MT PES 5kDa

Summary

Product identification

This document describes the Sanitary Ultrafiltration Spiral-Wound Element: MT (PES 5kDa). Synder Filtration’s Ultrafiltration Elements are designed to offer an optimal combination of both flux and rejection across a comprehensive range of molecular weight cut-offs (MWCOs).

Operating limits

Recommended Operating Parameters

• Maximum Temperature: 55°C (131°F)
• pH Range @ Max Temperature: 3-9

  • Max: <0.1 ppm
• Chlorine During CIP at pH 10.8-11.0 and 50°C:
  • Norm: 150 ppm
  • Max: 180 ppm
• Note: Maximum chlorine exposure for all elements is 30 minutes per day at pH and temperature conditions listed above.

Element Dimensions and Weight

Various element models are available with different diameters, lengths, and permeate water tube (P.W.T.) IDs. See the official PDF for exact tabulated values, including:

• Model No.
• Outer Diameter (OD)
• Length (L)
• Permeate Water Tube Inner Diameter (P.W.T. ID)
• Weight (lb and kg) Some models (e.g., 2540M) feature 1” permeate tube extensions (0.75” OD). Customizable dimensions are available.

Membrane Area

Membrane area varies by element model and feed spacer thickness (in mils). See the official PDF for exact tabulated values by Model No. and Feed Spacer.

Recommended Element Cross Flow Rate

Recommended cross flow rates are provided by element diameter and feed spacer (in mils), in both m³/hr and gpm. See the official PDF for exact tabulated values. Note: The recommended cross flow rate is subject to differential pressure limitations and specific applications.

Standard Series Benefits

• Conforms to 3-A, FDA, and USDA sanitary standards
• Widest range of UF MWCO’s available
• Good resistance to pH and temperature
• High resistance to fouling
• Customizable dimensions for unique housings

Common Applications

• Whey protein concentrate & isolate production
• Enzyme concentration
