Summary
Product identification
ROMICON® 5” Diameter Hollow Fiber Ultrafiltration Cartridges.
- Membrane Polymer: Polysulfone
- Housing Construction: Polysulfone
- Seal/Potting Material: Proprietary Epoxy Compound
- Storage Solution: Glycerin
- Options:
- Lumen size: 20 mil (0.5 mm), 43 mil (1.1 mm), 60 mil (1.5 mm), 75 mil (1.9 mm), 106 mil (2.7 mm)
- Membrane Type: PM5, PM10, PM30, PM50, PM100, or PM500
- Special Construction for Specific Applications:
- Vinegar Filtration: Selected PM50 and PM500 cartridges are available.
- Citrus Filtration: Selected PM10, PM50 and PM500 cartridges are available.
- ISOCON Cartridge: ISOCON PM10 20-mil cartridge is available for high temperature cleaning.
- ROMIPRO™ Cartridges: Selected cartridges of all membrane types are available with components that have passed USP Class VI test guidelines.
- Membrane Characteristics: ROMICON® cartridges are crossflow-type filters designed for stable productivity, ease of cleaning, and reliable operation. They minimize solids cake buildup on the membrane, providing efficient filtration at low operating pressure, allowing long process runs while reducing cleaning time, cleaning frequency, and labor costs.

Operating limits
- Maximum Inlet Pressure: 40 psi (2.8 bar)
- Maximum Transmembrane Pressure: 35 psi (2.4 bar)
- Maximum Operating Temperature (at pH 6.0): 140°F (60°C)
- Maximum Cleaning Temperature: 130°F (54°C)
- Maximum Permeate Side Back Pressure: 20 psi (1.4 bar)
- Maximum Differential Pressure Feed Side: 30 psi (2.1 bar)
- Allowable pH: 1.5 – 13.0 @ 130°F (54°C)
- Maximum Total Chlorine (During Cleaning):
- 200 ppm @ pH 10-10.5, 130°F (54°C)
- 0 ppm @ pH less than 9.5
- Exposure to Chemical Oxidants: Not recommended for daily use. Potassium metabisulfite (without catalyst such as cobalt) is the preferred chemical to eliminate residual chlorine or similar oxidizers prior to processing liquid.
- Lubricants: For cartridge installation, use only water or glycerin to lubricate seals. The use of petroleum or vegetable-based oils or solvents may damage the cartridge and will void the warranty.
