SUPRApak™ Plus PR Series Modules

For High Throughput Depth Filtration in Enclosed Systems

SUPRApak Plus PR depth filter module design is using the new layer to layer seal technology. 

Beyond cellulose, kieselguhr and perlite, filter sheet material of the SUPRApak PR-series contain up to 40% of polyolefin fibers, specially selected for best possible filtration results. These filter sheets are characterised by an increased chemical and mechanical stability. They are therefore particularly suitable for the filtration of aggressive media. An outstanding property of the HR-sheets is their high resistance to cellulose-degrading enzymes.

Description

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 PR 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 Characteristics in Compatible Fluids3

Module Size Grade Max. Operating Temperature
SUPRApak M, L PR 5100 80 °C (167 °F) / 8 hours4

3Compatible fluids are those which do not adversely affect the filter materials of construction.

4Laboratory tests up to 8 hours exposure. Actual field experience shows substantially longer resistance to high temperatures. For continuous hot fluid applications over 40° C (104° F), a stainless steel support core is required. Please see SUPRApak housing data sheet for information.
 

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 Content5
SUPRApak M (PW 5200 – PW 7100) 5.1 – 5.6 kg (11.2–12.3 lbs) 15.5 –16.5 kg (34.1–36.3 lbs) 40 – 54%
SUPRApak L (PW 5200 – PW 7100) 11–12 kg (24.2–26.4 lbs) 25 – 30 kg (55 – 66 lbs) 40 – 54%

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

 

Sanitization6

Method Temperature Time/Cycles6
Hot Water 85 °C (185 °F) 20 cycles @20 min each
Steam 125 °C (258 °F) 10 cycles @20 min each
6The actual time required may vary as a function of the process conditions. Laboratory tests were carried out up to 10 cycles. Actual field experience shows more cycles are achievable, coupled with proper filtrate quality monitoring.
