Reduce Cartridge Count and Maximise Throughput with Large-Diameter Elements

Skytech Ultrafab High Flowment Filter Cartridges are large-diameter (6-inch OD), deep-pleated cartridges designed to handle 3–5 times the flow rate of standard 2.5-inch cartridges in a single element, dramatically reducing the number of cartridges and housing sizes required in high-volume industrial water treatment, municipal water, RO pre-filtration, cooling tower make-up, and power plant condensate systems. Available in absolute ratings from 1 µm to 100 µm in 20-inch, 40-inch, and 60-inch lengths with fin-top and flat-bottom end configurations delivering low pressure drop, high dirt-holding capacity, and reduced maintenance frequency.

What Are High Flowment Filter Cartridges?

High Flowment Filter Cartridges — also called high-flow cartridges — are large outside-diameter (typically 6-inch or 152 mm OD) pleated filter elements designed for high-volume liquid filtration systems. By increasing the cartridge diameter and pleated media area dramatically compared to standard 2.5-inch cartridges, a single high-flow cartridge can replace a bank of 5 to 10 standard cartridges. This reduces housing size, the number of cartridge change-outs, and overall system footprint while maintaining the same total filtration capacity and efficiency.

Features and Benefits

• 3–5× Higher Flow per Cartridge: 6-inch diameter with deep-pleated media delivers 3–5 times the flow of a standard 2.5-inch cartridge — reducing the total cartridge count in a filtration bank by up to 80%
• Reduced Housing and Footprint: Fewer cartridges means fewer housings and smaller total system footprint — particularly valuable in space-constrained plant rooms and skid-mounted water treatment systems
• Absolute Micron Ratings: Available in absolute-rated polypropylene or PES membrane media from 1 µm to 100 µm — consistent particle retention across the full service life of each cartridge
• High Dirt-Holding Capacity: Large-diameter deep-pleated structure provides high solid loading before differential pressure end-of-life — extending cartridge service intervals and reducing change-out frequency
• Low Pressure Drop: Large pleated area gives a low face velocity through the media — maintaining low differential pressure throughout the service cycle and minimising pump energy consumption
• 60-Inch Length Available: 60-inch high-flow cartridges available for very high-volume applications — providing the largest possible filtration area per housing position for maximum throughput

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Industrial Water Treatment: High-flow sediment and particle pre-filtration in large industrial water treatment systems — RO pre-filtration, cooling tower make-up, and boiler feed water treatment
• Municipal Water: Municipal waterworks pre-filtration banks where high flow rates and large particle loadings make high-flow cartridges significantly more cost-effective than standard cartridge banks
• Power Generation: Condensate polishing and cooling water pre-filtration in thermal and combined-cycle power plants — high-flow cartridges reduce cartridge inventory and planned maintenance duration
• Oil and Gas: Produced water and injection water pre-filtration on offshore and onshore oil and gas facilities where frequent cartridge changes are operationally disruptive and costly
• Food and Beverage: High-volume process water and ingredient water pre-filtration in large food and beverage manufacturing facilities where standard cartridge banks require very frequent change-outs
