Description
Dow® Filmtec™ BW30-365 elements are the elements of choice for system designers, OEMs, and system operators requiring consistently high performance and maximum element life when treating difficult feed waters. This element offers proven performance, high rejection, and outstanding robustness and durability across a wide range of feed conditions where unit price is a key driver. These elements feature the industry’s thickest feed spacer (34 mil) to lessen the impact of fouling. The BW30-365 is best suited for systems operating on challenging feed streams, where reliable pretreatment is not an option, or where maximum cleanability delivers value.
