Definitions

  • the present invention provides filters and methods for manufacturing such filters. It relates to disposable porous fibrous filters for use in permanent or re-usable housings and methods of manufacturing same.
  • Filtration of fine sized particles and contaminants from fluids has been accomplished by the use of various porous filter media through which the contaminant fluid is passed.
  • various porous filter media Of particular interest are biological broths used in the manufacture of proteins, monoclonal antibodies and other such biopharmaceuticals.
  • Another area of interest is in the filtration of grape juice for the manufacture of wine, the filtration of various other fruit juices and the filtration of beer.
  • the media To function as a filter, the media must allow the fluid, typically water or an aqueous based fluid to pass through the media while retaining the particulate contaminant. This retention of contaminant is accomplished through the operation of different distinct mechanisms of filtration. The first is a simple mechanical straining and the second is electrokinetic particle capture and adsorption. Other mechanisms may also play a lesser role in the retention of the contaminants.
  • a particle In mechanical straining, a particle is removed by physical entrapment when it attempts to pass through a pore smaller than itself. In electrokinetic capture, the particle collides with a surface within the filter and is retained on the surface by short range attractive forces.
  • the traditional device for this filtration/clarification step has been to use a series of porous pads, formed of a blend of natural and/or synthetic fibers such as thermoplastic fibers like polyethylene and polypropylene and natural fibers such as cellulose, cellulosic derivatives such as cellulose acetate, rayon, cotton, wood pulp and one or more fillers or filtration aids such as diatomaceous earth, silica, carbon, talc, perlite, molecular sieves, clays, etc. and mixtures thereof. See US 2,788,901 . 3,158,532, 4,305,782. To enhance the electrokinetic capture mechanism, the use of various charge modifiers has been suggested to control the zeta potential of the sheet constituents and maximize performance of the device.
  • natural and/or synthetic fibers such as thermoplastic fibers like polyethylene and polypropylene and natural fibers such as cellulose, cellulosic derivatives such as cellulose acetate, rayon, cotton, wood pulp and one or more fillers or filtration aids such as diatom
  • the filters are made as supported cells with the porous media mats being attached to the outer surfaces of a central support device.
  • the supported cells are formed on a lenticular (double convex) support structure formed of a series of radially extending convex shaped ribs which are held to each other by a series of spaced rings at various circumferences from the center of the radial ribs. See US 4,704,207 and 4,783,262.
  • the spaces between the ribs form the channels through which fluid that has flowed through the filter media is collected and sent to the core for further use.
  • the rings are arranged in a manner so that the fluid flow is only minimally hindered.
  • adjacent rings are formed on opposite sides of the ribs so that flow is over one ring and then under the other.
  • the cells may be used singularly or in groups. See US 2,788,901 and 5,085,784.
  • the filter cells are used in groups (generally of 16 to 20 per group) stacked upon a central core within a housing. Fluid to be filtered enters the bottom or side adjacent the bottom of the housing and flows through the filter media to the lenticular support structure that direct the fluid to the core where it is collected and removed from the housing through an outlet in the bottom or side of the housing.
  • the lenticular design is bulky and takes up a large amount of space, thereby decreasing the packing density or the amount of filter material that can be contained in a given volume. This typically means that commercial scale devices are quite large and have a large amount of open area in them. Typically, one must use a series of housings containing a series of these lenticular devices in order to provide the desired amount of filtration material. This is costly and requires additional floor space that may be at a premium in production areas.
  • the lenticular design is difficult to make in small sizes and therefore linearly scalable devices from the lab scale to pilot scale to production scale are not available.
  • the lenticular design is large, heavy and formed of a large single molded piece of plastic. They are large in that the lenticular design is deliberately made so there is plenty of space for fluid flow downstream of the media. They are heavy as they need to be reinforced so as to support the weight of both the support (often called a spider) as well as the media (especially when wet) and to limit the amount of distortion and deflection during use. See US 4,783,262. Being formed of a large plastic molded part, they tend to warp and distort when under pressure and/or higher temperatures (that are often encountered in their use).
  • the molded plastic has built in stresses as is common with molded plastic parts and these stresses, especially when subjected to additional heat and/or pressures, cause the plastic support to bend and warp causing twisting and buckling of the individual filter elements (or cells) and cell movement which causes the adjacent cells to touch causing flow limitations and distorting and/or cracking the media which leads to defective filtration.
  • What is desired is a design that enhances the packing density of the filter and which is linearly scalable.
  • the present invention provides such a device and a method of manufacturing such devices.
  • the present invention provides a non-lenticular filter comprising one or more relatively flat or non-lenticular supports and one or more layers of porous media positioned on the support(s) and liquid tightly sealed with the relatively flat support(s) such that all fluid must pass through the porous media before reaching an outlet to the filter.
  • the support is comprised of a centrally located, relatively flat structure such as a bi-directional screen.
  • the support is a series of alternating relatively flat supports, the first having a knife seal on its inner edge, the second having a knife seal on its outer edge so as to establish a liquid tight seal between the media and the outlet to the device so that all fluid must pass through the media before reaching the outlet.
  • the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a filter, the method comprising inserting one or more layers of depth media between an inlet support including an inner knife seal and an outlet support including and outer knife seal to create a sandwich, subjecting said sandwich to pressure sufficient to create liquid tight seals at the intersection of knife seals and media, and fixing the position of the components of the sandwich with respect to each other such that said seals remain liquid tight and all fluid pass through the media before reaching the outlet.

