Page 22: Initial Start-Up
Adjust the pump bypass valve and concentrate valve until the correct flow is achieved. For example, BT-1500 should be adjusted until it produces about 1500 GPD or 1.04 GPM of permeate (product water) at 77˚F. Design flow might be achieved below 150 PSI.

Page 34: Temperature Correction Factors For Membrane
Find the temperature correction factor (TCF) from the table below. Divide the rated permeate flow at 77°F by the temperature correction factor. The result is the permeate flow at the desired temperature. (See example on the next page) ENGF-106 REV. A 01/11 © 2011 AXEON Water Technologies...
