SUPRApak™ Plus PH Series Modules M (12”) and S (7.5”) Size

Developed from traditional depth filtration technology, SUPRApak modules efficiently combine the filtration mechanisms of surface filtration, depth filtration and adsorption. Highly unique to their design is an entirely new flow configuration based on the “edgeflow” principle.

 

Seitz® filter sheet material is wrapped around a central, permeable core. Feed and filtrate channels provide a fluid flow path resulting in maximum utilization of the sheet material, to provide highly efficient contaminant removal and a cost-effective enclosed system alternative to flat sheet filtration. New to the SUPRApak PH Series is an improved layer to layer sealing which offers the following features and benefits:

Features	Benefits
Flow configuration based on “edge flow” principle	Up to 6 times higher throughput compared to classical sheet filtration, resulting in longer process uptimes1 Increased adsorption capability and excellent filtrate quality
Sealing line technology	Higher mechanical stability Modules can be steam sanitized Higher dp stability and therefore higher total throughput
Enclosed filtration system	Increased process safety and product quality No drip losses Minimal operator exposure to process fluids
Drainable, low hold-up volume assembly	Higher product yield; lower cleaning costs
High filtration capacity in compact design	Small footprint
Simple, quick installation and servicing	Reduced labor and maintenance costs

Operating Guidelines

 

Field experience shows that maximum achievable differential pressures vary with the applications and product selection. They are determined by monitoring filtrate quality, and are influenced by several factors. Please contact Pall for details, and refer to SUPRApak module instructions for use.

 

Nominal Weight and Typical Ash Content

Module	Dry Weight	Wet Weight	Ash Content4
SUPRApak S PH 5700 – PH 7200)	1.6 – 1.8 kg (3.5 – 4 lbs)	3.5-4.5 kg (7.7-9.9 lbs)	35 – 49%
SUPRApak M PH 5700 – PH 7200)	5.1 – 5.6 kg (11.2 – 12.3 lbs)	15.5 – 16.5 kg (34.1 – 36.3 lbs)	40 – 54%

⁴ These figures are determined on typical finished articles. Values differ for individual PH grades. Ash values for the filter sheets in individual batches are available on request.

 

Sanitization

 

Sanitization usually is not required in distilled spirits filtration. If the process requires sanitization with hot water or steam, please use our SUPRApak Plus PW range.

 

Rinsing⁵

Module Size	Rising Volume/Module	Recommended Flow Rate
SUPRApak S	20 liters (5.3 US gal)	1.5 times filtration flow rate
SUPRApak M	140 liters (37 US gal)	1.5 times filtration flow rate

⁵ Depending on the application, rinsing with cold or warm water in a forward flow direction is recommended prior to filtration.
