Water PES Cartridge Filters

Product catalog summary
General Overview
WPS Cartridge Filters with symmetric polyethersulfone (PES) membrane are designed for applications such as process water, ultrapure water, DI water, and pharmaceutical waters. These filters are effective in preventing bacterial growth and biofilm accumulation due to their symmetric membrane structure.
Construction Materials
The filters are constructed using symmetric PES 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.
Dimensions and Specifications
Filter cartridges 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. Maximum operating parameters include a forward differential pressure of 50 psid at 20°C and a reverse pressure of 40 psid at the same temperature. The operating temperature is up to 82°C at 10 psid in water, with a recommended changeout pressure of 35 psid.
Sanitization and Sterilization
Filters can be sanitized using filtered hot water at 90°C for 30 minutes in multiple cycles, with a maximum of 3 psid forward flow. Chemical sanitization can be performed using standard concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, paracetic acid, sodium hypochlorite, and other chemicals.
Performance and Compliance
Critical Process Filtration, Inc. manufactures these filters, ensuring compliance with FDA and EC regulations for food and beverage processing. The filters meet ISO 9001:2008 standards, and the manufacturing process is conducted in clean rooms with a sophisticated MRP system for quality assurance.
Ordering Information
Cartridge order numbers vary based on pore size, end cap type, and other specifications. Pore sizes range from 0.03 μm to 0.45 μm, with various end cap and O-ring configurations available.
Flow Rate
Typical flow rates for a single 10-inch cartridge at a 1 psid pressure differential are provided, with values ranging from 1.5 GPM for 0.03 μm pore size to 6.0 GPM for 0.45 μm pore size.
