The key to filter in Chemica • The Filter pore size / Retention

– How much ? 0.1um, 0.2um…

– Lower filtration rate, Higher retention

• The Chemical Compatibility / Pre-wetting – PTFE

– UPE

– PP

– Nylon

• Cleanness• Low Hold Volume

Membrane Characteristics

"Pore size" (maximum pore size = "retention rating )

The largest sized pores in a filter

"Porosity" A measurement of the openness of a filter i.e. 80% porosity equates to 80% open

volume, 20% material

"Pore size distribution" The range and frequency of pore sizes

which make up a the filterThat is why HA

Pleated Cartridges Filter "pack" contains membr

ane, plus upstream & downstream fibrous supports.

Supports can be a source of particles .

Pulse pressure is a potential shedding source

It is not easy to prewet and flush.

Downstream components are rigid and cleaner than other membrane supports.

Excellent in pulse pressure shedding.

Horizontal disks prevent efficient gas venting

Typical Filtration Devices:Hollow Fiber Cartridges

Filter area can be greater than pleated structure

Benefits of self-supporting, high surface area, high flow.

Used mostly in water filtration and photochemical.

Hydrophobic Vs Hydrophilic

Hydrophilic: Wetting smoothly with, water.". No pre-wetting

Hydrophobic: Fear of water; Tending not to combine with water. Requires pre-wetting.

Hydrophobic Vs Hydrophilic

Contact Angle is the measure of Wettability

Hydrophobic

< 90?

Hydrophilic

No contact angle 90? > 90?

Low contact angle = HydrophobicHigh contact angle = Hydrophilic

PTFE membrane surface energy is 18 dynes/cm; PTFE has a higher affinity for air than water. Gas bubbles stick to the membrane surface, forming nucleation sites.

As more gas bubbles pass through the pore, these nucleation sites grow and begin to block the pore.

Finally, the pore completely fills with gas, effectively blocking the pore and rendering it unusable. As more pores in the filter dewet, the flow through the filter dramatically decreases.

What is Dewetting and how can it impact a process?

QuickChange membrane surface energy is 35 dynes/cm; when wet, this membrane has a higher affinity for water than air.

Dissolved gas bubbles do not stick to the membrane surface, eliminating the formation of nucleation sites.

Dissolved gas bubbles are swept through the pore, leaving the usable filtration area intact. Flow rates are maintained over extended periods in use.

QuickChange Filters are Non-Dewetting

T-Line Mounting Considerations

Bowl Down (top of the head points toward ceiling)

Easier to drain upstream side of filter

Air does not get trapped in core

– Liquid remains in core after drain

– 20" can be difficult to mount filters

T-Line Mounting Considerations

• A typical tool design requires enough space to lower the bowl below the cartridge for filter changeout.

• With Chemlock, the bowl only needs to be lowered below the head, then the cartridge and bowl can be removed as a single unit.

• Tool Space Savings - Approx. ~ 8 inches!

• 18” in space savings with 20” bowl

Two major filter types Depth filter—Pre filter-dirty process Membrane filter – Final filter-precision filtration

Filter Wetability Hydrophobic membrane – used for solvent

Hydrophilic membrane –Not need to prewet for water base chemical
