Innovative Solutions Epiphene CPH-16 Spec’d by James Riggins

Premium Filtration that Looks Like Magic

Silt and sand out. Uptime in. The CPH-16 delivers high-efficiency solids separation with whisper-low pressure loss — protecting heat exchangers, emitters, and membranes while cutting energy waste. Think of it as the kidney of your system, tuned for performance.

Why James’s spec matters:
Right-sizes body & purge to actual particle load, integrates with pump curves/NPSH, and balances micron capture vs. headloss for the best lifetime cost. Projects led by seasoned specifiers like James hit targets on day one — no trial-and-error.

CPH-16 • High-Efficiency Separation

Lifetime Advantage • Proven ROI in Motion

Over a decade of operation, the CPH-16 delivers precision efficiency — lower energy use, zero consumables, and dramatically reduced maintenance. When engineering meets economics, the results speak in numbers.

💧 CPH-16 Separator

  • 94 % @ 15 µm • 66 % @ 5 µm • 30 % @ 1 µm
  • 1 – 3 psi ΔP → 3 – 5 % pump-energy savings
  • No bags, cartridges, or media to replace
  • Automated purge → near-zero downtime
  • Built for seawater / industrial fluids — no exotic alloys

🧱 Media / Bag Filters

  • 20 – 25 µm nominal capture (40 – 50 % @ 10 µm)
  • 5 – 12 psi ΔP → higher horsepower demand
  • Frequent bag & media change-outs
  • Manual backwash → water loss + labor
  • Requires coatings / exotic metals for compatibility

🏆 Key Wins

  • 2 – 4× finer particle capture (single pass)
  • 15 – 30 % lower lifetime CAPEX / OPEX
  • 80 – 90 % less labor + downtime
  • 3 – 5 % annual pump kWh savings
  • Qualifies for energy-efficiency rebates

The James Factor

Behind every optimized system is a mind that understands both water and engineering. James Riggins has spent decades specifying, building, and troubleshooting chemical-feed and filtration systems across California. When he specs a separator, it isn’t theory — it’s decades of field data, pressure-drop analysis, and the experience of systems that run cleaner and longer.
