3M™ LifeASSURE™ BNA Series Filter Cartridge

3M™ LifeASSURE™ BNA filters encompass new, leading-edge technologies that not only provide the highest degree of microorganism control, but do so in an extremely durable and long lasting design. LifeASSURE™ BNA filters cartridges employ a highly-asymmetric polyethersulfone (PES) membrane that delivers excellent spoilage microorganism retention while greatly minimizing any organoleptic interference. This highly durable membrane/cartridge design withstands repeated exposure to hot water sanitation and steam sterilization as well as common chemical cleaning and sanitizing agents. Complementing this high-performance membrane are 3M Purification’s patented* Advanced Pleat Technology (APT) design and an upstream and downstream support design. All three work in concert to provide an increased flow rate at a lower pressure drop, resulting in smaller filter assemblies with extended service life and a lower overall operational costs.

• Highly asymmetric PES membrane for longer service life and lower operating costs
• High spoilage organism retention- reliable microbiological control and performance matched to industry standards
• Advanced Pleat Technology (APT) for longer service life, lower operating cost and increased accessible surface area
• Novel upstream/downstream supports to reduce housing cost and increased flow per cartridge
• Broad chemical compatibility. Stable with most cleaning and sanitation regimes
• Meets requirements for food contact. Complies with requirements of the Pure Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for food contact.
