SupaGard KilBac

SupaGard KilBac

Anti-microbial Depth Cartridge

In many water-based processes there can be a persistent problem with microbial contamination and the subsequent biofouling of the filtration system. This could be on either depth or membrane based filters.

SupaGard KilBac® is a range of nominal rated melt blown depth filters with the addition of KilBac® anti-microbial and anti-algal technology to prevent biofouling on the filtration media.

The Technology

Rather than being based on nano-sized particles whose size and safety has been questioned in the past, our technology utilises micron-sized zeolite structures which are used as a carrier for the anti-microbial agent. By optimising the fibre diameter to the active particle size we maximise the surface area and hence the efficacy of the anti-microbial to the fluid stream being filtered.

Two KilBac® grades are available

• Silver (Ag) / Zinc (Zn) for bacteria control
• Silver (Ag) / Copper (Cu) for algae control

KilBac fibres are blown continuously on to a central support core, with fibre diameters controlled to produce different pore sizes throughout the extrusion process. All the layers are inter-linked to offer maximum support while ensuring that the high void volume is maintained, but with increasing fibre density towards the cartridge central core; therefore resulting in true graded density depth filtration.

APPLICATION NOTES

Features and Benefits

• Graded density structure for maximum dirt holding capacity
• Anti-microbial and anti-algal technology
• Eliminates biofouling on filters in addition to controlling overall bioburden in water-based recirculation processes
• Prevents biofilm build-up on single pass systems, extending filter life and reducing overall operating costs
• Range of Nominal ratings from 0.5 to 20µm
• Thermal bonding process minimises media migration and ensures minimal extractables • Identification data embossed on every cartridge
