WHAT IS FLUX?
When it comes to filtration, flux is the flow rate of a liquid thru a given unit area of filter media. A commonly used flux measurement is gallons per minute per square foot.
WHY IS FLUX IMPORTANT?
Laboratory tests and field applications have shown that decreasing the flux using the same filter media under the same operating conditions actually increases the relative DHC (dirt holding capacity) of the media. This means that as the flow rate of a liquid thru a section of filter media decreases, that same section will hold an increasing amount of contaminant. So in most situations, the relationship between the total surface area of a filtration device and the life of that same device is not linear, but exponential.
An XPECT™ Series C XCPPF10-PP2 will contain approximately 7X the amount of filter media of a typical #2, 10 micron bag; however, in most applications we would predict up to 17x the life, thanks to the lower flux.
The obvious conclusion: Significantly longer filter life means significantly fewer changeouts!

PUT SAFETY FIRST
Take advantage of high-capacity XPECT filters and lower flux to dramatically reduce changeouts and your workers’ exposure to harmful chemicals and contaminants.
SHRINK YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Consume fewer resources and still maintain the quality of your filtration processes. Minimize vapor emissions and reduce your landfill waste up to 60%!
REDUCE YOUR OPERATIONAL COSTS
Keep your processes online longer and utilize your workforce more effectively.
