BW-4040FR — fouling-resistant RO membrane

A fouling-resistant membrane option for reuse-water and challenging feed-water enquiries. Its catalog uses a 34 mil spacer; selection still requires a pretreatment and cleaning review.

Catalog capacities are selection references. Final output, energy use and water quality depend on the confirmed feed water, operating conditions and supplied configuration.

Configuration & selection

Share suspended-solids, organic-loading and operating-history information when evaluating the FR family. A fouling-resistant designation does not remove the need for pretreatment, monitoring or a suitable cleaning procedure.

These are single-element catalog test values, not a guaranteed system output. Compare flow and rejection only with their stated pressure, feed solution, temperature and recovery. Confirm dimensions, connections and the system projection before replacement.

Specify the operating conditions

  • Feed-water source, salinity, temperature and analysis
  • Required permeate flow, quality and operating hours
  • Existing model, dimensions, connectors and pressure vessel
  • Element quantity, array layout and delivery destination

A matching model format or similar test flow does not establish interchangeability. Confirm mechanical fit and system performance before replacement.

Applications

From selection to installation

Request a proposal with the equipment list, process arrangement, utility requirements, delivery scope and maintenance access. Agree on commissioning responsibilities, consumables and spare parts before placing an order.
