PEP’s patented SCF series up-flow cartridge filter offers 100% saturation of the polyester

wound filter cartridge. Liquid enters through the bottom of the filter where it is

distributed by a diffuser disk. The process liquid flows upward into the vessel and

through the cartridge filter(s). As filtered solids accumulate on the lower section of the

cartridge, the filtered solids move progressively up the cartridge, thereby utilizing 100%

of the available filter area. The filtered clean water exits through the center core stand

pipe.

SCF filter vessels are constructed of stainless steel with a removable lid designed for

easy cartridge replacement. The standard pressure rating of the filter vessel is 150 psig

(1,034 kPa). A variety of cartridges are available to remove suspended particles from

100 micron to 0.5 micron. Vessels can also be fitted with activated carbon cartridges to

remove taste, odor, and dissolved contaminants.

PEP’s “PCF” cartridges have a spun wound design that yields a low pressure drop,

greater suspended solids removal, and longer intervals between filter changes. The SCF

series filter may be applied to a wide variety of applications for light to medium

contaminant removal. PEP offers a variety of standard cartridge filters to meet liquid

filtration from 0.5 micron to 100 micron. For special filtration needs, PEP offers custom

filtration systems. Typical industries where cartridge filters are used include:

Food Tobacco Production

Chemical Rubber / Plastic Production

Petrochemical Hospital / Medical Facilities

Amusement Parks Industrial Equipment Manufacturing

Photography Metal Finishing

Pharmaceutical Beverage

Well / Ground water Zoological

Fish Hatcheries Aquarium

Installation

Place the SCF filter vessel on a flat surface. To minimize system pressure, the filter

vessel should be located as near to the process as site conditions allow. Refer to the

SCF drawing within this documentation. It is recommended to install a baII valve (not

supplied) on the filter vessel inlet and outlet to isolate the SCF filter for servicing. Use

ball valves appropriately sized to match the pipe diameter of the inlet and outlet fittings.

After which, connect the process piping to the ball valves on filter vessel inlet and outlet.

The inlet and outlet are the largest two fittings on the filter vessel. The outlet (filtered

liquid discharge) is the lower of these two largest fittings. Connect the two small drain

If the filter vessel is not equipped with drain fittings, it is recommended to install a tee between the filter vessel outlet fitting and outlet ball valve. Connect a drain line (1/2” ~ 3/4” (12.7 ~ 19.05 mm) recommended) with a small ball valve to the bottom of the tee and run this line to a suitable drain.
