The DOW FILMTEC™ FORTILIFE™ product family offers industrial users a reliable and highly efficient option to help solve highly difficult water challenges, such as wastewater reuse and minimal liquid discharge. The DOW FILMTEC™ FORTILIFE™ CR100 element is one of the industry’s most advanced fouling resistant element technology specially designed to provide relief from biological fouling. The element’s ultra low differential pressure (Figure 1) provides improved hydraulic balance (more even distribution of flux across all the elements in the system) in a biological
fouling environment such as wastewater treatment. This product also boasts a reliable and durable membrane chemistry, providing organic fouling resistance, cleanability, low energy operation, and excellent solute rejection.
With FORTILIFE™ CR100, an end user that performs frequent cleanings due to biofouling, typically indicated by a rapid increase of the 1st stage differential pressure, can expect:
- Up to 50% reduction in the number of cleanings
- More effective and efficient cleaning of biofilm, organic compounds and scale, achieved through the
widest pH range in cleaning (pH 1 – 13), made possible by the most advanced DO - W FILMTEC™ RO membrane
sheet available today - Up to 10% energy savings at the same water productivity
