FilmTec™ Fortilife™ Low Pressure Elements for Wastewater Reuse
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ CR element series are powered by world‑class membrane technology, delivering enhanced salt rejection and excellent fouling resistance. These products are engineered to handle challenging water streams where complex feedwater compositions and harsh operating conditions create a high fouling risk, leveraging robust membrane technology refined over more than 60 years. FilmTec™ Fortilife™ CR element series empowers industrial water treatment operators to efficiently treat difficult water sources and support reuse applications. With ultra‑low pressure drop and durable construction, FilmTec™ Fortilife™ CR100 element helps reduce plant downtime, improve operational efficiency, and minimize energy consumption.
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ CR element series are ideal for the following applications:
- Industrial wastewater reuse
- Municipal wastewater reuse
- Demineralization for industrial utility water with challenging feedwater.
Permeate flow and salt rejection based on the following standard conditions: 2000 ppm NaCl, 225 psi (15.5 bar), 15% recovery, 77°F (25°C), pH 8.
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ Nanofiltration Elements for Water and Water Reclamation
Helping industrial users to achieve high purity of final crystallization or valorization of salt solution through selective-ion separation.
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ NF1000 and NF1000 HP elements are a salt selective nanofiltration element that cuts costly RO concentrate volumes by separating monovalent from divalent ions to generate purer salt streams, boosting water and resource recovery, lowering energy and OPEX, and enabling more efficient crystallization or brine valorization in MLD/ZLD and industrial reuse.
Permeate flow and salt rejection based on the following standard conditions: 2000 ppm MgSO₄, 70 psi (4.8 bar), 15% recovery, 77°F (25°C).
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ Elements for the Next Stage of Industrial Wastewater Reuse Treatment - Moderate Salinity
High-pressure RO elements for industrial brine concentration, expertly designed with robust and high fouling resistance membranes enabling reduced cleaning frequency and greater up-time
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC70 element and FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC80 element are designed to push brine concentration and help maximize water recovery. Both elements deliver fouling resistance and cleaning efficiency through expertly designed module construction and membrane architecture, enabling a slower decline in permeate flow rate over time. FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC70 and FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC80 elements help maintain high permeate quality under challenging industrial feedwater conditions. Continuous improvements in membrane and element construction help customers reduce plant downtime, improve operational efficiency, and minimize energy consumption.
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ Elements Engineered for Industrial Minimal Liquid Discharge (MLD) and Resource Recovery
Designed with cutting-edge innovative membrane technology with high and ultra-high pressure RO element configuration, efficiently treat challenging water sources and help industries to achieve operational efficiency, and minimize energy consumption
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC120 element is designed to provide a stable wastewater recovery experience with robust membrane technology and help to achieve brine concentration up to 120g/L NaCl.
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC120UHP element is a high-salt-rejection element designed to produce directly reusable permeate while achieving brine concentrations of up to 120 g/L NaCl.
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC160UHP element, a multi-award-winning solution, enables higher water recovery and reduces the reject brine for the downstream treatment process.
The FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC220 element is designed to enable NaCl concentrations up to 220 g/L, partially displacing conventional downstream thermal treatment.
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ XC-Max UHP element further extends ultra‑high‑pressure capability and, when integrated into an optimized system design, helps reduce footprint and simplify overall process configuration.
Permeate flow and salt rejection based on the following standard conditions: 32000 ppm NaCl, 600 psi (41.4 bar), 15% recovery, 77°F (25°C), pH 8.
¹Permeate flow and salt rejection based on the following standard conditions: 32000 ppm NaCl, 800 psi (55.1 bar), 8% recovery, 77°F (25°C), pH 8
