SUPRApak TM Depth Filter Modules
1 Introduction
The following procedures must be followed for the
installation of SUPRApak filter units.
These instructions, as well as the product data sheets
and SUPRApak filter housing operating instructions,
should be read thoroughly as they contain valuable
information gained by extensive experience. It is very
important that all instructions are carefully followed and,
where appropriate, should be incorporated into the
operator's standard operating procedures.
If some of the procedures do not suit your needs,
please consult Pall or your local distributor before
finalizing your system.
Use of this product in a manner other than in
accordance with Pall's current recommendations
may lead to injury or loss. Pall cannot accept
liability for such injury or loss.

only. It is not intended for use in the reverse direction.
Appropriate installation guidelines should be followed in
order to prevent back pressure shocks to the filter
modules.

*Note: The indicated maximum differential pressures do
not necessarily indicate collapse pressures, which will
typically be higher. Rather, they indicate a point in the
filtration process where downstream turbidity may
begin to rise, however, this performance is very
application-specific and it should be monitored by
downstream turbidity measurements.
Operation outside the specifications and with fluids
incompatible with construction materials may cause
personal injury and result in damage to the
equipment. Incompatible fluids are those which
chemically attack, soften, stress or adversely affect
the materials of construction. For chemical
compatibility, please contact Pall.

unit. If a stack of several units is used, a support has
to be fitted into each unit.
at elevated temperature with an unfiltrate that
increases its viscosity when cooled down, the
SUPRApak unit should be rinsed out with hot water
before stopping the process. Otherwise the unfiltrate
may thicken or even crystallize within the cool unit
and the unit may be irreversibly blocked or damaged
and cannot be used any longer. Alternatively, if only
a short break is necessary, circulation of the hot
medium in a closed loop may be possible.