  • a series of spacers 8 extend from the arm and support the media layers 1 ,2.
  • a space between the arms 7 and spacers 8 forms a channel 9 that is in fluid communication with the central aperture 6.
  • the outer peripheral edges of the porous media and the arms are sealed by an edge 10 which provides an integral fluid-tight seal to the outer edge of the device.
  • Figure 1 B shows a typical small scale device.
  • the media 20 as a cut disk or series of disks (one shown) is sealed between an upper housing half 21 and a lower housing half 22.
  • the upper housing 21 has an inlet 23, and the lower housing 22 an outlet 24.
  • the edges of the housings 21 and 22 and the media 20 are sealed by an overmolding 25 or other such seal so that all fluid must pass through the media 20 before reaching the outlet 24.
  • a small scale embodiment of the present invention such as may be used in the laboratory, in a pilot scale process and even in a large scale process if so desired, provides a filter device comprising a first support including an inner seal and one or more inlets for receiving fluid, a second support including an outer seal and being in fluid communication with an outlet for the cartridge, and media positioned between the supports.
  • the inner and outer seals be knife edge seals.
  • the second support is an end cap.
  • the first support is sandwiched between two independent layers of media and said first support knife seal contacts said media.
  • the filter includes multiple layers of media. Such multiple layers may also be different materials.
  • Three different grades of media, diatomaceous earth (DE), cellulose binder (CE) and carbon are considered the most useful depth medias for the present invention.

  • carbon has at least 4.
  • These media can be obtained from a variety of sources such as M1LLISTAK+ TM media available from Millipore Corporation of Bedford, Massachusetts. Filter Materials of Waupaca, Wisconsin also produces a wide array of media suitable for the device of the present invention.
  • the first support /media sandwich is further sandwiched between two second supports and said second support knife seal contacts said media.

  • the inventors have determined the appropriate pressures for a variety of materials, the pressure can be measured with a torque wrench or load cell.
  • Table 1 provides the stacking pressures and corresponding heights of a variety of materials available from Filter Materials.
  • this embodiment is practiced by inserting the assembled component sandwich (supports and media layers) between first and second end caps, said first end cap having a first end of a rod fixed thereto, exerting a force on the sandwich sufficient to set the knife seals into the media and fixing the second rod end to the second end cap.
  • the rod traverses a cavity within the cartridge. Note that the inlet support and the outlet support as provided in Figures 3A and B can accommodate a rod traversing through the center of the cartridge. This center cavity also serves as a conduit for the filtrate.
  • the second end cap has an aperture designed to receive said second end and the rod is fixed therein after the appropriate force is exerted on the sandwich.
  • the rod is fixed therein by bonding.
  • the aperture and the rod contain screw threads and said rod is fixed in said aperture by being screwed therein.

