• Offers exceptional permeate quality
• Delivers excellent silica, boron, nitrate, TOC, and ammonium rejection
• Excellent durability resulting in stable, long-term performance

Key Applications:

• Demineralization for industrial applications, such as Power Generation, Steel & Metal, Chemical & Petrochemical
• Municipal water purification
• Applications requiring stringent permeate quality
• Cost-efficient solution for seawater 2nd pass

Performance

Typical properties for the FilmTec™BW30XHR PRO-440 element:

• Active Area: 440 ft² (41 m²)
• Feed Spacer Thickness: 28 mil
• Permeate Flow Rate: 12,650 gpd (48 m³/d)
• Stabilized Salt Rejection: 99.8%
• Minimum Salt Rejection: 99.6%

Note: Permeate flow and salt rejection are based on standard conditions: 2,000 ppm NaCl, 225 psi (15.5 bar), 77°F (25°C), pH 8, and 15% recovery. Flow rates for individual elements may vary but will be no more than 15% below the value shown.

Operating limits

• Maximum Operating Temperature: 113°F (45°C)
  • Note: Maximum temperature for continuous operation above pH 10 is 95°F (35°C).
• Maximum Operating Pressure: 600 psig (41 bar)
• pH Range:
  • Continuous Operation: 2 - 11
  • Short-Term Cleaning (30 min.): 1 - 13

Feed water

• Maximum Feed Flow: 75 gpm (17 m³/hr)
• Maximum Feed Silt Density Index: SDI 5
• Free Chlorine Tolerance: < 0.1 ppm
  • Note: Oxidation damage is not covered under warranty; removal of residual free chlorine by pretreatment is recommended.

Mechanical / hydraulic

Element Dimensions (inches (mm)):

• A: 40.0 (1,016)
• B: 1.125 ID (29)
• C: 7.9 (201)

Maximum Pressure Drop:

• Per Element: 15 psig (1.0 bar)
• Per Pressure Vessel (Minimum 4 Elements): 50 psig (3.5 bar)

General Information

• Elements must be kept moist at all times after initial wetting.
• To prevent biological growth during prolonged system shutdowns, it is recommended that membrane elements be immersed in a preservative solution.
• Avoid static permeate-side backpressure at all times.
• Permeate obtained from the first hour of operation should be discarded.
• The use of this product in and of itself does not necessarily guarantee the removal of cysts and pathogens from water. Effective cyst and pathogen reduction is dependent on the complete system design and on the operation and maintenance of the system.
• Good operating practices are essential for optimal performance and to assure damage-free operation.

Regulatory Note

This product may be subject to drinking water application restrictions in some countries; please check the application status before use and sale.
