For High Throughput Depth Filtration of Distilled Spirits in Closed Systems
SUPRApak SH series depth filter modules set a new standard for enclosed sheet filtration, providing exceptional throughput and quality in distilled spirits applications.
Developed from traditional depth filtration technology, SUPRApak modules efficiently combine the filtration mechanisms of surface filtration, depth filtration and adsorption. Highly unique to their design is an entirely new flow configuration, based on the “edge flow” principle.
Filter sheet material is wrapped around a central, permeable core. Feed and filtrate channels provide a fluid flow path resulting in maximum utilization of the sheet material, to provide highly efficient contaminant removal and a cost-effective closed system alternative to flat sheet filtration.
SH series SUPRApak modules are constructed from Seitz® IR series filter sheets which undergo a proprietary treatment that results in extremely low levels of extractable ions. This makes them ideal for spirits applications since ions like calcium and magnesium can result in precipitation and haze formation.

Operating Guidelines
Field experience shows that maximum achievable differential pressures vary with the application and product selection. They are determined by monitoring filtrate quality, and are influenced by several factors. Please contact Pall for details, and refer to SUPRApak module instructions for use.
Rinsing
The use of ion-reduced water is highly recommended for the reconstitution of distillates to final strength.
To prevent dilution upon installation, a water rinse is not typical for SUPRApak modules used in the spirits industry. Product circulation for 10 to 15 minutes back to the feed tank helps to distribute ions extracted at the beginning of filtration to the entire batch reducing the overall risk of precipitation.
Filtration Guidelines4
| Module Size | Recommended Flow Rate |
| SUPRApak S | 150 – 240 L/h (0.7 – 1.1 gal/min) |
| SUPRApak M | 900 – 1650 L/h (4 – 7.3 gal/min) |
| SUPRApak L | 2500 – 4500 L/h (11 – 20 gal/min) |
