Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Membrane Filter Cartridge?
A membrane filter cartridge is a precision filtration device that uses polyethersulfone (PES), PTFE, PVDF, or Nylon membranes to remove particles as small as 0.02 µm from liquids.

- Lengths: 10″, 20″, 30″, 40″
- Membrane types: Polyethersulfone (PES), PTFE, PVDF, Nylon, PBT, Glass Fiber, PFA
- Efficiency: Up to 99.99% particle removal
- Quality control: 100% integrity tested before delivery
How is a Membrane Filter Cartridge classified?
Membrane filter cartridges are classified by membrane material and application grade:
By membrane material:
- Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane filter cartridge — pharmaceutical sterilization, biotech, general high-purity liquid filtration
- PTFE membrane filter cartridge — corrosive solvents, acids, high-temperature gas filtration
- Hydrophilic PVDF membrane filter cartridge — low protein adsorption, biologics, aggressive aqueous solutions
- Nylon membrane filter cartridge — aqueous solutions, mild solvents, cost-effective sterile filtration
- PFA membrane filter cartridge — semiconductor ultra-pure water, aggressive chemical processes
- PBT polyester membrane filter cartridge — high-temperature applications up to 120°C
- Glass Fiber membrane filter cartridge — high dirt-load liquid prefiltration and gas filtration
What is the structure of a Membrane Filter Cartridge?
A membrane filter cartridge consists of four main components: outer cage (support frame), filter membrane (filtration layer), end caps (sealing), and sealing rings (gasket). All components use thermal welding without adhesives to prevent contamination.
Material compatibility:
- Standard applications: Polypropylene (PP) cage and end caps
- Corrosive chemicals: PVDF or PFA cage and end caps required
- Chemical resistance: PP withstands general acids/alkalis but NOT strong organic solvents like acetone or chloroform
Connection / End Cap Styles: DOE (Double Open End), 222 O-ring, 222 Fin, 226 O-ring, 226 Fin. Connection style must match your filter housing — confirm before ordering. Custom configurations are available.
Why do you need a Membrane Filter Cartridge?
You need a membrane filter cartridge when raw water quality doesn’t meet purity requirements. Sources like seawater, surface water, or tap water contain particles, bacteria, and colloids that require filtration down to 0.1-1μm for pharmaceutical, electronics, or food production use.
Key benefits:
- Remove bacteria and particles from 0.02 µm — suitable for pharmaceutical-grade sterile filtration
- Achieve up to 99.99% particle interception efficiency
- Handle corrosive chemicals across a full pH range of 1–14 (acids, alkalis, solvents)
- FDA-compliant options available for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Ensure batch-to-batch product quality in regulated production environments
How does a Membrane Filter Cartridge work?
Membrane filter cartridges work by applying pressure to force liquid through a multi-layer membrane with gradient pore sizes (coarse to fine). Particles larger than the rated micron size are trapped in the membrane layers, while clean liquid passes through.
Working principle:
- Liquid enters under pressure (0.5-4 bar)
- Gradient membrane traps particles layer by layer
- Contaminants stay upstream, clean water exits downstream
- Multi-layer design extends filter life
Result: Up to 99.99% particle removal with absolute-rated filtration.
For feeds with high particle loads, a melt blown filter cartridge or pleated filter cartridge is often installed upstream as a pre-filter to extend membrane service life.
What are the advantages of a Membrane Filter Cartridge?
Membrane filter cartridges offer high precision (0.1-10μm), 99.99% filtration efficiency, wide chemical compatibility (pH 1-14), and long service life. They’re 100% integrity tested, easy to install, and cost-effective for pharmaceutical, electronics, and food applications.
Key advantages:
- High efficiency: 99.99% absolute-rated particle removal
- Chemical resistant: pH 1-14, handles acids/alkalis/solvents
- Temperature tolerant: Up to 90°C for standard variants; up to 120°C for PBT polyester membrane filter cartridges
- Long lifespan: High dirt holding capacity reduces change-outs
- Quality assured: 100% integrity tested before delivery
- Low maintenance: Easy replacement, minimal downtime
What is the production process of a Membrane Filter Cartridge?
The production process involves 7 steps: pleating membrane material → seaming with ultrasonic welding → installing outer frame tube → cutting excess material → welding end caps → installing seal rings → packaging in clean room.
Production steps:
- Pleating: Membrane material pleated to precise height and corrugation count
- Seaming: Ultrasonic welding joins the middle seam (no adhesives)
- Install tube: Pleated membrane inserted into outer frame
- Cutting: Excess material trimmed to specification
- Welding end cap: Thermal welding seals end caps
- Install seal ring: Gasket installed for housing compatibility
- Packaging: Sealed in plastic bags, packed in cartons
Quality control: Produced in 100,000-level clean room; 100% integrity tested for sterilizing-grade filters.
