FILMTEC SW30-380

The FILMTEC™ SW30-380 is a high productivity seawater reverse osmosis element that offers the lowest energy consumption in the industry for optimal economics in two-pass seawater desalination systems. In addition, this element is well suited for high salinity brackish water applications.

  • The high flow and high rejection of membrane used in the SW30-380 helps reduce energy costs in the first pass of two-pass seawater systems.
  • FILMTEC SW30-380 offers superior economics for desalinating cold water feeds (< 20°C).
  • FILMTEC SW30-380 elements deliver high performance without the use of oxidative treatments which is one reason why FILMTEC elements are more durable and may be cleaned more effectively over a wider pH range than other RO elements.
