How it Works
- Bag Filtration: Water flows through a bag filter, capturing particles within the bag's fabric. The bag is then replaced or cleaned as needed.
- Cartridge Filtration: Water passes through a cartridge, which contains a filter media that traps contaminants. Cartridges are also replaced periodically.
Application
Applications for bag and cartridge filtration include the following:
- Industrial Processes: Ensures clean water for manufacturing and cooling systems.
- Food and Beverage: Provides filtered water for food production and beverage processing.
- Pharmaceuticals: Ensures ultra-pure water for pharmaceutical applications.
- Municipal Water Treatment: EBag and cartridgeances water quality in public water supplies.
How to Size
Proper sizing of a bag or cartridge filtration system is crucial for effective treatment. Use the following formula:
Example Calculation
Assume a flow rate of 500 GPM and a filtration rate of 5 GPM/ft²:
This calculation determines the necessary filter area to handle the specified flow rate efficiently.

Micron Sizes
Micron size is a measure of the size of particles that a filter can remove. Here’s a breakdown of different micron sizes:
- 100+ microns: Removes large particles like sand and grit.
- 50-100 microns: Suitable for filtering visible debris and large sediment.
- 25-50 microns: Removes smaller particles, such as silt and fine sand.
- 10-25 microns: Effective for finer particles and some bacteria.
- 1-10 microns: Removes most bacteria, algae, and fine particulate matter.
- <1 micron: Used for viruses and the finest particles, ensuring the highest purity.
