Description
Dow® Filmtec™ Filmtec SW30-4040 membrane elements have the highest flow rates available to meet the water demands of both sea-based and land-based desalinators. Filmtec SW30 elements may also be operated at lower pressure to reduce pump size, cost, and operating expenses. Improved Filmtec seawater membranes, combined with automated, precision element fabrication, result in the most consistent product performance available while maintaining excellent salt rejection. Filmtec’s superior automated manufacturing technology results in the most consistent performance element-to-element and year-after-year.
