Unmatched Filtration Efficiency with Veolia Purtrex Depth Filters
In the world of industrial liquid filtration, consistency and purity are paramount. For facilities requiring reliable sediment reduction without compromising on chemical compatibility, Veolia Purtrex filters stand out as an industry standard. As a premier distributor for Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions, Purecowater is proud to offer these high-value depth cartridges to help businesses optimize their water treatment processes.
Whether you are protecting sensitive Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes or ensuring the purity of potable water, the Purtrex line offers a robust solution designed for longevity and efficiency.
What is the Veolia Purtrex Filter?
The Veolia Purtrex depth filter is a 100% pure polypropylene cartridge manufactured using a patented melt-blowing process. Unlike traditional string-wound filters, Purtrex cartridges are thermally bonded, meaning they contain no wetting agents, solvents, anti-static agents, or binders [watertechnologies.com].
This construction method ensures that the filter remains chemically inert, making it safe for a wide variety of applications, including food and beverage contact (meeting FDA requirements) and high-purity chemical filtration. The structural integrity of the filter is maintained solely through the thermal bonding of its microfibers, preventing media migration and ensuring that contaminants stay trapped [filters.com].
The Science Called “True Graded Density”
The defining feature of the Purtrex series is its true graded density filter matrix. This advanced design differentiates high-quality depth filters from standard commodity options.
- Outer Layer: Lower density to capture larger particulate matter.
- Inner Core: Progressively higher density toward the center to trap finer particles.
By capturing particles throughout the entire depth of the filter—rather than just on the surface—Purtrex cartridges achieve a significantly higher dirt-holding capacity. This results in longer service life and fewer change-outs compared to existing string-wound or resin-bonded filters [filtersource.com]. The 3-dimensional matrix minimizes pressure drop while maximizing efficiency, ensuring your system runs smoothly for longer periods.

Common Applications
Due to their purity and rugged construction, Veolia Purtrex filters are versatile enough for a broad spectrum of industries:
1. Reverse Osmosis Pre-Filtration
Protecting expensive RO membranes from sediment and fouling is critical. Purtrex filters effectively remove Silt Density Index (SDI) contributors, extending the life of downstream membrane elements [watertechnologies.com].
2. Food and Beverage
With FDA compliance and USP Class VI certification, these filters are safe for potable water filtration, bottling, and beverage production, ensuring the final product remains free of particulates and contaminants [filters.com].
3. Chemical Processing and Electronics
The binder-free polypropylene construction ensures no leachables are introduced into the process stream, which is vital for microelectronics manufacturing and high-purity chemical processing [filtersource.com].
4. Oil and Gas
Purtrex filters are also utilized in amine filtration, deep well injection, and general water filtration within the energy sector.
