Dow Filmtec Membrane BW30-365FR

FILMTEC™ BW30-365-FR elements have purified high biofouling feed waters since 1997. Numberous customers around the world have experienced lower operating costs by using FILMTEC fouling resistant elements due to their superior fouling resistance and cleanability. The BW30-365-FR element features:

A wider (34 mil) feed spacer than any other industrial water purification element to facilitate improved cleaning. A proprietary modification to the FT30 memebrane chemistry providing superior cleanability and resistance to fouling. FILMTEC membrane with the widest pH cleaning range in the industry (pH 1 - 13) allowing for the most effective cleaning of scaling, organic compounds, and biofilm. More but shorter membrane leaves resulting in a more efficient membrane element design reducing the overall effect of fouling. The FILMTEC BW30-365-FR element can be used for both potable and non-potable water applications.

A system designer can take advantage of this high productivity, high rejection, fouling resistant reverse osmosis (RO) element in any system design wher the potential of high biofouling is expected. In addition, existing installations that are experienceing high biofouling or frequent cleanings can be upgraded by retrofitting to the FILMTEC BW30-365-FR element. In either case FILMTEC BW30-365-FR elements can reduce the operating costs in most biofouling cases by lowering membrane fouling, reducing average system operating pressure, and extending membrane life.
