High-area modular filtration
Colossus provides 1,385–7,000 cm² of active candle-filtration area for fine filtration and heavy contaminant loading. It suits processes where media area, element service life and pressure drop are central sizing constraints, with modular elements and optional pulsed solvent backwash.
Model selection
| Selection factor | Application guidance |
|---|---|
| Primary niche | Large filtration area for fine media, heavy contamination or processes constrained by filter loading. |
| Filter architecture | Modular candle elements, rather than selecting the system by rotary screen diameter alone. |
| Temperature | Up to 300 °C standard; up to 450 °C with the high-temperature configuration. |
| Element service | Brochure describes element changeout without process interruption and pulsed solvent backwash. Confirm the isolation sequence and solvent compatibility for the specified resin. |
System architecture
Colossus extends Patt’s pressure-control approach to modular candle media and very large filtration areas.
Specially mounted elements provide high active area and straightforward service access.
ExploreOptional pulsed backwash is designed to reduce material loss and extend element service life.
ExploreElement replacement is designed to be fast and possible without interrupting the process.
ExploreControl and integration
Networked logging makes process stability, pressure behaviour and filter consumption visible to operators and plant systems.
Filtration media
A cartridge format accommodates a large developed filtering surface in a compact element. The supplied sintered cartridge shown here illustrates the media construction used for this type of filtration. Element geometry, mesh and connections are selected with the system configuration.
