Achieving success while lowering operating costs
Powered by FilmTec™ technology, the FilmTec™ Fortilife™ product family is designed for plants and facilities that need an industry-leading nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment that’s reliable, easy to clean, and that would benefit from a durable, robust membrane.
FilmTec™ Fortilife™ reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) elements can help you:
- Reduce water costs and lower operating expenses.
- Achieve sustainability goals.
- Minimize biofouling problems.
- Move toward minimal liquid discharge (MLD).

Reduce cleanings, increase productivity, and decrease waste
Fortify your water treatment system with expert fouling resistance
The FilmTec™ Fortilife™ CR200 element is an expertly designed contaminant resistant element for recycling and treating the combined challenge of biological and organic fouling prone waters. FilmTec™ Fortilife™ CR200 delivers systems with superior operational efficiency and consistent solute rejection using a combination of patented membrane and module technologies. It couples a high productivity, durable, biological and organic fouling resistant membrane to an ultra-low pressure drop element design.
Advantages include:
- Most advanced contaminant resistant DuPont FilmTec™ RO membrane.
- Up to 20% more water productivity at the same energy consumption or up to 20% less energy consumption at the same water productivity.
- Up to 50% reduction in the number of cleanings in biological and organic fouling systems.
- Durable membrane with a cleaning tolerance over a wide pH range (pH 1-13) for consistent, long-lasting lifetime.
Protect water systems against biofouling
The FilmTec™ Fortilife™ CR100 element is an advanced element design for treating and recycling highly biofouling prone waters, such as wastewater. It utilizes an ultra-low pressure drop element design and a durable, fouling resistant, and cleanable membrane chemistry that provides outstanding solute rejection over a long element lifetime. These benefits are available with either standard (CR100) or iLEC™ (CR100i) end cap designs.
Advantages include:
- Up to 10% less energy consumption at the same water productivity.
- Up to 50% reduction in the number of cleanings.
- Durable membrane with a cleaning tolerance over a wide pH range (pH 1-13) for consistent, long-lasting lifetime.
