Multifunctional High Flow Bio‑X Filter Cartridges for Ultrafiltration Pretreatment
High‑flow bio‑x filter cartridges are multi‑functional biological filter consumables built for the pre‑treatment workflow of industrial ultrafiltration equipment. The full‑set water‑treatment pipeline system equips the matched industrial liquid filter to trap bulky coarse‑grained pollutants and construct multi‑level gradient filtration to reduce contamination burden; our mature filter‑element product lineup includes ALN05‑60B High Flow Pleated Cartridge Filter, AQUALINE ALN01‑60B High Flow Pleated Water Cartridge Filter, EQUIVALENT ALN01‑60B High Flow Pleated Water Filter Cartridge and Condensed Water Filter Element for Industrial Ultrafiltration, compatible with mainstream hollow‑fiber and tubular ultrafiltration membrane assemblies. These bio‑x cartridges combine physical screening and microbial biodegradation to cut down dissolved organic pollutants, algae and suspended solids and shield ultrafiltration membranes against bio‑fouling. This guide covers product features, collaborative operating principle with ultrafiltration devices, detailed technical indexes, strict quality‑management standards and broad industrial application scenarios of high‑flow bio‑x filter cartridges. Water‑treatment contractors, on‑site water‑station staff and overseas filter wholesalers can choose standard‑size cartridges or customize filter medium, pore size and end‑cap styles to lower the long‑term running expense of ultrafiltration plants.

1. Product Introduction of High‑Flow Bio‑X Filter Cartridges
High‑flow bio‑x filter cartridges are composite‑type biological filter cartridges installed in stainless‑steel filter housings and used as the core pretreatment safeguard of industrial ultrafiltration water‑treatment systems. Unlike conventional common pleated filter cartridges that only rely on physical interception, the Bio‑X cartridge integrates folded polypropylene filter medium and porous biological carrier. Beneficial microorganisms attach to the carrier surface and decompose dissolved organic contaminants in raw‑water, which greatly slows down bio‑fouling on expensive ultra‑filtration membrane surfaces.
Raw‑water sources such as river water, underground well‑water, aquaculture circulating water, factory recycled wastewater and landscape water contain silt, oily particles, colloids, algae and soluble organic substances. Without the protection from high‑flow bio‑x filter cartridges, organic pollutants will adhere firmly to the membrane surface, shorten membrane service life and raise the frequency of chemical cleaning for ultrafiltration machines.
Raw‑water first gets coarse impurity removal from the upstream liquid filter. After preliminary filtration, water flows into the filter housing and receives composite physical‑biological purification from our bio‑x cartridges. Multiple interchangeable filter‑element selections are prepared for different ultrafiltration working‑conditions:
Standard industrial ultrafiltration safety filtration: ALN05‑60B High Flow Pleated Cartridge Filter
Large‑flux circulating‑water ultrafiltration projects: AQUALINE ALN01‑60B High Flow Pleated Water Cartridge Filter
Replacement for imported filter‑element parts: EQUIVALENT ALN01‑60B High Flow Pleated Water Filter Cartridge
Thermal‑power‑plant condensate‑water treatment: Condensed Water Filter Element for Industrial Ultrafiltration
Each high‑flow bio‑x filter cartridge consists of multi‑layer pleated filter cloth, porous biological microbial carrier, rigid inner support skeleton, injection‑molded end‑caps and elastic EPDM sealing rings. Expanded folded surfaces enlarge the effective filtering area, and porous carriers provide abundant attachment sites for microbes. The product supports 226‑fin bayonet and flat‑end‑cap installation modes and fits most international‑standard high‑flow filter housings. Every finished‑product cartridge passes bubble‑point inspection, air‑tightness testing and biological‑activity detection before factory shipment. Our factory provides bulk‑stock supply and non‑standard customization service for ultrafiltration‑system parameters.
