HP3202A10ANP01 Water Treatment Product Detailed Description

Product Introduction

HP3202A10ANP01 is a heavy-duty high-flow pleated filter cartridge, engineered for large-scale industrial water treatment and critical fluid pre-filtration scenarios. It adopts a borosilicate glass fiber-polypropylene composite filter medium, paired with a corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel inner support frame and a high-seal PTFE gasket to ensure structural integrity under high-pressure and high-flow conditions. With a standard outer diameter of 4.5 inches (114mm) and a nominal length of 20 inches (508mm), the cartridge features an optimized pleat density design that maximizes effective filtration area while minimizing flow resistance. Manufactured via precision ultrasonic welding, it eliminates adhesive leakage risks and complies with international standards including FDA, NSF/ANSI 61, and ISO 9001. This product is dedicated to removing fine suspended solids, colloidal particles, and microbial aggregates from large-flow water systems, providing reliable protection for downstream equipment such as reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, ultrafiltration (UF) modules, and industrial heat exchangers.

Filtration Precision

The standard filtration precision of HP3202A10ANP01 is 10μm, which can achieve 99.95% interception efficiency for particles of 10μm and above under rated operating conditions. For customized application needs, it can be tailored to precision levels ranging from 1μm to 25μm, covering ultra-fine filtration demands for high-purity industrial water and coarse filtration requirements for wastewater pretreatment. This precise grading capability ensures consistent filtrate quality across diverse large-flow water treatment systems, preventing fine particulate abrasion and clogging of core downstream equipment.

Flux

Flux is a core competitive advantage of HP3202A10ANP01. Under standard test conditions (25°C, clean water, 1.5 bar operating pressure), the cartridge delivers a stable high flux of 25–30 m³/h. This superior flux performance stems from its composite filter medium and high pleat density (100 pleats per linear foot), which reduces flow resistance and improves water permeability. Compared with conventional 10μm filter cartridges of the same size, it can increase water throughput by 30% while maintaining filtration efficiency, thus reducing the number of parallel cartridges required in large-flow systems and saving installation space.

Salt Rejection Rate

As a particulate filtration cartridge, HP3202A10ANP01 is not designed for desalination functions, so its salt rejection rate is negligible, generally below 1.2%. Its core function is to remove physical impurities rather than dissolved ionic substances in water. In integrated water treatment systems, it serves as a critical pre-treatment component, preventing fine colloidal particles and microbial contaminants from adhering to the surface of RO membranes or blocking membrane pores, thereby ensuring the stable high salt rejection rate (97–99.5%) of downstream desalination equipment.

Pressure Drop

The initial pressure drop of HP3202A10ANP01 at rated flow and 20°C is only 0.04–0.06 bar, which is 25% lower than that of traditional glass fiber filter cartridges of the same specification. As the filtration process proceeds and impurities accumulate on the filter medium surface, the pressure drop will gradually rise. The recommended maximum allowable pressure drop for replacement is 2.0 bar. Maintaining a low pressure drop minimizes the energy consumption of system water pumps, reduces pipeline operating pressure, and extends the service life of the entire water treatment system.

Molecular Weight Cutoff (MWCO)

Since HP3202A10ANP01 relies on particle size-based filtration rather than molecular separation, its molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) is not a core technical parameter and lacks precise calibration. In practical applications, it can roughly intercept macromolecular substances with a molecular weight of 150,000–250,000 Daltons, such as large colloidal organic matter, microbial flocs, and polymer additives in water. However, it has no interception effect on small-molecular substances including inorganic salts, monosaccharides, and small-molecular organic acids.

Membrane Thickness

The composite filter membrane thickness of HP3202A10ANP01 is precisely controlled at 0.15–0.19 mm, a balanced design that takes into account filtration efficiency, dirt-holding capacity, and water permeability. The moderate thickness ensures the membrane has sufficient mechanical strength to resist high water flow impact and backwashing pressure without deformation or rupture. Additionally, the hydrophilic coating on the membrane surface reduces the adhesion of hydrophobic impurities, improves dirt-holding capacity, and maintains stable flux during long-term continuous operation.

Replacement Cycle

The replacement cycle of HP3202A10ANP01 is determined by raw water turbidity, operating flow rate, and system pressure drop, with significant variability across different application scenarios. In ultra-clean large-flow industrial process water with turbidity below 2 NTU, the replacement cycle can reach 4–6 months; in medium-turbidity water environments such as power plant cooling water pretreatment or petrochemical process water treatment with turbidity above 15 NTU, the cycle needs to be shortened to 0.8–1.2 months. In addition, once the system pressure drop reaches the recommended replacement threshold of 2.0 bar, the cartridge should be replaced immediately, regardless of the service time, to avoid system efficiency degradation or equipment damage caused by excessive pressure.
