Product Data Sheet
FilmTec™ NF90-400/34i Element
Description Ideal for: utility managers and operators looking for a technology that
delivers high quality permeate water while removing specific contaminants
such as salts, nitrates, iron, and organic compounds.
The FilmTec™ NF90-400/34i Element:
l Delivers high productivity and cleanability due to its high active
area and widest cleaning pH range (1-13) tolerance
l Offers a nanofiltration technology that selectively removes these
components, color and operates at low operating pressures
l Including 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

1. Permeate flow and salt passage based on the following test conditions:2,000 mg/l MgSO4, 70 psi (4.8
bar), 77°F (25°C) and 15% recovery.
2. Flow rates for individual elements may vary but will be no more than ±15%.
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.

b. Refer to Cleaning Guidelines (Form No. 45-D01696-en).
c. Under certain conditions, the presence of free chlorine and other oxidizing agents will cause premature
membrane failure. Since oxidation damage is not covered under warranty, DuPont Water Solutions
recommends removing residual free chlorine by pretreatment prior to membrane exposure. Please refer to
Dechlorinating Feedwater (Form No. 45-D01569-en) for more information.
