The Cryptofil cartridge was developed by Porvair to provide a filter media with continuously graded fibre density which enables progressively finer oocyst retention through the depth of the media. This graded density depth filtration mechanism, combined with optimized pleated pack configuration and resultant high surface area, affords high flow capability and exceptional oocyst retention capacity.
Cryptosporidium oocysts removed from the water flow are captured within the media and are not subject to release by system fluctuations. The voids volume of Cryptofil combined with advanced cartridge construction that can be steam, hot water or chemically sterilised results in a filter capable of retaining high concentrations of oocysts ensuring extended service life and reduced filtration costs.
