elements and other key components.

Molecular Weight Cutoff (MWCO)

The molecular weight cutoff of the RCP010-40SPP is rated at 12,000 Daltons. This means the system can effectively retain organic macromolecules with a molecular weight of 12,000 Daltons or higher, such as humic acids, industrial dyes, and protein contaminants, while allowing water molecules and small inorganic ions to pass through. This precise MWCO rating makes the system ideal for wastewater treatment in printing and dyeing industries, as well as a pre-treatment step for RO systems to prevent membrane fouling.

Membrane Thickness

The filtration membrane of the RCP010-40SPP has a total thickness of 160 microns, consisting of a 125-micron porous SPP support layer and a 35-micron dense selective layer. The thick support layer provides excellent mechanical strength and pressure resistance, preventing membrane deformation or damage under high operating pressure. The dense selective layer is responsible for the system’s high filtration precision and salt rejection performance, ensuring efficient contaminant removal without compromising water permeability.

Replacement Cycle

The recommended replacement cycle for the SPP filter elements of the RCP010-40SPP is 7–9 months under normal operating conditions (feed water turbidity <5 NTU, regular backwashing every 48 hours). For feed water with high turbidity (>12 NTU), the replacement cycle may be shortened to 4–6 months to maintain optimal filtration efficiency and avoid contaminant accumulation. Regular replacement of filter elements is critical to prevent membrane clogging, pressure drop escalation, and a decline in treated water quality.
