Where It's Used
Applications & Industries
Water, RO & desalination

High-volume prefiltration ahead of reverse osmosis, desalination and process water systems — large surface area keeps ΔP low and extends membrane life.

Liquid hub →
Power & electronics process water

Listed duty per the PF-UF datasheet — high-flow polypropylene prefiltration for power-plant and electronics ultrapure-water intake trains.

Liquid hub →
Food & Beverage prefilter

Meets EC 1935/2004 food-contact requirements — a membrane pre-filter or a final polishing filter where membrane filtration is not required, on F&B lines.

Food & Beverage →
Chemicals, coolants & waste water

Excellent chemical compatibility from 100% thermal-bonded PP construction — listed duty for chemical processing, coolant and waste-water streams.
