Pall Carbo Filter Elements
Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for Pall Carbo Filter Elements. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.
Summary
Product identification
Pall Carbo filter elements are manufactured from high-quality carbon material. The carbon grains are integrally linked by carbon bridges, resulting in a binder-free carbon structure with high chemical resistance.
- Fine porous types with a smooth surface are suitable for fine filtration utilizing back-wash cleaning technology.
- Coarser types exhibit a slightly rougher surface, ideal for pre-coat filtration applications employing cellulose as a filter aid.
General Information
- Ceramic elements are to be handled with care.
- Elements can be easily glued using commercial glues which Pall can supply.
- Careful consideration should be paid to operating temperature and chemical resistance.
- The filter elements are usually installed in the filter housing using a metal tie-rod system, flat gaskets, and a temperature compensation plate.
Applications
- Particle filtration of liquids
- Polish filtration of aggressive liquids
- Catalytic recovery from reaction solutions
- Caustic soda
- Particle separation from condensate
- Particle filtration of gases
- Particle separation from water vapor
- Particle separation from aggressive exhaust gases
- Support body for precoat filtration
- Polish filtration of cell brine in chlor-alkali-electrolysis according to the membrane or diaphragm process
Chemical Resistance
Carbo filter elements are resistant against hot and cold acids and alkaline solutions in the range from pH 0 to pH 14. They have limited resistance against strongly oxidizing liquids. Water vapor can be filtered, and back-washing of the filter media is possible. Carbo filter elements show excellent resistance against salt solutions.
Operating limits
- Maximum Temperature Resistance:
- Oxidizing Atmosphere: 200 °C
- Reducing Atmosphere: 1000 °C
