Doulton's
absolute ceramic micro-filtration technology have proven track
record of providing a reliable filtration down to 0.9 µm
absolute (or 0.5 µm ANSI standard) with 100% efficiency
single-pass challenge in accordance to ASTM F795-8 specifications
protocol (none Beta-ratio multi-pass "protocol").
The
ceramic micro filter element has been tested under rigorous
test protocols by various independent laboratories including
to NSF Standard 53 as an absolute barrier to Cryptosporidium
and Giardia in potable water applications. Test results
with live
Cryptosporidium shows that Sterasyl filtration capabilities
exceeds by far those of EPA/CDC 1µm absolute guide 3
log reduction.
THE
CERAMIC CARTRIDGE FEATURES:
- Cleanable (back-wash capable) with simple plastic brush
and reusable up to 60 times without compromising the filtration
efficiency. Unlike poly cartridges it eliminates the need
for regeneration with harsh cleaning chemicals, sanitizing
agents, biocides, disinfectants and cleaning solutions
- 0.07% pure silver (Ag) incorporated throughout the ceramic
shell prevents bacteria grow-through nor build up on its
surface (bacteriostatic). No need for hot water or steam
sterilization.
- Less expensive than any absolute "membranes"
cartridges regardless what they cost to buy
- Biologically inert materials, no fiber leaching, strong
construction withstands everyday hydraulic fluctuation in
bottling applications
- >98% efficiency at 0.2 µm
- >90% efficiency at 0.05 µm
- Turbidity reduction <0.07 NTU

Applications:
- Bottled water
- Beer and wine clarification
- UV, RO and DI prefilter and or final polish filter
- Make-up water in beverage processes, etc.
- Whole house water filtration. More efficient and economical
than whole house UV.
1
µm nominal pre-filter highly recommended. This will
reduce the cleaning frequency. Model HSS-1 readily available,
all other models allow 3-4 weeks manufacturing time. |
BC4 and BC6 series (band clamp lid closure) high quality 316L polished stainless steel construction filter housing fitted with Doulton Sterasyl** cartridges in four or six stackable cartridge configuration with up to 18 cartridges with flow rate of 5/20-23/90 GPM/LPM are readily available. Higher or custom flow rate can be attained by mix and match
models in parallel order.
Options: Chemical resistant coatings, BSTP or Victaulic inlet/outlet.
Larger systems can be build to ASME code accepting up to 208 cartridges in various grades of steel and options.
HSS1
single element filters are ideal for larger pilot plant
studies, either on site, or within a laboratory environment.
Scale up from this modules is linear, therefore negating extensive
installation of larger plant for
verification of performance and applications.
3
piece filter manufactured of all 304L none polish stainless
steel construction includes mounting bracket and open/close
ring pin, 3/4 in. ports.
