Page 5: Description
Feed water solution is separated in to two streams, permeate and concentrate, and collected from both sides of the membrane. A semipermeable RO membrane, under sufficient pressure, allows passage of purified water while rejecting and concentrating dissolved and suspended solids. E4H Series Operation & Maintenance Manual... -
Page 6: Membrane Elements
The spacer allows for movement of the concentrate past the membrane, and the permeate carrier carries the purified water out of the membrane element. GE Water & Process Technologies manufactures a patented spiral wound membrane element with a turbulent flow design. This membrane module collects the purified water within the central tube, the permeate tube. -

Page 8: Flow Description
The pump feeds water to the membrane housings arranged in parallel and serial combinations. The direction of water flow is indicated by an arrow on each housing. Water is separated by the membrane within the membranes and leaves the housings in two streams: permeate and concentrate. E4H Series Operation & Maintenance Manual... -

2. INSTALLATION 2.1. Mounting E4H Series machines are equipped with a stand-alone frame, which supports the machine. At least 45 inches (114 cm) of space should be allowed on each end of the membrane element housings for removal and loading of membrane elements. If 45 inches (114 cm) are not available, the entire membrane element housing may need to be removed for membrane element replacement. -
Page 13: Valves Required For Cip, Ecn Models Only
2.2.2. Valves Required for CIP, ECN Models Only IMPORTANT NOTE: GE has installed a plugged pipe tee in the inlet line of the E4H units. This plug, when removed, will facilitate cleaning of the unit. A tee with (two) two-way valves or a single three-way valve should also be installed on the permeate and concentrate outlets to allow flow back to the cleaning tank. -
Page 14: Dlx Electrical System
A water analysis prior to start- up of the machine is required. To minimize the chances of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, or other salt precipitation on the membrane, GE Water & Process Technologies evaluates each application and water condition and makes specific recommendations to ensure continuity of the membrane membrane warranty. -

The flow control center features a concentrate flow control valve, a recycle flow control valve, and a pressure gauge sensor point piped into the panel-mounted pressure gauge. NOTE: The autoflush valve is positioned in this flow control center.

- Page 17 See Table 1 for specified flow rates for various machine recoveries. When you have selected your desired flow rate, gradually adjust the concentrate flow control valve to achieve desired flow and use the recycle valve to bring the operating pressure up to 250 psi (17.3 bar).
