Bevpor MH | Filter Cartridges

Description

BEVPOR MH filters provide full retention to industry regulated, water contaminating organisms to ensure the microbiological safety of bottled water.

The inert and highly asymmetric PES membrane provides validated microbial retention to regulated, contaminating organisms. The 0.2µm grade provides complete sterility in accordance to ASTM F838-05 requirements. Combined with hydrophilic properties for easy integrity testing, BEVPOR MH filters provide assured performance throughout their service life. The incorporation of an active prefilter layer, combined with an increased filtration area provides high water flow rates, greater resistance to blockage and maximized service lifetimes.

BEVPOR MH filters have been designed to provide the optimum solution to the microbial sterilization and stabilization of bottled water by providing increased process control with increased operational efficiency.

Retention Characteristics

0.2µm BEVPOR MH filters have been validated to provide sterile effluent after bacterial challenge testing following ASTM F838-05 methodology on 10” cartridges with more than 107
cfu per cm2 using Brevundimonas diminuta.

In addition, challenges with the following EU regulated organisms have been performed.

Integrity Test Data

All filters are flushed with pharmaceutical grade purified water prior to despatch. They are integrity tested to the following limits:

Manufacturing Traceability

Each filter cartridge displays the product name, product code and lot number. Additionally, each module displays a unique serial number providing full manufacturing traceability.
