Summary

Product identification

  • Product Name: FilmTec™BW30XFRLE-400/34i Element
  • Description: Advanced membrane treatment with good water purity, improved fouling resistance, and low energy consumption, suitable for challenging waters and wastewaters.
  • Key Features:
    • Good salt rejection with 30% lower pressures.
    • Excellent silica (SiO₂), nitrate (NO₃⁻), and ammonium (NH₄⁺) rejection.
    • Most effective cleaning performance, robustness, and durability due to widest cleaning pH range (1-13) and chemical tolerance.
    • Includes iLEC™ interlocking end caps, which reduce system operating costs and the risk of o-ring leaks.
  • Product Type: Spiral-wound element with polyamide thin-film composite membrane.

Important Considerations

  • The use of this product does not necessarily guarantee the removal of cysts and pathogens from water. Effective cyst and pathogen reduction depends on the complete system design and on the operation and maintenance of the system.
