Category: Bag Filters
Series: MPS
Model format: `MPS-[MEDIA]-[MICRON]-[SIZE]-[SEAL]-[OPTIONS]`
Example: `MPS-PO-10-BN`

## Overview
Nominal pleated bags with deep-pleat dual-layer media deliver high area and low initial dP for longer life, while inside-out flow and thermally bonded end caps with elastomer seals ensure a silicone-free, leak‑tight fit

## How It Works
Pleated media delivers high surface area and nominal retention, capturing fine particulate and gels

Inside, flow traps contaminants within the bag; outer wrap protects pleats from abrasion

Rigid internal core resists collapse at rising differential pressure

## Applications
- Water and wastewater prefiltration and polishing; membrane pretreatment
