Epiphene
CPH-16 chemical-free sub-micron silt separation skids and LPD-Mag magnetic Y-strainers for ECM pump protection — physical alternatives to chemical scale and fouling control.
Epiphene makes the CPH-16, a chemical-free sub-micron silt separation skid in four tiers from 30 to 1,000 GPM, and the LPD-Mag magnetic Y-strainer. The CPH-16 removes the 0.1 to 10 micron particles that seed mineral scale rather than inhibiting it chemically. LPD-Mag protects ECM pumps from iron oxide. A stackable media filter polishes down to 5 micron.
What LibertyCES specifies from Epiphene
Chemical-free, sub-micron solids separation — removes the nucleation-seed particles that cause scale, instead of chemically inhibiting crystal growth. Towable, plug-and-play deployment.
Polishing stage after CPH-16 separation for RO pre-treatment, process water reuse, and irrigation silt removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is nucleation-seed removal and how does it prevent scale?
Mineral scale doesn't form spontaneously — heterogeneous nucleation occurs when dissolved minerals precipitate onto pre-existing 0.1–10 micron silt or biological particles. Removing those seed particles physically prevents scale formation, as an alternative to chemical antiscalant dosing.
What does the Epiphene LPD-Mag strainer protect against?
ECM (electronically commutated motor) pumps have powerful internal magnets that attract iron oxide into the pump's wet rotor, wearing through the housing over time. The LPD-Mag's magnetic drywell insert intercepts that iron oxide upstream before it reaches the pump.
What flow rates does the CPH-16 skid cover?
Four tiers: 30–100 GPM, 100–250 GPM, 200–500 GPM, and 500–1000 GPM, all with towable/tow-booster deployment options.