2. Working Principle: Collaborative Filtration With Ultrafiltration Equipment
The full water‑purification workflow adopts three‑stage progressive filtration: liquid‑filter coarse filtration → high‑flow bio‑x filter cartridges composite biological‑physical filtration → ultrafiltration‑membrane deep separation. The folded filter medium completes physical screening and inertial sedimentation for suspended particles; microorganisms fixed on the Bio‑X carrier break down soluble organic pollutants.
2.1 Long‑Time Stable Filtration Operation
After coarse screening of the upstream liquid filter, raw‑water flows inward from the outer folded layer of the cartridge. Large suspended particles are trapped on the outer filter surface, fine‑sized particles are blocked by dense filter cloth, and organic pollutants are biodegraded. Purified water flows through the central water‑collecting pipeline and enters the ultrafiltration‑membrane module. The ultrafiltration membrane intercepts residual bacteria, macromolecular colloids and micro‑fine suspended solids. Thanks to the huge effective filtering area, bio‑x filter cartridges keep stable low pressure‑drop during long‑time high‑speed water flow and guarantee steady water supply for continuous ultrafiltration water‑making.
2.2 Differential‑Pressure Reminder For Cartridge Replacement
Impurities will accumulate on the folded filter‑layer in continuous operation, and then raise the inlet‑outlet pressure‑difference. Operators need to replace the bio‑x filter cartridges promptly once the pressure‑difference reaches the warning threshold of 0.25 MPa. Blocked cartridges will increase water‑pump load, reduce ultrafiltration water‑yield and accelerate biological contamination of ultrafiltration membranes.
2.3 Cooperation With Ultrafiltration Back‑Washing System
Water treated by high‑flow bio‑x filter cartridges works as the back‑flush water source for ultrafiltration‑membrane assemblies. After mixing with compressed air, gas‑water mixed liquid washes away surface‑stuck pollutants, delays membrane fouling and extends the chemical‑cleaning cycle of ultrafiltration equipment.

FAQ
Q1: What competitive advantages do high‑flow bio‑x filter cartridges bring for ultrafiltration‑membrane devices?
A: They combine physical particle interception and microbial organic degradation, reduce dissolved organic substances in raw‑water, slow down ultrafiltration‑membrane bio‑fouling, cut chemical‑cleaning frequency and prolong membrane service life.
Q2: Can you customize high‑flow bio‑x filter cartridges for my existing ultrafiltration‑system?
A: Yes. Our technical workers adjust cartridge length, filtration precision, filter‑medium material and end‑cap structure based on on‑site water quality, pipeline flow and filter‑housing parameters.
Q3: What is the regular replacement cycle for high‑flow bio‑x filter cartridges?
A: The replacement cycle lasts 1‑3 months with stable clean inlet‑water. High‑organic, high‑turbidity sewage speeds‑up cartridge clogging and shortens service life.
Q4: Why install a liquid filter on the upstream pipeline of bio‑x filter cartridges?
A: The upstream liquid filter intercepts gravel, rust chunks and rigid coarse particles, prevents hard particles from scratching the folded filter cloth and fragile biological carrier, delays clogging and builds dual‑stage protection for downstream ultrafiltration‑membranes.
Q5: What factors will trigger early‑time clogging for high‑flow bio‑x filter cartridges?
A: Excessive organic and suspended‑solid concentration of inlet‑water, upstream liquid‑filter breakdown, long‑term over‑rated‑flow running and improperly‑selected filtration precision will lead‑to fast pressure‑difference rise and premature blockage.
Q6: Can multiple bio‑x filter cartridges run in parallel on large‑scale industrial ultrafiltration‑machines?
A: Parallel installation is fully supported. Multiple cartridges work together inside large‑size filter housings and deliver steady large‑flow pretreated feed‑water for heavy‑duty ultrafiltration‑equipment, widely used in aquaculture, municipal water‑recycling and industrial‑wastewater‑treatment sectors.
