Biopharm PTFE Membrane Cartridge Filters

Product catalog summary
Overview: BTM Cartridge Filters are designed with hydrophobic PTFE membranes for gas and non-aqueous liquid filtration. They are used in applications such as fermentation air bioburden control, compressed gas filtration, and tank vent filtration.
Construction Materials: The filters are constructed using PTFE membrane for filtration media, with polypropylene used for media support, end caps, center core, and outer support cage. The sealing method is thermal bonding, and various O-ring materials are available, including Buna, Viton, EP, Silicone, and FEP encapsulated options.
Applications: These filters are suitable for fermentation air, compressed air filtration, solvent filtration, tank vents, non-aqueous solutions, and process gas.
Dimensions: The filters are available in lengths from 5 to 40 inches and have an outside diameter of 2.75 inches. The filtration area is 7.0 ft² per 10-inch length.
Integrity Test Specifications: The filters are tested with a 60/40 IPA/water wetted membrane. Bubble point specifications vary by pore size, ranging from 21 psig for 0.10 μm to 6 psig for 1.0 μm.
Operating Parameters: Maximum differential pressure is 50 psid forward and 40 psid reverse at 20°C. The operating temperature is 82°C at 10 psid, with a recommended changeout pressure of 35 psid.
Sanitization/Sterilization: Filters can be autoclaved at 121°C or steam sterilized in-line at 135°C. Chemical sanitization can be performed using standard concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, paracetic acid, and sodium hypochlorite.
Quality Assurance: Filters are manufactured in compliance with cGMP and ISO 9001:2008 standards. They are tested for USP biosafety and FDA compliance, ensuring non-toxicity and suitability for repeated food contact.
Validation: Filters are validated using ASTM Method F838-05 and HIMA protocols, with specific challenges for different pore sizes.
Flow Rates: Typical flow rates for liquid range from 1.8 gpm for 0.1 μm to 9.0 gpm for 1.0 μm. Air/gas flow rates range from 26 scfm for 0.1 μm to 85 scfm for 1.0 μm.
Ordering Information: Cartridge order numbers vary based on pore size, end cap type, length, and O-ring material. Specific codes are provided for each configuration.

Biopharm PTFE Membrane Cartridge Filters-1

BTM Cartridge Filters PTFE Membrane Solvent Filtration Tank Vents Non-Aqueous Solutions Outside Diameter Filtration Area Integrity Test Specifications 60/40 IPA/water wetted membrane Pore Size (liquid) 0.10 μm BTM Filter Cartridges are manufactured with inherently hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane. These cartridges are designed for use in the filtration of gases and nonaqueous liquids. Applications include bioburden control in fermentation air, compressed gas filtration and tank vent filtration to protect the integrity of stored liquids. Each cartridge module is individually tested using the water intrusion method before it is released from manufacture. The cartridge surface area, filter core design, pleat configuration, and pleat packing density have been optimized to provide increased cartridge life and lower filtration operating costs. Rugged construction ensures repeatable steaming and testing.

Biopharm PTFE Membrane Cartridge Filters-2

Quality Assurance and Standards Critical Process Filtration filters are designed for use in cGMPcompliant processes. Our state of the art manufacturing facility and quality management system both meet ISO 9001:2008 standards. Each operation from assembly and test to cleaning, drying, and packaging is done in appropriately rated clean rooms, and each filter is assigned a lot code to ensure the traceability of manufacturing data and materials. A sophisticated MRP system collects and processes real time data from manufacturing centers and inspection points. This allows variable and attribute data...
