Description
Dow® Filmtec™ BW30-4040 brackish water reverse osmosis membranes provide consistent, outstanding system performance in light industrial applications. Filmtec BW30-4040 elements are the industry standard for reliable operation and production of the highest quality water. With the thickest feed spacer (34 mil) available to lessen the impact of fouling, these membranes may be cleaned over a wide pH range (pH 1-13) for the most effective cleaning. 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. No interconnector included.
