Pentair C

Short Answer

Pentair C-155 is a nominal 10-micron activated-carbon cartridge for electroplating-bath solution filtration. Its cellulose-free construction and post-filter layer help address organic contamination while retaining carbon fines. Select the 10, 20, 30, or 40-inch model from housing fit, recirculation flow, temperature, and bath chemistry.

Pentair C-155 Carbon Filter for Electroplating Bath Filtration

Pentair C-155 Series Electroplating Carbon Cartridge is a 10-micron activated-carbon filter designed specifically for electroplating solution and plating-bath filtration. It is used in process-solution filtration to help control organic contamination and fine particulate without introducing carbon fines into the bath. It is not an RO membrane and is not a stand-alone heavy-metal wastewater treatment system.

Before selection, confirm the bath chemistry, temperature, flow rate, housing, and required cartridge length with the technical team. For general equipment, see industrial filter cartridges and cartridge housings.

Pentair C-155 Series Carbon Cartridge Advantages

• Cellulose-free construction: Cellulose-free structure ensures better chemical compatibility and prevents degradation by aggressive chemical solutions.
• Resistant to acidic and alkaline breakdown: The data sheet lists acidic and alkaline environments up to a 180°F (82°C) limit.
• Integrated post-filtration layer: An additional filtration layer prevents carbon fines from entering the electroplating bath, maintaining solution purity and plating quality.
• Molded endcap gaskets: Endcap gaskets are designed to ease the cartridge replacement process, reducing operational downtime.
• Available in a variety of standard sizes: Eases integration into a variety of existing filtration systems in the industry.

Pentair C-155 Series Carbon Cartridge Applications

• Specially designed for electroplating solutions in the metal finishing industry.
• Used for electroplating-bath filtration and polishing, rather than as a general feed-water filter.
• Suitable for acidic and alkaline environments up to 180°F (82°C), within the datasheet limit.
• Supports high-purity electrolyte filtration to help maintain solution cleanliness and consistent plating operation.

Advantages for Electroplating Industry

With cellulose-free activated-carbon construction and a post-filtration layer, Pentair C-155 Series is designed to reduce organic contaminants and fine particulate that can interfere with plating. The layer helps prevent carbon fines from entering the bath. Wastewater containing heavy metals requires a separate, site-specific treatment train—such as chemical precipitation, ion exchange, or membrane treatment—based on wastewater analysis.

Installation Requirements

1. Ensure the cartridge housing is compatible with the Pentair C-155 Series endcap dimensions and type.
2. Confirm maximum operating temperature does not exceed 180°F (82°C) to maintain cartridge integrity.
3. Install the cartridge according to the flow orientation recommended in your filtration system manual.

When Should a C-155 Cartridge Be Replaced?

Do not set replacement from elapsed time alone. Record differential pressure, recirculation flow, bath appearance, plating-process results, and the change observed after installing a fresh cartridge. Replace it when the system’s operating limit is reached or bath performance deteriorates under the process procedure; do not wait for flow to stop.

Electroplating Bath Filter FAQs

Can C-155 treat electroplating wastewater?

C-155 is intended for electroplating-solution filtration, not as a single unit for electroplating-wastewater treatment. Waste containing heavy metals or cyanide must be designed around the measured wastewater parameters, discharge target, and applicable treatment process.

How do I select a C-155 cartridge size?

Choose C-155X10T, X20T, X30T, or X40T based on the installed housing length, recirculation flow, available space, and the filtration-system designer’s recommendation. Confirm endcap compatibility and the maximum operating temperature before ordering.

Compatibility Information

• Compatible with standard electroplating cartridge housings commonly used in the industry.
• Easily integrated into filtration systems that utilize a 2.63” diameter cartridge.

Ordering Information

• Available in case quantities as per the specification table above.
• When placing an order, please specify the model number C-155 and the required cartridge length.
• PT Watermart Perkasa confirms the model, case quantity, stock, and lead time when a quotation is requested.

Design Functions to Verify

• Cellulose-free construction for compatibility with a suitable bath solution.
• A nominal 10-micron rating across every model in the table.
• A post-filter layer that helps retain carbon fines.
• A choice of 10, 20, 30, and 40-inch lengths for a matching housing.
• A 180°F (82°C) temperature limit in the data sheet; bath chemistry and gaskets still need checking.

Conclusion

Pentair C-155 Series Electroplating Carbon Cartridge is intended for bath-solution filtration that requires cellulose-free carbon media, a nominal 10-micron rating, and a carbon-fines post-filter. Suitability must still be verified against bath chemistry, temperature, flow, housing, and the plant’s process procedure.
