🏢 FilmTec BW30HRLE-440 Brackish Water RO Membrane
The FilmTec BW30HRLE-440 is a high-productivity, high-rejection brackish water reverse osmosis element designed to deliver exceptional water quality while reducing energy costs. Part of the renowned BW30 family, this 8-inch element is engineered for large-scale industrial and municipal water treatment systems. It is particularly effective for applications requiring the removal of silica, boron, and other difficult ions, making it a top choice for power generation, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and semiconductor production.
Featuring an industry-leading active membrane area of 440 square feet, the BW30HRLE-440 allows system designers to maximize permeate production within a compact footprint. The element utilizes advanced low-energy (LE) membrane technology, which enables high salt rejection at significantly lower operating pressures compared to standard brackish water membranes. Its robust construction and 34-mil feed spacer enhance fouling resistance and cleanability, ensuring a long service life and consistent performance in challenging feedwater conditions.
