Proven ROI in Numbers
| Factor | CPH-16 Separator | Media / Bag Filters |
|---|---|---|
| Capture Efficiency | 94% @ 15 µm · 66% @ 5 µm · 30% @ 1 µm (single pass) | 20–25 µm nominal capture (40–50% @ 10 µm) |
| Pressure Drop | 1–3 psi ΔP → 3–5% pump-energy savings | 5–12 psi ΔP → higher horsepower demand |
| Consumables | No bags, cartridges, or media to replace | Frequent bag & media change-outs |
| Maintenance | Automated purge → near-zero downtime | Manual backwash → water loss + labor |
| Materials | Built for seawater / industrial fluids — no exotic alloys | Requires coatings / exotic metals for compatibility |
- 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
Water-conservation compliant (CA & Western US) · Zero landfill consumables · Lower kWh → rebate eligible · Retrofit-ready — no re-piping · ROI under 24 months (typical)
CPH-16 FAQ
What does the Epiphene CPH-16 filter out?
The CPH-16 delivers high-efficiency solids separation — 94% capture at 15 microns, 66% at 5 microns, and 30% at 1 micron in a single pass — protecting heat exchangers, emitters, and membranes from silt and sand.
How does CPH-16 compare to bag or media filters?
CPH-16 achieves 2–4× finer particle capture in a single pass with 1–3 psi pressure drop versus 5–12 psi for media filters, while eliminating consumable bags/media and requiring only automated purge instead of manual backwash.
Does CPH-16 work in seawater applications?
Yes — CPH-16 is seawater-ready and built for industrial fluids without requiring exotic alloys or special coatings.
What is the typical ROI timeline for a CPH-16 retrofit?
Typical ROI is under 24 months, driven by 3–5% annual pump kWh savings, eliminated consumable costs, and 80–90% less labor and downtime compared to bag/media filtration.
