Purolator Advanced Filtration
The Clear Advantage TM
PUROCEPT A Series
Absolute Rated, Multi-Zone, Melt Blown Cartridges for Critical Applications
Benefits
Precision engineered Absolute removal ratings from
1 m to 30 m.
Proprietary PuroZone technology allows the creation of four
filtration zones within the depths of the filter.
Continuos gradient structure provides effective pre-filtration
and final filtration.
Advanced microprocessor controlled manufacturing delivers
extremely consistent product performance.
Polypropylene materials of construction allow use in a wide
range of demanding applications.
Cartridges are binder, adhesive, and surfactant free.
All polypropylene materials are FDA listed for food and
beverage contact, are NSF tested and certified, and meet
USP - Class VI criteria for plastics.
Description
PUROCEPT A Series depth filter cartridges provide absolute rated
filtration capability in a wide range of liquid process applications.
These high performance filter cartridges are manufactured with
proprietary, state-of-the-art, microprocessor controlled equipment
that creates a highly consistent product. The polypropylene
materials of construction are chemically inert allowing PUROCEPT
cartridges to be used in a wide range of demanding applications.
Purolators proprietary PuroZone technology allows the creation
of four zones within the depth of the filter cartridge. Each zone
contains a matrix of declining fiber diameters. This multi-zone
design produces a gradient pore structure, which effectively
captures larger particles in the upstream layers of the filter while
efficiently capturing smaller particles in the inner layers. Purolator
has optimized each PUROCEPT A filter grade to provide 99.5%
particle removal efficiency and superior mechanical strength.
Configurations available to fit most industry standard
housings.

Rinse Up
PUROCEPT Series cartridges rinse
up to 18 Megohm-cm with a
minimum of throughput.
Autoclaving
Single Open End PUROCEPT
cartridges can be autoclaved for 30
minutes at 250 F (121 C) under no
end load conditions. The filter
cartridges should be allowed to cool
to normal system operating
temperatures prior to use.
Stream Sterilization
Not recommended.
