FILMTEC BW30FR-400 Membrane Elements

BW30FR-400

Element Features
  • High active area (400 square feet) for more productivity without increasing the operating flux.
  • High rejection DOW FILMTEC RO membrane that has one of the widest pH cleaning ranges in the industry (pH 1-13) that allows for effective cleaning of scale, organic compounds and biofilm.
  • Automated, precision fabrication with a greater number of shorter membrane leaves, reduces the overall effect of fouling and maximizes membrane efficiency.
