What to Look for When Asking for Replacement Filters
What to Look for When Asking for Replacement Filters You are seeking replacement filters for an established process. This could be due to technical issues with your current supplier, supply chain challenges such as extended lead times or stockouts,
Read MoreMonitoring and Predicting Filtration Performance
Monitoring and Predicting Filtration Performance All filters will eventually clog if performing correctly. How fast they clog and filter life will depend on the particle load of the feed stream and the total flow through the filter. But how do you
Read MoreSolutions for Premature Filter Fouling
Solutions for Premature Filter Fouling Filter fouling can damage a filtration system, leading to manufacturing disruptions. Properly designed systems are the best way of reducing the probability of fouling the membrane filters, but problems can and
Read MoreHow many filters will be needed in my process?
One of the first questions many customers ask when evaluating filtration solutions is, “How many filters will I need?” Getting to the correct answer requires consideration of many factors.
Read MoreCase Study: Intermittent Premature Filter Fouling Solved
Premature fouling is caused by an excess of particles in the fluid that clogs a filter earlier than its expected life cycle. Typically, the problem will appear every time the fluid passes through the employed filter, and sometimes it happens
Read MoreMy filtration performance isn’t the same. What changed?
When a process does not perform as expected, asking the question “What changed?” is the best place to start. For over 20 years, we have been helping customers find the culprit in their filtration process when suddenly results go awry. A robust,

Read MoreNominally Rated Depth Filters - not all are created equal
Pore size ratings are an important indicator of how well a filter will remove particles of varying sizes from a liquid or gas. It is just as important to take into consideration whether the filter rating is Absolute or Nominal, and the removal
