Chemical Sanitization Performed using industry standard concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, paracetic acid, sodium hypochlorite, and other selected chemicals. (assure chemical solution will wet the hydrophobic membrane for effective sanitization.) Total Performance Critical Process Filtration, Inc. is a vertically integrated manufacturer of filtration products to industries in which filtration is considered a critical part of the manufacturing process. We supply a complete line of products and services to help you cost effectively satisfy all your filtration requirements from a single source. General Service Grade GTM Filter Cartridges are designed for general purpose use wherever a hydrophobic membrane filter is required. Manufactured with inherently hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane, these cartridges are designed for use in the filtration of aggressive solvents, and as compressed gas and vent filters. These cartridges are found in the manufacturing processes of firms in multiple industries that require high quality, cost effective filter technologies. The cartridge surface area, filter core design, pleat configuration, and pleat packing density have been optimized to provide increased cartridge life resulting in lower filtration operating costs.

All Critical Process Filtration filters are designed to meet the FDA requirements for processing food and beverage products. The materials used to construct GPS filters are listed by the FDA as appropriate for use in articles intended for repeated food contact as specified in Title 21 CFR sections 174.5, 177.1500, 177.1520, 177.1630, 177.2440 and 177.2600 as appropriate. Membrane filters comply with Title 21 CFR sections 210.3 (b)(6) and 211.72, for non-fiber releasing filters. All materials used to make the filters are listed in European Commission Regulation EU/10/2011, Annex 1. Flow Rate The...
