The titanium rod filter operates based on the use of a stainless steel shell (304 or 316L) with an internal titanium tube filter element. This design offers exceptional resistance to high temperatures, high pressures, strong acids, strong alkalis, and corrosion. The filter element, composed of a hollow or solid tube made from titanium metal powder sintered at high temperatures, can be regenerated multiple times. This filtration solution finds extensive application in liquid-solid separation processes across various industries, including food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical.
In the pharmaceutical industry, the titanium rod filter is particularly suitable for large infusion and injection production lines, where it aids in the dehydration process and carbon filtration. The titanium rod filter utilizes a sintered titanium powder filter element, typically employed for coarse or intermediate filtration. This type of filter element offers several advantages, such as high precision, resistance to high temperatures and corrosion, and excellent mechanical strength. It also conforms to the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standard.
To address the issue of low flow in the titanium rod filter, several approaches can be implemented:
1. Increasing the filter area and the number of titanium rod filters can enhance the overall flow rate.
2. Improving pre-filtration processes to reduce impurities will significantly enhance the flux of the filter.
3. Modifying the fluid properties can be achieved by incorporating a thermal insulation layer, which helps optimize the flow rate.