  • the flow path 60 provides how after the filtrate leaves the depth media 58, the outlet support knife seal 54 prevents back flow of filtrate.
  • the rod 62 is fixed to an end cap 64 and an outlet end cap 66 containing perforations (not shown) that allow the filtrate to escape the cartridge and the housing.
  • the nub 65 is an artifact of the manufacturing process and is not required.
  • the rod 62 is fixed to the outlet end cap 66.
  • the end cap 66 is sealed to the housing 51 adjacent the outlet 50 so that all fluid entering the outlet 50 must first pass through the media 58.

  • Other means such as bonding of the end cap 66 to the portion of the housing 51, the use of different gasket configurations and placements and other sealing arrangements for cartridge designs as are well known in the art may be used.
  • the components of the cartridge are then assembled in a manner consistent with Figure 2. Then, pursuant to Table 1 , a force is exerted on the end cap 64 until the desired pressure is reached, depending upon the material and the height desired.

  • Figure 3B provides a top view of the inlet support 53 and Figure 3A provides a top view of the outlet support 55.
  • Both supports provide ribs 57 that facilitate the separation and support of the media layers. These ribs are not lenticular in design, but are relatively flat or planar in design.
  • the ribs 57 may be circular, square or polygonal in cross section.
  • the separation provides the channels through which fluid that has passed through the media may reach the outlet of the device.
  • the inlet support provides an inner knife seal 56 and one or more inlet channel openings 52.
  • the outlet support 55 provides an outer knife seal 54. Both supports provide center apertures 58 to allow for the flow of filtrate.
  • Figure 4 shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention for large scale or production filtration.
  • This layer 124 is unlike the lenticular support discs of the prior art. It is formed of a relatively flat support such as a screen, preferably a bi-directional screen or a perforated sheet of material such as a sheet of plastic or metal having a series of holes formed throughout its surface or the radially projecting dicks as described above in Figures 3A and B. If desired, when using a perforated sheet, one may add some corrugations or discrete standoffs or spacer points to the sheet to create the spacing needed for the easy flow of fluid from the media to the outlet of the device.
  • Large scale devices are typically contained within metal, preferably stainless steel such as 316 stainless steel housings which contain an inlet on the lower side or bottom and an outlet through a center hollow shaft.
  • the filters are assembled either individually, as a subseries of the entire stack or as an entire stack on the center shaft. See US 5,085,780 Figure 5 for an example of such a well-known large scale housing.
  • the use of the preferred bi-directional screen is shown.
  • the support 124 is formed a central aperture 125.
  • the space 126 between the upper support layer 127 and the lower support layer 128 forms a channel that is in fluid communication with the central aperture 125.
  • the outer peripheral edges of the porous media 121 and the support layer 124 are sealed by an edge 130 that provides an integral fluid-tight seal to the outer edge of the device.
  • a disk 131 is interposed between the support layer 124 and the downstreammost layer of the fibrous media 121 around the central aperture 125.
  • This disc 131 prevents any collapse of the media 121 into the support layer 124 as the inner edge of the assembly is compressed to form a liquid tight seal around the inner periphery of the media. Therefore all fluid entering the core must do so by having passed through the layer of porous media and the support layer.
  • Figure 5 shows a material useful as the support layer 124 of the embodiment of Figure 4. It is a bi-directional screen 132 having an upper layer 133 of parallel strips secured to a lower layer 134 of parallel strips such that the strips of the upper layer 133 are arranged at an angle to the direction of the strips of the lower layer 134.
  • the strips of the first layer 133 are arranged at an angle between about 5 and 175° of the strips of the second layer 134.
  • the strips of the first layer 133 are arranged at an angle of between about 30 and 150° of the strips of the second layer 134, more preferably between about 60 and 120° of the strips of the second layer 134.
  • Figure 6 shows an alternative embodiment of the support layer 124 of Figure 4.
  • one layer 135 of the support structure 124 is formed radially of flat (non-lenticular) strips from a central portion with the other layer 136 intersecting one or both surfaces of the radial layer 135 as a series of concentric rings of varying and progressively larger diameters as they get farther from the center of the layer.
  • the other layer may be formed of parallel strips such as is shown in Figure 7 by layer 137.
  • the form of the support layer is not critical so long as it is self-supportive, flat ( non- lenticular) and capable of maintaining that fluid pathway between the media and the central aperture in use.
  • Screening especially bi-directional screening is preferred due to its high flow and strength, low cost and the ability to simply purchase the material and not needing to make specially molded components such as lenticular ribs and connecting arcs.
