DOW™ NF elements are used by food and dairy processors for a variety of desalting, purification, and other separations. This element contains a new nanofiltration membrane sheet designed to reject organics  with a molecular weight above 300 amu while passing monovalent salts. New NF membrane elements replace NF45 elements used by food and dairy processors for a variety of desalting, purification, and other separations. The full-fit configuration is optimal for cleaning and minimizing "dead spaces." All materials of construction are compliant with FDA indirect food contact requirements and are suitable for use in food processing applications.
