Description

The LB 4000F is an analog desalination unit that is built using the patented Spectra Pearson Pump which allows for energy efficiencies comparable to large scale industrial desalination plants. The LB 4000F is a turnkey solution producing 180 gallons/hour (1260 liters/hour) of fresh potable water from fresh or up to 25,000 ppm salinity brackish water sources.These units are available with an optional custom built pc board controller for fully automated operation. The LB 4000F systems are completely integrated into a stainless steel frame and factory tested to rigid performance specification.The Pearson Pump is a breakthrough in pump design, combining a high-pressure piston pump with built-in energy recovery. The energy normally wasted in the high-pressure brine stream is recovered, saving up to 75% of the power required for a standard reverse osmosis system. The Pearson Pumps hydraulically locked recovery rate allows the system to produce the full rated volume of water from virtually any water source, without the user making any changes to the system. Standard systems require operator adjustments as the pressure changes, but our fixed recovery rate system eliminates the need for operator input and prevents membrane damage.The LB 4000F is contained within a rugged 304 powder coated stainless steel frame, pre-plumbed and tested with all components. It includes is a built-in permeate flush tank which doubles as a clean in place tank by simply turning the service valves. All landbased systems need a low pressure feed pump (not included) based on your site specific requirements. Depending on the quality of the feed water available on your site media filters may be also be required to allow the prefilters to last for a reasonable amount of time.

Quick Facts

• Optimized for use with Brackish water (Total Dissoved Solids under 24,000 PPM)
• Spectra Connect Controller for automated operation and LAN enabled remote monitoring and control
• Energy-efficient, requiring typically less than 1200 watts to purify seawater
• Soft-start speed control, no start-up spike
• Rugged, powder coated 304 stainless steel frame
• Fixed freshwater recovery ratio for easy operation, optimized for long RO membrane life
• Can be powered by wind or solar power
• Significantly quieter than conventional RO watermakers
• Patented energy recovery design and automated controls eliminate the need for constant monitoring by an operator.
• Membranes are protected from overpressure and scaling by design and can last 8-10 years or more with proper maintenance
