Product details

Durable construction.

Durable construction.

3M™ LifeASSURE™ BDA Series Filter Cartridges are highly durable and capable of secure operation through numerous cycles of hot water sanitation, steam sterilization and chemical-based cleaning and sanitation.

Highly asymmetric BDA membrane.

Highly asymmetric BDA membrane.

3M™ LifeASSURE™ BDA Series Filter Cartridges incorporates a dual-layer asymmetrical membrane that reduces flow resistance, which results in a lower pressure drop, fewer filters required, a greater contaminant retention capacity and a longer service life.

Advanced Pleat Technology (APT).

Advanced Pleat Technology (APT).

3M’s APT design helps to maximize the useful surface area of the filter while maintaining open flow paths between the media pleats. It also provides lower pressure drop, a longer service life and lower overall operational costs.

Robust media support design.

Robust media support design.

Combining the special upstream and downstream membrane support layers with the APT design greatly increases per-cartridge flow rates, resulting in lower overall operational costs and a longer service life.

3M™ LifeASSURE™ BDA Series Filter Cartridges contain two layers of PES membrane. The upstream layer is rated at 0.65 μm while the downstream layer is rated at 0.2 μm. Our testing has shown this arrangement results in a long service life while maintaining the necessary retention of microorganisms. 3M™ LifeASSURE™ BDA Series Filter Cartridges have been validated with a 0.2 μm rating for complete retention of Brevundimonas diminuta (B. diminuta) (ATCC 19146) at a concentration of 10 7 CFU/cm2 or greater.
  • Validated 0.2 μm absolute-rated membrane for reliable sterile filtration
  • Asymmetric dual-layer polyethersulfone membrane provides a high capacity and long service life to help reduce costs
  • Advanced Pleat Technology (APT) construction provides an extremely high surface area for higher throughputs
  • Secures operation through numerous cycles of hot water sanitation, steam sterilization and standard chemical-based cleaning and sterilization
  • Extensive food contact compliance* *For details related to specific use conditions or limitations for food contact applications please contact your 3M Representative for more information

Technical Brief

Technical Brief

The recommended conditions for chemical sanitation of used membranes are: 1) a warm water flush using filtered water at 131 °F (55 °C) followed by 2) a static soak of the filter cartridges for 30 minutes in 0.5% v/v aqueous hydrogen peroxide/peracetic acid based sanitizing agent solution at ambient temperature. Laboratory tests indicate that the 3M Purification Inc. LifeASSURE™ BNA & BDA membrane is compatible with dilute solutions (up to 1.0% v/v) of hydrogen peroxide/peracetic acid based sanitation agents for up to 150 continuous hours at room temperature. Measurement of the forward flow diffusion during the tests indicated the forward flow integrity test (FFIT) values remained constant as a function of time of exposure to the sanitizing agent and remained well below the FFIT specification. No deterioration in the membrane flow characteristics as a function of the time of exposure were found.

Technical Brief

Technical Brief

Technical brief. Cleaning LifeASSURE(TM) BDA020 & BNA020 Series Membrane Filter Cartridges with Caustic Solutions. In malt or fruit based beverage applications where pre-filtration is used prior to the final membrane filter cartridges, the final membrane filter cartridges tend to plug by gradual constriction of the pores with deformable colloidal substances, not by the collection of particulate or microorganismson the membrane surface. The colloidal substances are composed of various naturally occurring organic materials that include betaglucans, proteins and tannins. These components are inherent in the malt or fruit, or are generated in upstream processes such as fermentationand the enzymatic breakdown of carbohydrates and other compounds. Regular flushing of the filter cartridge with warm 131 °F (55 °C) water can reduce this build up, remove the layer of these materials on the membrane surface, flush them from the fi lter cartridge matrix and increase the fi lter cartridge’s service life.
