Selection of Appropriate Filter Cartridges
Herewith is the solution of how MMP Hydro Wound Filter Cartridges has more dirt holding capacity and life in compared to melt blown filter cartridges. Selection of appropriate filter cartridges is very important
Executive summary:
We are sharing a related experience with AMUL
We received a call from Amul Diary plant to visit their plant & the reason being that they had to replace the filter cartridges very frequently and management was not agreeing to bear such high costs, as well, as they were facing problems in plant maintenance also.
We visited the plant and noted that source water i.e. ground water and turbidity was very high even though, they were using mmp supplied melt blown filter cartridges. In front of him we broke the filter cartridges and showed him all three layers of filter cartridges were chocked, so melt blown filter cartridges has performed very well but it has certain limit to hold impurity. We then explained that if they want more life than they should use mmp wound filter cartridges brand name is HydroWound, which would give double the life of melt blown. We requested to allow us to send samples for proving our point. Thank fully he agreed, and we sent HydroWound sample. He was very much satisfied with our sample, and he got the same results that they were looking for. He has sent written mail for appreciation and a token of thanks.
Subject Information:
This case study is all about application and how we must select the appropriate filter cartridge. There are various types of filter cartridges available in the market, selection of right filter cartridges at right place is very important because nature of water is different in every place.
Challenges and Objectives:
Most challenges faced by the customer is in selection of appropriate filter cartridges as per plant requirement from various type of filter cartridges available in market. Here are few points customer must check before selection of filter cartridges, like
- Turbidity in water,
- Micron size of particular they want to arrest,
- Flow of water
- Pressure
- Temperature
- Application i.e. in water or solvent.
Result:
There are various parameters out of which herewith I am sharing some basic parameters which help in selection of filter cartridges.
| Type | Parameter |
| Melt Blown Filter Cartridges (MB) | Good micron efficiency which is 84-85%Cost wise cheaper among all different type of filter cartridges.Low dirt holding capacity.Temperature upto 80 Degree centigradeFlow as per 10inch 1m3 |
| PP Wound Filter Cartridges | Good micron efficiency which is 80-85%Cost wise costlier than MB.High dirt holding capacity.Temperature upto 80 Degree centigrade. Flow as per 10inch 1m3 |
| Fiber Glass Wound Filter Cartridges | Good micron efficiency which is 80-85%Cost wise costlier than MB, Wound.High dirt holding capacity.Temperature upto 210 Degree centigrade. Flow as per 10inch 1m3 Decide as per chemical composition in liquid. |
| Cotton Wound Filter Cartridges | Good micron efficiency which is 80-85%Cost wise costlier than MB, Wound.High dirt holding capacity.Temperature upto 120 Degree centigrade. Decide as per chemical composition in liquid.Flow as per 10inch 1m3 |
| PP Pleated Filter Cartridges | Very Good micron efficiency which is 85% for nominal rating and 98.9% for absolute ratingCost wise costlier.High dirt holding capacity.Temperature upto80 Degree centigrade. Flow as per 10inch 1m3 |
Above stated points can help in selection of appropriate filter cartridges as per application. Following are some brief key points on above discussion.
- How to select filter cartridges.
- What happens when we select the wrong filter cartridges
- Types of filter cartridges available in the market.
- Challenges and solution.
Thus, Selecting appropriate filter cartridges is crucial for effective filtration in various applications. Factors like particle size, compatibility with the fluid, and filtration efficiency should be considered.
Choosing the wrong filter cartridges can lead to compromised filtration performance, causing contamination or system malfunctions. It’s essential to match the filter type with the specific requirements of the application to ensure optimal results. There are various types of filter cartridges available in the market, including depth filters, membrane filters, and pleated filters, each designed for specific purposes. Understanding the characteristics and advantages of these types helps in making informed decisions.
Lastly, Challenges in filter cartridge selection may arise due to diverse application needs, but thorough research and collaboration with filtration experts provide effective solutions, ensuring the filtration system’s reliability and efficiency.
