FILMTEC™ Seawater Reverse Osmosis Elements

"If we could ever competitively, at a cheap rate, get fresh water from saltwater,…(this) would be in the long range interests of humanity which could really dwarf any other scientific accomplishments." John F. Kennedy, September 22, 1961

FilmTec is helping enable this vision with new products, technology and strategies for lowering the cost of desalinated water. Today FilmTec makes available the new FILMTEC™ SW30XLE-400i element, a reverse osmosis (RO) element with the lowest energy requirement in the industry to deliver the lowest total cost of water across a wide range of seawater desalination applications. In addition, our new FILMTEC SW30HR LE-400i element can reduce your desalination costs by as much as 20%, depending on whether you are seeking lower pressure, higher productivity or a system with fewer elements.

Both of these products also feature the new iLEC™ interlocking endcaps, an innovative element coupling technology that further reduces system costs and minimizes the risk of o-ring leaks that lead to degraded water quality.
