Up to 0.6m2 per 250mm module (depending on pore rating).

Applications

  • Pharmaceuticals and Bioprocessing
    The batch preparation of intermediates used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical and bioprocessed products. Used as prefilters to extend the life of membrane filters.
  • Foods and Beverages
    The clarification of beers, wines and spirits to a clear and bright finish without affecting taste or colour.
  • Inks and coatings
    For removal of agglomerates and gels with minimal loss of product.
  • Fine Chemicals
  • Process Water Systems
  • Suitable for steam and hot water sanitisation
    Polyfil™ cartridges are resistant to repeat steam sterilisation up to 135°C (275°F) and hot water cycles at up to 90°C (194°F).
  • Cosmetics

Clean Water Flow Rates

  • Typical clean water flow rate:
    A 254mm (10”) Polyfil™ II single cartridge exhibits the flow-ΔP characteristics indicated below, for solutions with a viscosity of 1 centipoise.
