Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes for seawater.
FILMTEC™ seawater membranes are composed of spiral wound polyamide thin film that are resistant to biofouling (biological contamination). They are constructed with automated technology equipment superior to that used in the market, resulting in a level of precision that is impossible to achieve with manually wound elements. Benefits of Filmtec seawater membranes:
- FILMTEC ™ fouling resistant elements low pressure reduction in the permeate flow, producing higher efficiency, more uniform net driving pressure and more even distribution of the permeate flow.
- FILMTEC™ dirt-resistant elements are very durable and can be cleaned to pH 12. They are also highly resistant to bacteria. These features extend the time between cleanings and reduce cleaning costs.

Industrial reverse osmosis (RO) membranes.
FilmTec™ RO are spiral wound, thin film composite polyamide membranes. Generally, a spiral wound configuration means lower replacement costs, simpler plumbing systems, easier maintenance and greater design freedom than other configurations such as tubular, plate and frame and hollow fiber module designs. Filmtec uses the most advanced automated technology in the industry in the manufacture of reverse osmosis (RO) elements, resulting in maximum uniformity and minimizing differences between elements. Rigorous and extensive quality testing ensures that FilmTec ™ elements meet a high manufacturing standard. FilmTec membrane models for reverse osmosis:

Nanofiltration (NF) reverse osmosis membranes.
FilmTec™ NF membranes provide excellent performance for a wide variety of applications in terms of salt and organic matter rejection and fouling resistance. FilmTec™ elements can operate over a pH range from 2 to 11, are resistant to compaction and are suitable for temperatures up to 45°C. They can be effectively cleaned at pH 1 and pH 13, depending on temperature. Filmtec Nanofiltration membrane models:
