Product Description
Pentair Aqualine Water Filter ALN01‑60B is the flagship 1 μm nominal disposable pleated filter cartridge of Pentair Aqualine high‑flow filtration portfolioATS Water. Standard dimension is 60‑inch length with 6.75‑inch outer diameter, single open‑end configuration specially engineered for heavy‑duty high‑flow industrial water‑treatment conditions. The whole cartridge adopts full polypropylene construction, including reinforced inner‑outer support cages, cross‑linked gradient pleated polypropylene media, injection‑molded reinforced end caps, PVC core and elastic Buna‑N O‑ring sealing gasketsATS Water. All joints are completed by thermal fusion welding without adhesive, eliminating hidden risks of glue dissolution and secondary contamination to process fluid.
This ALN01‑60B cartridge applies mature outside‑in flow configuration. Its proprietary PolyForm cross‑linked polypropylene media forms locked‑pore structure, delivering stable 1‑micron nominal interception performance with Beta ratio above 5000ATS Water .... Dense deep‑pleated layout greatly expands effective filtration area, achieving remarkable single‑element flow capacity when compared with conventional small‑diameter wound filter cartridges. It can efficiently capture fine particles escaping multimedia filtration and activated carbon units, stably controlling feed‑water SDI value below 5 and satisfying strict inlet requirements of seawater reverse osmosis systems.
Built‑in integral molded handle simplifies on‑site extraction and replacement without extra auxiliary fixtures. Multiple ALN01‑60B cartridges can be installed in parallel inside Aqualine‑style horizontal filter housings, greatly reducing total cartridge quantity and minimizing pretreatment equipment footprint. Pentair Aqualine Water Filter ALN01‑60B is widely deployed in seawater desalination pretreatment, boiler feed‑water filtration, petrochemical process‑liquid purification, industrial reclaimed‑water reuse and electronic ultrapure‑water production. System integrators and end‑users select this cartridge for new skid‑mounted water‑treatment systems as well as daily spare‑part renewal.
Working Principle
Pentair Aqualine Water Filter ALN01‑60B operates based on outside‑in cross‑flow microfiltration mechanism. Untreated raw liquid enters the closed filter housing and flows toward the outer surface of pleated filter media. Suspended particles, sediment and colloidal impurities are captured on the outer surface and inner gradient layers of cross‑linked polypropylene media. Purified liquid penetrates filter layers, converges inside the central PVC support core and flows out as qualified filtrate toward downstream RO or UF membrane equipmentATS Water .
Gradient layered media realizes outer‑coarse‑inner‑fine depth filtration, significantly improving dirt‑holding capacity and slowing differential‑pressure rising speed. During long‑term continuous running, intercepted pollutants accumulate gradually, leading to slow growth of inlet‑outlet differential pressure. Operators need to replace the cartridge once differential pressure reaches 25‑30 PSID threshold to restore system water throughputATS Water .
Polypropylene raw material provides excellent chemical compatibility, compatible with neutral aqueous liquid and regular acid‑base cleaning solutions for filter‑housing maintenance. Rigid reinforced support cages prevent medium deformation under high‑speed water‑flow impact, avoid fluid bypass and guarantee stable particle‑interception efficiency throughout the whole service life. The maximum continuous operating temperature for standard ALN01‑60B is 54.4 °C (130 °F)ATS Water .
