Aqualine Liquid Cartridge for Industrial Ultrafiltration Pretreatment Systems
This article introduces Aqualine Liquid Cartridge, a high-performance filter element for industrial ultrafiltration pretreatment. A liquid filter optimized for high throughput liquid purification, it intercepts suspended solids, colloids and silt to protect downstream ultrafiltration membrane modules. Our Aqualine Liquid Cartridge can replace Replace Pall MCC1401E100H13 High Flow for Ultrafiltration, widely applied in desalination, power plant condensate and industrial water reuse projects. It minimizes filter housing count and cuts down operational expenses for large-scale water treatment systems.
The Aqualine Liquid Cartridge is a pleated high flow filter cartridge designed for liquid filtration and ultrafiltration pre-treatment in industrial water treatment. Built with polypropylene pleated media, this cartridge delivers exceptional dirt holding capacity and high single-element flow rate, which makes it a perfect upgrade for conventional standard-size filter cartridges. In large water treatment facilities, replacing multiple small filter cartridges with Aqualine Liquid Cartridge greatly reduces the number of filter housings, simplifies pipeline layout and lowers the workload of routine filter replacement.
This filter cartridge is fully interchangeable with HFU640GF200H13 high flow filter cartridge, and compatible with the specifications of Pall Cartridge Filter for Industrial Liquid Pretreatment & Membrane Protection. Installed as the security pre-filter before ultrafiltration membrane units, it removes sediment, algae, fine suspended particles and organic debris from raw water. Without this prefiltration barrier, these contaminants will scratch the membrane surface, block membrane pores and cause irreversible fouling on ultrafiltration membranes. Severe membrane fouling will reduce water flux, increase chemical cleaning frequency and shorten the service life of expensive ultrafiltration modules. Therefore, adopting high-quality Aqualine Liquid Cartridge is a cost-effective way to stabilize the whole ultrafiltration system. For users who need shorter-size high flow filter elements in skid-mounted equipment, you can choose PFTM12UEPFB high flow filter cartridge as an alternative filtration solution.
Constructed with reinforced polypropylene inner core and outer support cage, the Aqualine Liquid Cartridge can withstand fluctuating pressure during continuous operation. The pleated filter media adopts gradient density structure, which achieves high contaminant retention capacity while maintaining low pressure drop. Multiple micron grades from 1μm to 100μm are available to match different raw water quality requirements. EPDM, silicone and Viton sealing gaskets are optional to adapt to different water temperature and liquid medium conditions. It is widely recognized as a reliable pre-filter option for ultrafiltration systems in multiple industrial sectors.
The Aqualine Liquid Cartridge adopts pleated depth filtration principle, combining surface screening and deep adsorption filtration. Raw water flows radially from the outer surface of the pleated filter media, passes through multi-layer graded polypropylene filter material, and clean liquid flows inward into the central inner core and discharges out from the end of the cartridge.
Large particles such as sand, rust and plankton are trapped on the outer pleated surface. Fine colloids and tiny suspended impurities are captured inside the graded filter layers. The gradient density structure allows contaminants to be distributed evenly throughout the whole filter media, instead of accumulating only on the outer surface. This design greatly improves dirt holding capacity and extends filter service cycle, avoiding rapid pressure rise in a short time.
In ultrafiltration pretreatment process, the Aqualine Liquid Cartridge acts as the first critical protective barrier for UF membranes. It controls SDI value of inlet water and reduces the particulate load entering ultrafiltration modules. When the pressure difference between inlet and outlet reaches the preset threshold, the filter cartridge needs to be replaced. The quick-open filter housing design helps operators finish cartridge replacement rapidly, minimizing downtime for continuous water treatment production.

All parameters are tested under standard laboratory conditions. Actual flow and holding capacity will be affected by raw water turbidity, temperature and impurity concentration. Our engineering team can customize micron rating, end cap connection and gasket material according to your on-site ultrafiltration project requirements.
All Aqualine Liquid Cartridge products are manufactured under ISO9001 quality management system. Raw filter media will be strictly inspected before production to check for pinholes, uneven thickness and material defects. Every finished filter cartridge will go through bubble point integrity test, pressure resistance test and full visual inspection before shipment.
Automated pleating equipment ensures consistent pleat density for each filter element, guaranteeing stable flow performance and dirt holding capacity. Reinforced inner core prevents media collapse under variable operating pressure, which is a common failure mode of low-cost high flow filters. All filter cartridges are cleaned and packed in dust-free workshop to avoid secondary contamination before delivery.
We provide batch inspection reports for each order. Third-party material testing can be arranged upon customer request. Our replacement filter elements deliver equivalent filtration performance as famous brand cartridges, with better overall cost performance. If you want to learn more about cross-brand replacement filter technology, read The Significance of Equivalent High Flow Water Filter Elements. Our products are fully tested to prevent media shedding, which is essential to avoid secondary contamination to ultrafiltration membrane modules.
This is the core application. Aqualine Liquid Cartridge serves as security filter before ultrafiltration membrane units in municipal water treatment and industrial water reuse projects. It removes particles and colloids, stabilizes inlet SDI, protects UF membranes and reduces chemical cleaning frequency.
In desalination plants, this liquid cartridge filters raw seawater, intercepts sea sand, algae and suspended solids, to protect ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes in the pretreatment skid.
Power plants use Aqualine Liquid Cartridge for condensate polishing, removing iron oxide and particulate impurities, protecting boiler and downstream membrane systems.
For chemical, food and beverage wastewater recycling, it works as pre-filter for ultrafiltration systems, lowering pollutant load and improving water recovery rate.
Large municipal waterworks deploy this filter for raw water purification, acting as pretreatment for ultrafiltration drinking water production.
A: It is the security pre-filter for ultrafiltration equipment. It intercepts suspended particles, silt and colloids, reduces SDI value of incoming water, prevents fouling and mechanical scratch damage to ultrafiltration membranes, and extends the service life of UF modules.
A: It features high single-element flow rate and large dirt holding capacity. For the same water throughput, fewer filter cartridges and filter housings are needed. It saves installation space, reduces equipment investment and cuts down filter replacement workload.
A: Yes. Polypropylene media has good salt tolerance. We can select matched sealing gaskets according to your seawater salinity and temperature. You can send your water quality report for our professional compatibility assessment.
A: 5μm or 10μm are the most popular options for ultrafiltration pretreatment. If raw water contains large amount of coarse sediment, 20μm or 40μm is recommended. Our technical team will provide customized suggestions based on your water test data.
A: Replacement cycle depends on raw water impurity load. Normally, replace the cartridge when inlet-outlet differential pressure reaches 2.5 bar. In general industrial water projects, its service life ranges from 1 to 3 months.
A: Yes. We support custom end cap connection styles and multiple gasket materials including EPDM, silicone and Viton to fit your existing filter housing and working medium.
