FILMTEC SW30HR LE-400i

FilmTec offers various premium seawater reverse osmosis (RO) elements designed to reduce capital and operation cost of seawater RO systems. FILMTEC™ products combine premium membrane performance with automated precision fabrication and maximize system output to unprecedented performance.

FILMTEC SW30HR LE-400i offers very high productivity and rejection, enabling the lowest total cost of water for seawater desalination.  FILMTEC SW30HR LE-400i comes with the unique iLEC™ Interlocking Endcaps that reduce system operating costs and reduce the risk of o-ring leaks that cause poor water quality.  See Form No. 609-00446 (396KB PDF) for information on the trouble-free cost-saving benefits of iLEC Interlocking Endcaps. Benefits of SW30HR LE-400i include:

  • Enables systems to be designed and operated to optimize operating cost through lower energy consumption or to optimize capital cost through higher productivity at lower operating fluxes.
  • Highest NaCl and boron rejection to help meet World Health Organization (WHO) and other drinking water standards.
  • Can effectively be used in permeate staged seawater desalination systems without impairing the performance of the downstream stage.
  • High performance over the operating lifetime without the use of oxidative post-treatments like many competitive products.  This is one reason FILMTEC elements are more durable and may be cleaned more effectively over a wider pH range (1-13) than other RO elements.
  • Automated, precision fabrication with a greater number of shorter membrane leaves reduces the effect of overall fouling and maximizes element efficiency, lowering your cost of operation.

FILMTEC SW30HR LE-400i 400 (37) 7500 (28) 99.75
1. The above values are normalized to the following conditions: 32,000 ppm NaCl, 5 ppm boron, 800 psi (5.5 MPa), 77°F (25°C), pH 8, 8% recovery.
2. Permeate flows for individual elements may vary +/-15%.
3. Product specifications may vary slightly as improvements are implemented.
4. Active area guaranteed +/-5%.  Active area as stated by FilmTec is not comparable to the nominal membrane area figure often stated by some element suppliers.  Measurement method described in Form No. 609-00434 (4223KB PDF).

5. Stabilized Boron Rejection - 91%.
