O.V. Roman Powder Metallurgy Institute offers consumers a Filter element for steam sterilization made of titanium powder under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a distribution services agreement.

Global production of sintered titanium powder filter elements for steam sterilization is concentrated primarily in China and the CIS countries, where powder metallurgy is well-developed. These products are widely used in pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemical processes due to the material's high chemical resistance and thermal stability.

Key companies and organizations specializing in the development and manufacture of these filter materials include Filson Filters (China) (a wide range of titanium filters for aggressive environments and sterilization), TEKO-FILTER (Russia) (manufacturing industrial titanium filter elements for reactor equipment), Altech-Ural (Russia) (manufacturing metal-ceramic filters from metal powders, including titanium), and AIDA Filter (China) (professional manufacturer of sintered titanium powder filter tubes).

Titanium filter elements are valued for their ability to operate in harsh conditions (cryogenics, high temperatures, aggressive chemical environments) and their ability to be repeatedly cleaned. When selecting a supplier for steam sterilization applications, it is critical to consider compliance with quality standards (e.g., ISO 9001:2015) and the availability of documentation confirming the effectiveness of microorganism retention.

Developed at the O.V. Roman Institute of Powder Metallurgy, this titanium-based steam sterilization filter element is installed in process lines at food, medical, and microbiological industries. At the customer's request, the manufactured product can be supplied as individual filter elements, as assembled filter elements with flanges, or as complete units.

The information is available in the Catalog "Brands of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus 2021–2022: List of the Most Important Developments of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus" 2023, p. 113.

The main advantage of filter elements is their ability to be sterilized multiple times with steam.

Filter elements for steam sterilization are developed using titanium powder and have no impact on the human body or the environment.
