Cartridge filtration is a method of liquid filtration that uses a cartridge filter as the primary filtering element. This type of filtration is commonly used in various industries, including water treatment, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and more.
- Cartridge filters are cylindrical and made of materials like paper, polyester, or polypropylene.
- Filters have different pore sizes for capturing particles of various sizes.
- Liquid flows through the cartridge, and particles are captured through mechanical entrapment, absorption, or adsorption.
- Depth Filters: Trap particles throughout the filter media.
- Surface Filters: Capture particles on the surface of the filter media.
- Water Treatment: Removal of sediment and impurities.
- Food and Beverage: Clarification and particle removal.
- Pharmaceuticals: Ensuring purity in processes.
- Chemical Processing: Filtering chemicals and removing contaminants.
- Easy to use and maintain.
- Provides efficient and consistent filtration.
- Available in various sizes and materials.
- Regular monitoring and replacement are necessary.
- Replacement frequency depends on factors like filter type and liquid characteristics.
- Multiple filters with different pore sizes may be used in series for finer filtration.
