World innovation from BEGEROW for the process industry
Mineral-free and made of high-purity cellulose: The BECOPAD P range, available as a low-cationic (P) and a high-cationic version (P+), stands for maximum filtration performance and minimum ion release. The new depth filter medium from BEGEROW, which is produced using the special bepure process, sets new standards in terms of purity of the end product and economic efficiency.
It can be used for a wide range of applications, including clarification of ethanolic solutions, which have a tendency for ionrelated precipitation, catalyst separation and separation tasks in the production of biopharmaceutical products involving antibodies or proteins.
BECOPAD P and P+ are characterized by minimum extractable substances and a 50% reduction in rinsing volume. This saves costly rinsing solutions and rinsing times. Because of its high chemical resistance, the BECOPAD P range is also particularly suitable for a variety of applications involving aggressive liquids. The depth filters are fully ashable and 100% biodegradable. Special additional features of BECOPAD P+: The high cationic potential of the filter medium selectively separates negatively charged particles from the liquid to be filtered. In addition, it benefits from extremely reduced endotoxin and beta-glucan content and therefore prevents toxic effects in the end product.
