Introduction
This Application Guide, together with the Installation Guide and the Operation and Maintenance
Guide, outlines the general conditions for safe use of CodeLine End-ported pressure vessels.
Because of the considerable risk inherent in high pressure vessels, it is the purchaser's
responsibility to carefully evaluate each specified application to ensure that the CodeLine
ported vessel selected is appropriate to that application.
Pentair will assist the purchaser in determining the suitability of the standard vessel for their
specific operating conditions. For non-standard applications, alternate materials are available on
special order. The final determination, however, including evaluation of the standard materials of
construction for compatibility with the specific environment, is the responsibility of the purchaser.
CodeLine 80E Series membrane housings are designed for continuous long-term use as
housings for reverse osmosis, nano-filtration, ultra-filtration and micro-filtration membrane
elements. Models are available for 300, 450, 600, 1000 & 1200 psi. Any make of eight-inch
nominal diameter spiral wound element is easily accommodated.
In a high pressure system there is considerable potential for catastrophic failure, which could
result in serious injury or loss of life. All decisions as to suitability for use must include full
consideration of the various safety aspects involved. These include, but are not limited to:
•
Process fluid compatibility (e.g. chemical and temperature consideration).
•
External environmental factors (e.g. corrosive atmosphere, remote or special
environment where certain material might be undesirable, etc.).
•
Abnormal back pressure which might result in pressurizing permeate port above the
rated pressure (alternate materials are available).
•
Capability of the user to maintain vessel properly.
•
Requirement for increased fire resistance in some circumstances.
Use of CodeLine 80E model pressure vessel for other than its intended application will void the
warranty.
