The pore sizes can be fine enough to retain bacteria and thus produce a sterile liquid (logarithmic retention of bacteria up to LRV 8). The dirt-holding capacity of a FibraFix® depth filter sheet can be up to 4 kg per m². In the filtration process, solid particles are slowed down and eventually retained by the tortuous path inside the filter sheet and by electrokinetic interactions («zeta potential»). Through this unique mechanism, a high capacity (long lifetime of the filter until plugging) can be achieved. All materials are food grade and FDA approved.
APPLICATIONS
The broad variety of available porosities allows for their use in a wide range of applications. Porosity grades are available from coarse over fine to germ reducing and germ removing filtration («sterile filtration»).
