Sanitary Catalyst Filter for Palladium-on-Carbon CIP Design 1.0μm 304SS Housing 250L/h Flow Rate
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, a specialized manufacturer with over two decades of experience since 1998. Our Sanitary Catalyst Filter for Palladium-on-Carbon CIP Design is engineered to meet the stringent demands of pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries, ensuring maximum recovery of precious Pd/C catalysts while maintaining CIP (Clean-in-Place) compatibility. Built with a 304 stainless steel housing and 1.0 μm filtration rating, this filter delivers a stable 250 L/h flow rate, offering a reliable solution for catalyst filtration and reuse.
This filter is designed to handle the unique challenges of palladium-on-carbon (Pd/C) catalyst slurries, which often require high solids retention, low pressure drop, and easy cleaning. The CIP design allows for in-place cleaning without disassembly, reducing downtime and labor costs. The 304 stainless steel housing provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability, while the sanitary tri-clamp connections ensure quick installation and leak-proof operation. Whether you are processing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), fine chemicals, or specialty intermediates, this filter is an ideal choice for enhancing production efficiency and catalyst lifecycle.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- High Retention Efficiency: 1.0 μm absolute filtration rating ensures capture of fine Pd/C particles, minimizing catalyst loss.
- CIP-Optimized Design: Smooth internal surfaces with no dead zones allow effective cleaning with CIP protocols, reducing cross-contamination risks.
- Robust 304SS Construction: Full 304 stainless steel housing and internals resist chemical attack from solvents, acids, and alkali used in catalyst handling.
- Consistent Flow Rate: Designed for 250 L/h nominal flow, with capability to handle peak flows up to 300 L/h (depending on slurry viscosity).
- Sanitary Finish: Internal surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.8 μm, compliant with sanitary standards for food and pharmaceutical applications.
- Easy Maintenance: Quick-opening clamps allow fast element replacement or inspection without tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can this filter handle high concentrations of Pd/C catalyst?
Yes, the filter is designed to handle slurry concentrations up to 10% w/w (typical). For higher concentrations, a pre-filter or larger filter area may be recommended – please contact us for a customized solution.
Q2: Is the filter element replaceable?
Absolutely. The filter uses a replaceable sintered mesh element that can be cleaned or replaced. We offer spare elements in various materials (304SS, 316SS) and micron ratings.
Q3: What is the typical pressure drop across the filter?
Clean pressure drop at 250 L/h is approximately 0.2–0.5 bar, depending on viscosity. As the element captures solids, pressure drop increases; we recommend cleaning when ΔP reaches 1.5 bar.
Q4: Can the filter be used with solvents like methanol or ethyl acetate?
Yes, the 304SS housing and element are compatible with most organic solvents. However, for highly corrosive solvents (e.g., strong acids), we recommend upgrading to 316SS or special alloys – consult our technical team.
Q5: What CIP cleaning agents are recommended?
We recommend using warm water, followed by dilute caustic solution (0.5–1% NaOH) and rinse. For organic residues, a solvent flush may be used. Always verify compatibility with your specific process conditions.
Q6: Do you provide certificates of material or hydrostatic test?
Yes, we can provide material certificates (EN 10204 3.1) and hydrostatic test reports upon request. These are standard for our pharmaceutical-grade filters.
Q7: What is the lead time for this filter?
Standard lead time is 15–20 working days after order confirmation. Custom orders may require additional time. We maintain a stock of common configurations for faster delivery.
Q8: Can you supply a complete system with pump and control panel?
Yes, we can integrate the filter into a complete skid-mounted system including pump, pressure gauges, and control valves. Please provide your process requirements for a tailored solution.
