Description
PEPLYN HD filter cartridges have been developed to excel in liquid clarification applications where a consistent quality of filtrate is required from variable particle loadings of the process solution.
The filtration media balances a high surface area and closely controlled porosity, in a configuration that maximizes the cleaning efficiency of the cartridge through backwash procedures.
Capture of larger insoluble particulate is predominantly on the surface of the media, where the rigid, open pleat structure ensures that backwash cleaning provides effective removal. Smaller colloids are retained throughout the depth of the graded density PEPLYN media, providing accurately defined retention under the variable particle loading conditions typical in clarification applications.
