Description
Dow® Filmtec™ BW30-2540 brackish water reverse osmosis membranes provide consistent, outstanding system performance in light industrial applications. Filmtec BW30-2540 elements are designed for systems smaller than 1 gpm (0.2 m3/h) offering a hard shell exterior for extra strength. Elements with a hard shell exterior are recommended for systems with multiple-element housings containing three or more membranes, as they are designed to withstand higher pressure drops.
