Eaton Optimizes Its Extensive Program of Filter Cartridges

Strong performance, best product quality and rapid availability –the demands on solutions for filtration processes are high in all industries. Eaton understands the industry-specific characteristics of the markets and is now evolving its filter cartridge portfolio to better align with market needs. Also, delivery times for ideal supply have also been significantly reduced.

The expanded portfolio includes four filter cartridge types:

• Meltblown depth filter cartridges: Wide range of applications for the retention of contaminants across a broad spectrum of particle sizes. Depending on the application, they effectively remove particles based on specific pore sizes.

• Pleated filter cartridges: With their large filter surface area, they are particularly suitable for retention with a uniform grain size distribution.

• Membrane filter cartridges: These are used for filtration according to absolute retention rates.

• Metal filter cartridges: Solutions are particularly suitable for applications with very high temperatures.

“The filter cartridge most suitable for an application depends heavily on the process media, the specific application conditions as well as the requests of the operator,” explained Ulrich Latz, Global Industrial Filtration Product Manager at Eaton. “For example, in the area of water, chemical, and paint and coatings filtration, meltblown depth filter cartridges made of polypropylene and polyamide serve as pre-filters to separate particles with different size distributions. However, for water and other applications where high flow rates are required, pleated high-flow filter cartridges with absolute retention efficiency are more suitable.”

Broad product portfolio and application-specific service: To always provide users with the best filtration solution for their needs, Eaton filter cartridges are available with the following common adapter codes:

• Code 1, 2, 3, 4: single open end with different adapters

• Code DOE, (), G: double open end with or without end caps or with flat gaskets

• Code M1, M2: single open end with threaded ends for porous titanium filter c, cartridges

Eaton also offers applicable filter cartridge housings. “Just like the filter cartridges, the cartridge housings must also fit the respective application. We support operators with industry know-how and local expert service,” added Latz.

Eaton’s filter cartridges for industrial processes include the LOFTREX, LOFPLEAT, LOFMEM and LOFMET product series. They are consistently highperforming and economical solutions for general and demanding industrial applications. www.eaton.com

QUA Group Expands Water Treatment Offering

QUA Group, a leading innovator in advanced membrane solutions for water treatment applications, recently introduced three advanced membrane technologies to diversify its product line.

• FEDI® GIGA: Revolutionary High Flow Electrodeionization Technology

FEDI GIGA is a next-generation Fractional Electrodeionization (FEDI) technology engineered for high-flow ultrapure water production with minimal space requirements. Its unique port design reduces associated piping and instruments, featuring one inlet and two outlet ports. It is the first electrodeionization stack with just three ports – feed, product and reject. FEDI GIGA consistently delivers highpurity product water, effectively removing hardness, silica, and boron. This environmentally friendly technology is most suitable for larger flow applications in industries such as semiconductors, microelectronics, hydrogen, solar, power, and refining, offering high flows with reduced footprint demands.

• EnviQ® RF: Simplifying Membrane Bioreactor Facilities Operations

EnviQ RF is a submerged ultrafiltration membrane designed to enhance membrane bioreactor (MBR) facility operation and maintenance. This addition to QUA’s EnviQ product line features durable PVDF hollow fiber membranes with a unique airflow distribution design. It ensures consistent, high-quality ultrafiltration effluent thanks to its reinforced PVDF membrane fibers with high mechanical strength and tolerance to chlorine and chemicals. EnviQ RF’s compact and adaptable design is ideal for handling high-feed turbidity across challenging wastewater applications.

• Q-SEP ® Q-Connect™ Outside-In Ultrafiltration Modules Series

Q-SEP Q-Connect offers a pre-engineered outside-in ultrafiltration rack solution with a reduced footprint, high flow, ease of installation, efficient delivery, and containerization ability. Suitable for industrial and municipal water and wastewater treatment applications requiring ultrafiltrationquality water with a Silt Density Index (SDI) <3, Q-Connect is a versatile solution meeting diverse customer requirements. www.quagroup.com
