3M™ LifeASSURE™ BA Series Filter Cartridge

Quality, economy and consistent performance.
Decreased filtration costs.

Decreased filtration costs.

3M™ LifeASSURE™ BA Series Filter Cartridges have a high surface area that results in a low face velocity and greater throughput for a long filter life and fewer cartridge change-outs. They can withstand a mild alkaline flush after each day’s run for improved throughputs.

Nylon 6,6 microporous membrane.

Nylon 6,6 microporous membrane.

The non-charge modified single-layer nylon 6,6 microporous membrane helps reduce the risk of pigment binding in beverages like beer and wine. These filters have a high retention rate that traps microorganisms or spoilage organisms on the filter surface as the beverage is filtered.

100% integrity tested.

100% integrity tested.

Users can integrity test 3M™ LifeASSURE™ BA Series Filter Cartridges using bubble point pressure, diffusive flow or pressure hold procedures while the filters are in the housing to help ensure proper filter installation and performance.
