Filtration Methods
Micron Cartridge Filter
Micron Cartridge filters are used to remove Micronics (Measure equal to 0.000039 inches) Suspended solids, Colloidal particles and other physical contaminants present in the water. Micron Cartridge filters come with housings and filter elements. Micron filters are available in various ratings starting from 0.1 microns up to 100 microns.
Micron cartridge consist of extremely fine microfibers spun into a multi-layered inert filter medium with optimized porosity supported by a perforated polypropylene core and an outer protective sleeve. The graded pore structure of the media enables excellent particle retention and high dirt holding capacity. Appropriate usage of MOC (Material of Construction) ensures extremely good chemical compatibility and very low media migration. These cartridges are manufactured to provide a large surface area in a small volume resulting in high throughputs with lower pressure drops and longer filtration life.
The size of the particles filtered by micron filters depend on the rating of the cartridge. Recommended operating temperature for polypropylene filter cartridges is up to 800 F. Micron filters operate at ultralow pressure conditions.
