High Flow Series Filter Element for Industrial Ultrafiltration Pretreatment
This article introduces High Flow Series Filter Element, a high-performance filter cartridge for industrial ultrafiltration pretreatment. A liquid filter engineered for high-volume water purification, it intercepts suspended solids, colloids and silt particles to protect downstream ultrafiltration membrane modules. Our High Flow Series Filter Element can replace Replace Pall MCC1401E100H13 High Flow for Ultrafiltration, widely used in seawater desalination, power plant condensate treatment and industrial water reuse projects. It reduces filter housing quantity and optimizes the long-term operating cost of large water treatment systems.
High Flow Series Filter Element is a pleated polypropylene high-flow filter cartridge specially developed for ultrafiltration pre-treatment and industrial liquid purification. Unlike traditional standard filter cartridges with limited single-element flow, this high flow series adopts deep pleated media structure, which greatly expands the effective filtration area. One single high flow series filter element can replace multiple conventional small filter cartridges, so the total number of filter housings can be drastically reduced for large water treatment projects. This feature simplifies pipeline layout, saves equipment investment and lowers the workload of regular filter replacement and maintenance.
This filter element 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 skids, it removes sediment, algae, fine suspended particles and organic debris from raw water. Without this prefiltration protection, these contaminants will scratch membrane surfaces, block membrane pores and trigger irreversible fouling on ultrafiltration membranes. Severe membrane fouling will lead to continuous permeate flux decline, more frequent chemical cleaning cycles and premature replacement of expensive UF membrane modules. Therefore, selecting reliable High Flow Series Filter Element is one of the most economical ways to stabilize the whole ultrafiltration system. For compact skid-mounted water treatment equipment with shorter length requirements, customers can select PFTM12UEPFB high flow filter cartridge as an alternative filtration option.
The High Flow Series Filter Element adopts reinforced polypropylene inner core and outer support cage, which can endure fluctuating differential pressure under continuous operating conditions. The pleated filter media is made of gradient-density polypropylene material, achieving high dirt holding capacity while maintaining low pressure drop. Multiple micron grades ranging from 1μm to 100μm are available to adapt to different raw water quality requirements. EPDM, silicone and Viton sealing gaskets are optional to match different liquid temperature and medium conditions. It has become a mainstream pre-filter choice for ultrafiltration systems in many industrial sectors.
High Flow Series Filter Element operates based on pleated depth filtration mechanism, combining surface screening and deep adsorption filtration. Raw water flows radially from the outer surface of the pleated filter media, penetrates multi-layer graded polypropylene filter material, and the purified liquid flows inward into the central inner core and discharges out from the end port of the filter cartridge.
Large impurities such as sand, rust and marine plankton are trapped on the outer pleated surface. Fine colloids and tiny suspended particles are captured inside the graded filter layers. The gradient density structure allows contaminants to be evenly distributed throughout the whole filter media, instead of accumulating only on the outermost layer. This unique design maximizes dirt holding capacity and extends filter service cycle, preventing rapid pressure rise within a short operation period.
In the ultrafiltration pretreatment workflow, High Flow Series Filter Element acts as the first critical protective barrier for UF membranes. It controls the Silt Density Index (SDI) of inlet water and reduces particulate load entering ultrafiltration modules. When the pressure difference between inlet and outlet reaches the preset threshold, the filter cartridge needs to be replaced. Quick-open filter housing design allows operators to finish cartridge replacement quickly, minimizing downtime for continuous water treatment production.

All parameters are tested under standard laboratory conditions. Actual flow rate and dirt 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 High Flow Series Filter Element products are manufactured under ISO9001 quality management system. Raw filter media will be strictly inspected before production to check 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. High Flow Series Filter Element 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 filter element filters raw seawater, intercepts sea sand, algae and suspended solids, to protect ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes in the pretreatment skid.
Power plants use High Flow Series Filter Element 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.