  • These screens have two layers of strips which are formed on top of each other. As shown in Figure 5, they differ from traditional screen in that the strips of one layer do not weave over and under the other layer.
  • Bi-directional screening is available from a variety of sources including US Netting. Inc, dba Naltex of Austin, Texas. Traditional screening (where one layer is woven over and under the other layer) can be used provided it meets the required levels of flow and strength.
  • a preferred bi-directional screen will use strips from about 0.046 inch (.117mm) to about 0.2inch (5.08mm) in thickness.
  • the layer should be made of components thick enough to provide the flow and strength characteristics desired, preferably without losing the space advantage caused by the use of the flat material rather than the lenticular devices of the past.
  • the number of openings in a given area of structure can vary widely, but should enough to generate good flow at low pressure differentials and to be supportive of itself and the media imposed upon it. Typically they will have openings from about 3 mm by 3mm to about 15mm to about 15mm. Generally, the higher the opening count per a given area, the smaller the openings, the greater the resistance to flow and the greater the strength. Conversely, the lower the openings number per given area, the greater the size of the openings and the greater the flow and the less strength imposed by the screen. One simply needs to balance these factors in selecting the correct sized screen.
  • porous media may be cast upon each other and /or on to the non-lenticular support structure. They may be arranged as a group and sealed together as a unit by edge seals, compression seals such as clamps or knife edges and other means well known in this art.
  • Figure 8 shows a cross sectional view of two adjacent disks according to the present invention. To the extent that the same elements as in Figure 4 are used in Figure 8 they have been given the same reference number.
  • disk 140 and disk 141 have a series of supports 142 at or near the outer edge 130 of the disks. As shown, these supports 142 are nubs formed on the outer edges of both disks 140 and 141 , although if desired they could be formed on only one edge of each disk, this edge preferably being the same through out the filter assembly.
  • Figure 9 shows an alternative embodiment in cross sectional view of two adjacent disks according to the present invention. To the extent that the same elements as in Figure 9 are used in Figure 4 they have been given the same reference number.
  • a separate support layer 143 such as the same material used to form the central support layer 124 of each disk. This support layer 143 extends from the outer edge 130 of each disk to the center aperture 125, forming a space or relatively constant distance between the adjacent disks so that fluid may flow between the disks and access all of the surface area of the fibrous media 121 on both sides 122, 123 of each disk.
  • the device of the present invention has significantly more capacity for a given area than the prior art devices. For example, in a large scale device of the present invention, one can easily achieve twice the capacity of a current lenticular product. Typically, one can obtain from about 2 to about 5 times the capacity of a lenticular product. This is due to the reduction in space used by the support and the ability to add additional filter media in lieu of the bulky lenticular support in that area.
  • the device has the same basic configuration regardless of scale, one can make linearly scalable devices which enable one to understand how the device will in a given process regardless of the scale at which it is tested, be it lab scale, pilot scale or full production scale.
  • the lenticular supports are molded and tend to warp at higher use pressures or temperatures due to the molded in stresses in the lenticular structures. This causes the supports to warp and bend, cracking the media and reducing flow by contacting the adjacent filter and thereby closing off flow in areas of the device.
  • the supports of the present device do not exhibit the stresses even when made by molding as their relative height as compared to the lenticular device is much smaller and the supports have significantly less strength as compared to the lenticular design so that they are unable to distort the entire filter structure as occurs with the lenticular design.
  • the system of the present invention comprised of a series of individual filters is self supported. That is each filter contacts the other either via the nubs on the outer edges (if used) or the feed flow device interposed between the adjoining filters.
  • the filters stay flat and lay adjacent to each other with the feed flow device allowing the necessary upstream flow of fluid into the media. This makes the devices self supporting, something not contemplated by the current lenticular designs.
  • due to the relatively flat and self supported design there is less swelling, distortion and cracking of the media than occurs with the current lenticular design. As each filter lays flat against the next filter and the feed flow device, such as a bi-directional screen of Figure 9, is interposed between them the weight of the entire system controls the level of swelling of the media that may occur. Additional as discussed the filters do not warp which means that issues of media cracking and distortion are eliminated.
