Emflon HTPFRW cartridges are sterilizing grade hydrophobic membrane filters designed for reliable retention of bacteria and high levels of phages in compressed gas and vent applications.
Emflon HTPFRW cartridges are specifically designed for critical, high temperature sterile filtration of compressed air and gas and hot fluid tank venting applications. They can also be considered for use in oxygen-enriched air applications.1 In the food and ingredient industry, high temperature applications include fermentation inlet and exhaust air and aseptic packaging/ blow-fill-seal. Oxygen enrichment of air is used in fermenter or bioreactor applications where improved aeration enables higher product yields.
The filters feature Pall’s advanced 0.2 micron rated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) double layer membranes, pleated with very high area into single open-end cartridges. The polypropylene hardware is specially formulated with oxidation-resistant materials, and the filters’ support and drainage layers are made of polyphenylene sulphide polymer for oxidation protection.

| Features | Benefits |
| Inherently hydrophobic 100% PTFE membranes | Prevents wetting out in humid conditions or repeated steaming cycles, ensuring unrestricted gas throughput |
| High area pleated, robust double-layer membranes | Economical installations due to high throughputs and low pressure drops Excellent resistance to mechanical damage |
| Oxidation-resistant materials of construction | Long service life in hot air and vent applications, also suitable for oxygen-enriched air applications1 |
| Multi-cycle in situ steam challenged in forward and reverse direction | Enhanced steaming resistance |
| Validated for 0.2 micron bacteria removal in liquid and aerosol challenge tests | Sterile effluent even in humid conditions, resulting in improved fermentation yields and reliable protection from contamination |
| Aerosol bacteriophage challenged | Superior bacteriophage protection of microbial cultures |
| Water Intrusion testable (WIT) | Enables in situ user integrity testing with water |
| Part and serial number laser etched and encoded in 2D matrix | Filter identifying information can be scanned with a 2D matrix code reader to complement the use of a Palltronic® Flowstar integrity test instrument |
| 100% integrity tested prior to dispatch; individually serialized modules | Documented quality; full traceability to materials and production records |
1 Please refer to Application Note USTR2311a for important guidelines regarding use in oxygen and oxygen-enriched air. The user must perform a suitable risk assessment regarding such applications.

Technical Information
The technical information provided is based on controlled laboratory tests done on typical production filters at the conditions described, unless otherwise indicated. Actual operating conditions may affect the filter’s performance.Nominal Filter Area
0.84 m 2 (9.04 ft2) per 254 mm (10") moduleOperating Characteristics in Compatible Gases2
| Maximum Differential Pressure | Operating Temperature |
| 3.4 bard (49.3 psid) (forward) | ≤ 90 °C (194 ºF) |
| 5.4 bard (78.3 psid) (forward) | ≤ 40 °C (104 ºF) |
| 3 bard (43.5 psid) (reverse) | ≤ 40 °C (104 ºF) |
2 Air, nitrogen, or other compatible gases. For differential pressure and temperature limits in applications with oxygen-enriched air please refer to Application Note USTR2311a or contact Pall.
Typical Service Life in Continuous Air Service
| Maximum Temperature2, 3 | Service Life |
| 100 °C (212 °F) | 1 year |
| 110 °C (230 °F) | 6 months |
| 120 °C (248 °F) | 2 months |
3 For continuous gas flow under 60 ºC (140 ºF) in critical applications, Emflon PFRW filters are recommended.
Autoclave and Steaming4
| Cumulative Steaming Time | Operating Temperature |
| 100 1-hour cycles (forward) (all sizes) | 142 °C (288 °F) |
| 150 1⁄2 hour cycles (forward) (AB1, AB2, AB3 styles) | 142 °C (288 °F) |
| Maximum Steaming Conditions | Steaming Temperature |
| 1.0 bard (15 psid) (forward) | 125 °C (257 °F) |
| 0.3 bard (4.3 psid) (forward) | 142 °C (287 °F) |
| 0.5 bard (7.3 psid) (reverse) | 125 °C (257 °F) |
4 For applications requiring autoclaving and sterlization, Pall recommends the use of Code 2 or Code 7 adaptors to ensure filter sealing after cooling. Cartridges should be cooled to system operating temperature prior to use. Data shown for forward steam flow also indicates autoclave resistance.
