Filmtec SW30XLE-400i offers an unequalled combination of productivity and rejection. This is the lowest energy seawater element available on the market, enabling lowest operation cost. It is also ideal for two-pass seawater designs and high TDS brackish water applications.

Features:
Filmtec SW30XLE-400i comes with the unique iLEC Interlocking Endcaps that reduce system operating costs and reduce the risk of o-ring leaks that cause poor water quality. Benefits of SW30XLE-400i include:

• Highest productivity available, with active area of 400 sq. ft., enables systems to be designed to deliver the lowest total cost of water by optimizing energy consumption, system productivity and operating flux.
• Can effectively be used in permeate staged seawater desalination systems without impairing the performance of the downstream stage.
• Delivers high performance over the operating lifetime without the use of oxidative post-treatments like many competitive products. This is one reason Filmtec elements are more durable and may be cleaned more effectively over a wider pH range (1-13) than other RO elements.
• Automated, precision fabrication with a greater number of shorter membrane leaves reduces the effect of overall fouling and maximizes element efficiency, lowering your cost of operation.

Specifications:

*The above benchmark values are based on the following test conditions: 32,000 ppm NaCl, 800 psi (5.5 MPa), 77°F (25°C), pH 8 and 8% recovery. Permeate flows for individual elements may vary +/-15%.

**Under certain conditions, the presence of free chlorine and other oxidizing agents will cause premature membrane failure. Since oxidation damage is not covered under warranty, Dow recommends removing residual free chlorine by pretreatment prior to membrane exposure. Most RO systems have carbon pre-filters for this purpose.

***Maximum temperature for continuous operation above pH 10 is 95F (35C).
Note: Active surface area guaranteed +/-5%. Active area as stated by FilmTec is not comparable to nominal membrane area often stated by some manufacturers.


Dimensions:

Element fits nominal 8-inch (203 mm) I.D. pressure vessel. Individual iLEC elements measure 40.5 inches (1,029 mm) in length (B). The net length (A) of iLEC elements when connected is 40 inches (1,016 mm).
