FAQ

1.How high flow filter cartridges work?

High flow cartridges operate on the principle of depth filtration, trapping contaminants throughout the filter media rather than just on the surface. This design maximizes dirt-holding capacity and provides longer service life. Key features of how they work include:

Large filtration surface: Pleated or depth media increases the contact area, allowing higher flow rates and lower pressure drops.

Inside-to-outside flow direction: This configuration improves structural integrity and makes cartridge replacement easier and cleaner.

Graded pore structure: Ensures progressive contaminant capture, protecting downstream equipment and improving filtration efficiency.

Fewer cartridges, faster change-outs, greener filtration：High flow capability enables fewer cartridges, which results in reduced cartridge handling and disposal, reduced filter change-out time and less individual cartridge seal points to help achieve sustainability goals.

2.What are the application scenarios of high flow filter cartridges?

1)Municipal and industrial water treatment:
Municipal water supply pretreatment: Filtration of raw water (surface water, groundwater) in waterworks to remove large particulate impurities such as sediment, algae, and colloids, protecting subsequent precision filtration equipment (e.g., ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis membranes) and extending their service life. 
Industrial circulating water systems: Filtration of circulating cooling water in industries such as steel and electric power to remove pipeline corrosion products, microbial slime, and suspended particles, preventing blockage or scaling of heat exchangers and cooling towers and improving heat exchange efficiency. 

2)Food and beverage industry: 
Filtration of raw water for fruit juices, beer, dairy products, etc., to remove particles and microorganisms (e.g., algae, bacteria) in water, avoiding impact on product taste and shelf life.

3)Seawater desalination: 
In seawater desalination processes (e.g., reverse osmosis), high flow filter cartridges are used for pretreatment to remove impurities such as sediment, plankton, and colloids in seawater, protecting reverse osmosis membranes from abrasion or blockage and extending the service life of the membranes. 

4)Environmental protection:
Municipal sewage treatment: Pretreatment before advanced sewage treatment to remove large suspended solids,reducing the load on subsequent processes such as ultrafiltration and disinfection. Reuse of industrial wastewater: Preliminary filtration of wastewater such as electroplating wastewater and printing and dyeing wastewater through high flow filter cartridges to reduce the concentration of pollutants in water and improve the recycling rate of water.

3.For what applications are different material sealing rings suitable?

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): 

• Applications: Water, steam, alcohol media, such as municipal water supply and cooling towers. 
• Temperature resistance: -20~100℃, with excellent weather resistance and ozone resistance.

FKM (Fluoroelastomer): 

• Applications: Strong acids, strong alkalis, high-temperature oils, such as chemical reactors and petrochemical pipelines.
• Temperature resistance: -20~200℃, with extremely strong chemical corrosion resistance. 

Silicone: 

• Applications: Sanitary sealing in food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries, such as purified water equipment. 
• Temperature resistance: -30~150℃, non-toxic and anti-aging.

 
NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber): 

• Applications: Sealing of hydraulic oil and lubricating oil, such as hydraulic systems of industrial equipment. 
• Temperature resistance: -40~120℃, low cost but not resistant to polar solvents.

4.How to recommend the appropriate filter cartridge pore size according to different applications?

Municipal/industrial pretreatment: 

• Recommended pore size: 5-50μm, for removing sediment and colloids. 
• Scenarios: Raw water filtration in waterworks, circulating cooling water systems. 

Food and beverage/pharmaceutical: 

• Recommended pore size: 1-10μm, for clarification of fruit juices, terminal filtration of water for injection, etc. 
• Scenarios: Protecting downstream ultrafiltration membranes. 

Chemical/energy: 

• Recommended pore size: 1-20μm, for impurity removal in chemical raw materials, filtration of hydraulic oil, etc. 
• Scenarios: Preventing reactor blockage or equipment wear. 

Seawater desalination: 

• Recommended pore size: 5-20μm, for removing plankton and colloids in seawater

5.The conventional PP material high flow filter cartridge can withstand a temperature of 80℃. Can high-temperature resistant filter cartridges be provided if needed? What is the maximum temperature they can withstand?Which filter cartridge is recommended?

Conventional PP material: Temperature resistance of 80℃, suitable for normal temperature fluids. 
Recommendations for high-temperature filter cartridges: 

• Glass fiber (GF) material: Temperature resistance of 120℃, used for power plant condensate water and high-temperature process water. 
• PBT material: Temperature resistance of 140℃, suitable for filtration of some high-temperature solvents in chemical industry or environments with relatively high temperature requirements. 
• Metal filter cartridges: Stainless steel has a temperature resistance of 200℃, used in extreme environments.

6.What is the initial pressure difference (clean pressure difference) of high flow filter cartridges? What are the initial pressure difference, replacement pressure difference, and maximum pressure difference?

Clean pressure difference: Refers to the pressure difference before and after the fluid passes through a brand-new, unused filter cartridge in the initial filtration state, also known as the "initial pressure difference". 

Initial pressure difference: Usually 0.02-0.05MPa (0.2-0.5Bar). 

Replacement pressure difference: It is recommended to replace when the pressure difference reaches 2.4Bar to avoid filter cartridge overload. 

Maximum allowable pressure difference: Generally, it does not exceed 3.4Bar to prevent filter cartridge rupture.

7.Why choose high flow filter cartridges compared with traditional filter cartridges?

High throughput: The flow rate of a single cartridge can reach 40-80m³/h, which is 5-10 times that of traditional filter cartridges, reducing the number of filter cartridges. 

Low maintenance cost: High dirt-holding capacity, extending the replacement cycle by 3-5 times, reducing labor and downtime.

Space saving: Smaller filter cartridge size, reducing the system volume by 50%, suitable for compact scenarios. 

Energy consumption reduction: Low resistance, reducing the water pump power demand by 10-20%.

8.For mainstream brands horizontal pleated and vertical pleated models of the same size, why is there a large price difference?

Process complexity: The equipment for vertical pleating is simple, while the process of horizontal pleating is more complex, with more cumbersome procedures than vertical pleated filter cartridges, increasing processing costs. 

Material cost: Horizontal pleated filter cartridges use more filter materials, leading to increased costs. 

Performance difference: The membrane area of horizontal pleated filter cartridges increases, resulting in increased dirt-holding capacity, suitable for high-pollution scenarios.
