iLEC™ Interlocking Endcaps
Virtually Eliminate O-ring Leakage and Lower Your Energy Costs
Select FILMTEC™ brackish water and seawater reverse osmosis (RO) elements are now commercially available with iLEC™ interlocking endcaps, an innovative element coupling technology that significantly enhances the performance of RO systems.
Unlike sliding couplers, the decades-old connection method still used in most of today's advanced RO systems, the iLEC technology achieves a direct, leak-tight connection between adjacent element permeate tubes, reducing the number of sealing surfaces to a single, axially compressed o-ring. This patented design dramatically reduces the potential for seal leakage, enabling sustained higher quality permeate throughout the life of the elements, and reduces energy-consuming flow resistance, resulting in lower operating costs.
Please make sure you consider iLEC elements when designing a new RO system or replacing existing elements. Call your Dow representative for further assistance with evaluating the benefits of iLEC elements vs. standard elements and what iLEC elements can add to your, or your customers, system performance.

The FILMTEC BW30-400/34i element is the ultimate element for durable, high-rejection, high-productivity performance in high fouling or challenging feed conditions, enabling trouble-free operation and a low cost of water.
|
| FILMTEC LE-440i |
The FILMTEC LE-440i element is a low-energy element featuring the highest active membrane area in the industry. It enables high productivity and low energy operation, while maintaining high-rejection performance, minimizing operating expense and lowering the total cost of water for industrial and municipal applications.
|
| FILMTEC SW30XHR-400i |
FILMTEC SW30XHR-400i element is the highest rejection seawater element in the FILMTEC element range, enabling stringent water quality requirements to be met with single pass seawater systems in most situations.
|
| FILMTEC SW30HRLE-400i |
FILMTEC SW30HRLE-400i element offers very high productivity and rejection, enabling the lowest total cost of water for seawater desalination.
|
| FILMTEC SW30XLE-400i |
FILMTEC SW30XLE-400i offers an unequalled combination of productivity and rejection. This is the lowest energy seawater element available on the market, enabling lowest operation cost.
|
| FILMTEC SW30ULE-400i |
FILMTEC SW30ULE-400i is an element with one of the highest flow rates in the industry, and high rejection of NaCl and boron.
|
| FILMTEC SG30LE-440i |
FILMTEC SG30LE-440i is intended primarily for polishing use in newer UPW equipment where the benefits of lower capital cost and lower energy consumption add value.
|
| FILMTEC SG30-400/34i |
FILMTEC SG30-400/34i is intended primarily for polishing use in traditional UPW systems designed for higher pressure operation. It features a 34 mil spacer to lessen the impact of fouling and pressure drop across a vessel, increasing running time between cleaning and enhancing cleaning effectiveness.
|
| FILMTEC SW30HR-370/34i |
FILMTEC SW30HR-370/34i element is a durable, high-rejection, high-productivity seawater element for use in high fouling or challenging feedwater conditions, helping to support smooth operations and low cost of water.
