Introduction to Veolia Memtrex MP (MMP) Filters
In the world of industrial liquid filtration, precision and chemical compatibility are paramount. For industries ranging from pharmaceutical manufacturing to food and beverage processing, Veolia Memtrex MP (MMP) Pleated Filters stand out as a premier solution. As a trusted distributor and OEM partner for Veolia, Purecowater is proud to offer these high-performance cartridge filters to facilities seeking to optimize their filtration processes.
The Veolia MMP series utilizes advanced polyethersulfone (PES) membranes designed to deliver absolute retention ratings, superior flow rates, and broad chemical compatibility. Whether you are filtering critical process water, stabilizing beverages, or purifying chemicals, the Memtrex MP series offers a reliable, integrity-tested solution.
What Are Veolia MMP Pleated Filters?
Veolia’s Memtrex MP (MMP) cartridges are pleated filters constructed with a unique asymmetric hydrophilic polyethersulfone (PES) membrane. Unlike hydrophobic filters that require wetting agents, the hydrophilic nature of the PES membrane allows for easy wetting helps ensure rapid filtration startup.
The construction features all-polypropylene support components (cages, cores, and end-caps). Crucially, these components are assembled using thermal welding techniques, eliminating the need for adhesives, binders, or surfactants that could leach into the process stream. This ensures the filtrate remains pure and free from extractables.
Key Features
- Absolute Micron Ratings: The PES membrane provides sharp cut-offs for reliable particle and microbial retention.
- High Throughput: The asymmetric pore structure offers lower pressure drops and higher flow rates compared to symmetric membranes, extending the service life of the filter.
- Broad Chemical Compatibility: MMP filters can withstand pH extremes, making them suitable for aggressive acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
- Low Protein Binding: The PES material minimizes the adsorption of proteins and preservatives, which is critical in pharmaceutical and biological applications.
- Integrity Tested: To ensure consistent performance, Veolia individually integrity tests these cartridges during manufacturing.
The Memtrex MP Product Family
Veolia optimizes the MMP line for specific industries by offering distinct grades. At Purecowater, we can help you determine which specific MMP model fits your regulatory and process requirements.
1. General Grade Memtrex MP (MMP)
The standard MMP filter is the workhorse for general industrial and chemical applications. It is designed for maximum throughput and particle retention in applications where specific FDA or pharmaceutical validation may not be the primary driver, but performance is.
- Best For: Filtration of aqueous inks and dyes, bulk chemical filtration, and clarification of process water.
2. Beverage Grade Memtrex MP-B (MMP-B)
Specifically engineered for the food and beverage industry, the MMP-B series includes a polypropylene pre-filtration layer to protect the final membrane. This design enhances the filter’s dirt-holding capacity, making it ideal for fluids with higher particulate loads.
- Best For: Microbial control in bottled water, clarification of wine and beer, and filtration of fruit juices.
3. Electronics Grade Memtrex MP-E (MMP-E)
For the microelectronics industry, purity is everything. The MMP-E filters undergo a rigorous rigorous high-purity flush with ultrapure deionized (UPDI) water to ensure extremely low levels of total organic carbon (TOC) and trace metals.
- Best For: Ultrapure semiconductor water, point-of-use filtration, and high-purity chemical filtration.
4. Sterilizing Grade Memtrex MP-S (MMP-S)
The MMP-S is validated for bacterial retention, making it the choice for critical pharmaceutical applications. It features a double-layer PES membrane for assured sterility and safety.
- Best For: Final filtration of Water for Injection (WFI), serums, vaccines, and biologicals.
Common Applications
Due to their versatile construction, Veolia MMP filters are used across a wide spectrum of industries:
- Food & Beverage: Ensuring biological stability in non-pasteurized beverages and clarifying ingredient water.
- Medical & Pharmaceutical: Bio-burden control in upstream processes and filtration of cell culture media.
- Chemical Processing: Handling compatible acids, bases, and oxidizers that would degrade other membrane materials.
- Microelectronics: Recirculating loops for deionized water and bulk chemical clarification.
Technical Specifications Overview
- Micron Ratings: Available in absolute ratings typically ranging from 0.03 to 0.65 microns (depending on the specific series).
- Lengths: Standard cartridge lengths including 10, 20, 30, and 40 inches.
- Sterilization: Most MMP cartridges can be steam sterilized or autoclaved (check specific data sheets for temperature limits like 125°C).
- End Caps: Available in industry-standard configurations such as 222 O-Ring, 226 O-Ring, and DOE (Double Open End) to fit various housings.
