3M™ LifeASSURE™ BLA Series Filtration Media

The LifeASSURE BLA Series Media Roll offers high performance as either final filters for spoilage organism removal, or as a pre-filter. In prefiltration, they are effective in prolonging the service life of LifeASSURE™ BA, BNA and BDA final filters and help protect other downstream membrane filters.

We manufacture the LifeASSURE BLA Series Media Roll to meet a wide range of filtration and clarification requirements in the beverage industry. As a result of its high-performance, versatility and long service life, our LifeASSURE BLA series roll helps lower related operational costs.

Significant Micro-Organism Reduction Is the Key
For effective filtration and clarification of beverages, micro-organism reduction is a crucial outcome needed from economical, reliable filter systems. In tests with Brevundimonas diminuta, LifeASSURE BLA™ series 020 grade filters exhibited an average log reduction value (LRV)* of 7.3 and the LifeASSURE BLA series 045 grade filters exhibited an average LRV of 3.5.

To meet a wide range of needs, the BLA series media roll can be customized to meet a wide range of sizes. When customizing your LifeASSURE series filter, consider the following criteria:

• The nature of the fluid
• The particulate/colloid content of the fluid
• The amount of pretreatment or clarification of the fluid
• The rating of any downstream membrane filter being protected

* LRV= log10 (number of organisms in/number of organisms out)
