HLS High TDS Brackish

AMI Small Commercial  Reverse Osmosis Systems for High TDS Feed Water
Commercial Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment for High TDS Brackish Water up to 15,000 PPM

  • 1,400 to 6,600 Gallons/Day Reverse Osmosis Systems
  • For Feed Water TDS up to 15,000 PPM

Designed to produce low dissolved solids water from high TDS brackish well water or similar source water, these RO systems use high efficiency reverse osmosis membranes in FRP membrane housings. The product water is used in applications such as water stores, whole house, ice makers, humidification, misting and a wide variety of other applications.

HLS Series RO systems incorporate careful design steps taken to minimize the highly corrosive nature of these brackish waters. All high pressure lines and components are made of corrosion resistant materials. These BWRO systems operate at pressures between 350 and 500 psi.

These reverse osmosis systems use the proven, reliable components and are mounted on a sturdy powder-coated metal frame. There are numerous design details learned from years of experience that are incorporated in our water filtration systems. Our process and fluid design ensures an optimum membrane life and minimizes the membrane fouling.

Notes and Voltage/ Ordering Information

  • All dimensions and weights are approximate.
  • Capacity Basis: 24 hrs/day
  • Systems rated at: 77°F (25°C) using 15,000 ppm sodium chloride solution operating at approx. 350-500 psi pressure.
  • Minimum feed pressure to RO System: 40-60 PSI. System capacity changes significantly with water temperature
  • Chlorine must be removed with a carbon filter prior to the RO system, if present in feed water.
  • Pretreatment for water hardness using a softener or antiscalant injection should be added to avoid scaling the membranes.
  • Feed water turbidity: Less than 1 NTU; Feed water silt density index (SDI): 3 maximum. If exceeded, pretreatment with media filter recommended. All pretreatment equipment and SDI test kits are available from Applied Membranes.
  • Voltage: Please add our voltage codes to the end of the model number when ordering.
    Example: HLS-14A-216 = 220/230v, 1 ph, 60 hz.
  • Voltage Codes:
  • 216 = 220/230v, 1ph, 60hz
  • 236 = 220/230v, 3ph, 60hz
  • 436 =460/480v, 3ph, 60hz
