HFU660UY700J Water Treatment Filter Element Product Specification

Product Introduction

The HFU660UY700J is a heavy-duty ultra-coarse polypropylene (PP) pleated filter cartridge engineered for mega-scale industrial and municipal water treatment pre-filtration processes. Manufactured with high-strength, high-density PP non-woven filter media and a reinforced pleated structure with maximized filtration surface area, this product is dedicated to intercepting extra-large suspended solids, gravel, rock debris, metal scraps, and bulky organic waste from ultra-high-volume water streams. As a critical first-stage filtration component, it acts as a robust protective barrier for downstream precision equipment including fine filter cartridges, reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, ultrafiltration (UF) membranes, pumps, and heat exchangers. It effectively reduces the risk of severe pipeline blockage, equipment abrasion, and premature failure, making it a high-performance, cost-effective solution for large-scale raw water intake and heavy-industry wastewater treatment scenarios where large debris removal is the core priority.

Filtration Precision

The HFU660UY700J features a nominal filtration precision of 700 microns, with a particle capture rate of over 99.8% for contaminants of 700 microns and above. This ultra-coarse filtration grade is optimized for ultra-high-flow, heavy-duty water treatment scenarios. The uniform large-pore structure of the PP media ensures minimal flow resistance, allowing ultra-high water throughput while reliably blocking the largest and most destructive particles in the water. This precision achieves an optimal balance between efficient large-debris removal and flow efficiency, making it ideal for systems that prioritize maximum volume over fine particle control.

Flux

Under standard operating conditions (25℃ ambient temperature and 0.2MPa inlet pressure), the HFU660UY700J delivers a stable water flux of 450–500 L/min. Its ultra-large pore size and expanded pleated surface area minimize flow friction and pressure loss, enabling it to handle continuous ultra-high-volume water flow without compromising filtration stability. This high-flux performance makes it suitable for mega-scale water treatment projects, such as large municipal raw water intake plants, heavy mining wastewater treatment systems, and large petrochemical circulating water pre-filtration lines.

Salt Rejection Rate

As an ultra-coarse physical filtration cartridge, the HFU660UY700J has no desalination capability. Its salt rejection rate is less than 1%, which means it cannot intercept any dissolved inorganic salts, ions, or small-molecule organic compounds in water. The product’s core function is strictly limited to the separation of large, insoluble particulate impurities, rather than chemical purification, salinity reduction, or water softening processes.

Pressure Drop

The initial pressure drop of the HFU660UY700J is ≤0.005MPa when operating at the rated flux. During prolonged use, the pressure drop will gradually increase as large impurities accumulate on the filter surface. When the pressure drop reaches 0.1MPa, it is recommended to replace the filter cartridge promptly. Delayed replacement may lead to significant system flow reduction, pipeline pressure fluctuations, increased energy consumption of upstream pumps, or even pump burnout due to excessive resistance.

Molecular Weight Cutoff (MWCO)

The molecular weight cutoff of the HFU660UY700J is 1,200,000 Dalton. This parameter indicates that the filter cartridge can effectively retain macromolecular substances with a molecular weight of 1,200,000 Dalton and above, including large colloidal aggregates, industrial sludge clumps, and bulky organic debris. Meanwhile, water molecules, dissolved minerals, and small-molecule organic substances can pass through the filter media unimpeded, ensuring maximum flow efficiency and minimizing the energy consumption of the entire water treatment system.

Membrane Thickness

The polypropylene filter membrane of the HFU660UY700J has a thickness of 0.9–1.0 mm. This thickened membrane design, combined with a reinforced inner and outer support frame, significantly enhances the mechanical strength, impact resistance, and abrasion resistance of the cartridge. It enables the filter to withstand the collision and friction of large, hard particles such as gravel, metal scraps, and rock debris in the water, effectively preventing membrane rupture or deformation during long-term operation in harsh working conditions.

Replacement Cycle

The recommended replacement cycle of the HFU660UY700J is 3–6 months, which varies depending on the actual water turbidity and impurity size of the application site. In extremely high-turbidity water systems (suspended solids content >300mg/L) with a large amount of gravel or metal scraps, the replacement cycle should be shortened to 4–6 weeks to avoid severe clogging and system downtime. In low-turbidity systems (suspended solids content <25mg/L) with only small amounts of large particles, the cycle can be appropriately extended to 6–8 months with regular high-pressure backwashing maintenance.
