Product Data Sheet
FilmTec™ BW30-400/34i Element
Description Ideal for: reverse osmosis plant managers and operators dealing with
challenging waters and wastewaters and looking for consistency, high
performance, long element life, increased productivity and low fouling
features.
Offering proven performance, FilmTec™ BW30-400/34i:

l Delivers high quality permeate water while minimizing CAPEX
l Offers highly effective cleaning performance, robustness and
durability due to its widest cleaning pH range (1 – 13) tolerance

and the support of FilmTec™ technical representatives
l Includes iLEC™ interlocking end caps, reducing system operating costs and
the risk of o-ring leaks that can cause poor water quality
Product Type Spiral-wound element with polyamide thin-film composite membrane
Typical Properties

BW30-400/34i 400 37 34 10,500 40 99.5 99.0
1. Permeate flow and salt (NaCl) rejection based on the following standard test conditions: 2,000 ppm NaCl,
225 psi (15.5 bar), 77°F (25°C), pH 8, 15% recovery.
2. Flow rates for individual elements may vary but will be no more than 15% below the value shown.
3. Stabilized salt rejection is generally achieved within 24-48 hours of continuous use; depending upon
feedwater characteristics and operating conditions.
4. Sales specifications may vary as design revisions take place.
5. Active area guaranteed ± 3%. Active area as stated by DuPont Water Solutions is not comparable to nominal
membrane area often stated by some manufacturers.
