Sartorius Lab Instruments GmbH & Co. KG Aerosart Airfilter Cartridges 5152507T3---E--C

Aerosart Air filter Cartridge for Industrial Applications Aerosart high performance air filter cartridges can significantly reduce operating costs. The Aerosart is a high flow rate, low differential pressure, hydrophobic membrane filter. The unique single layer filter construction also reduces Blow-Down-time. Both the high flow rate and the short Blow-Downtime lowers the energy cost of air supply operations. Applications The Aerosart is designed for large-scale fermentation inlet and exhaust gas filtration. Microbiological Safety Aerosart filter cartridges have been tested and passed aerosol bacterial and viral challenge tests. Tests were conducted using MS-2 coli phages (NCIMB 10 108) and B. subtilis var. niger spores (NCTC 10073) at a challenge level of greater than 2.5 + 107 under worst case conditions of greater than 90% RH. No MS-2 coli phages or B. subtilis spores were detected on the downstream side of the Aerosart filter cartridges. Performance The unique single layer pleated filter construction of the highly hydrophobic PTFE membrane provides low differential pressures, excellent flow rates and the fastest blow down times of any gas service filter. Long Service Life Time The mechanical and thermal stresses experienced during steam in place sterilization pose the highest risk to any filter cartridge. In many cases, Aerosart filter cartridges will be used for more the 120 steaming cycles. Tests have shown Aerosart cartridges to pass integrity tests with up to 150 steaming cycles.
