NanoCeram® & NanoCeram-PAC “SOE” Series 

(download PDF)

Double “O” Ring Pleated Filter Cartridges

Features and Benefits
Thermally bonded blend of microglass fibers & cellulose infused with nanoalumina fibers in a non-woven matrix creates an electropositively-charged depth filter media. Argonide’s line of SOE cartridges use our NanoCeram® or NanoCeram-PAC™ filter media which are then assembled with 100% polypropylene materials and sealed using the latest thermal bonding equipment. Each of these SOE cartridges is manufactured with 100% FDA-compliant materials. NanoCeram® technology offers a unique combination of efficiency, capacity, flowrate & low pressure drop at levels unmatched in today’s filtration marketplace. These cartridges are designed for use in most applications where absolute rated pleated filtration is needed with the added assurance of an absolute seal between cartridge and housing; and are available with flat, fin or spring endcaps with 222 or 226 double o-rings.

Each NanoCeram® pleated filter cartridge is designed to satisfy the most difficult requirements in water treatment. By using the scientific principal of electropositive attraction/capture, NanoCeram® technology leads to a rapid and highly efficient adsorption of virtually all particle sizes. NanoCeram®’s media has a high capacity for particles as large as tens of microns or as small as a few nanometers. Each NanoCeram® Filter Cartridge exhibits a rating of 0.2µ . . . a rating typically associated with ultraporous membranes. Yet NanoCeram® flow rates are hundreds of times greater than such membranes.
