FLOWLINE™ stainless steel bag filter housing for industrial, commercial and OEM applications that do not require a Code Stamp Selecting filtration equipment is the result of many considerations. Installed costs must be weighed against operating costs, while waste disposal costs must also be considered. Is continuous flow necessary or can the filtration equipment be operated […]

Ken Sutherland looks at the characteristics of depth filtration, at the range of equipment used to implement the filtration process, and at how it is used, with a special look at biotechnological applications. Depth filtration, as its name implies, involves the separation of a suspended particle or liquid droplet from its carrying fluid within the […]

There are three primary property considerations of fibers for filtration performance — the choice of fibers, the process of producing the media and the final application. When it comes to performance, the fundamental fiber properties are those that are designed to optimize volume, air permeability, and the pore size of the material.  Volume and air permeability work […]

Nonwovens are commonly used as filtration media. Nonwoven filter media is an engineered fabric comprised of a random arrangement of filaments or fibers. The media has the specific function of filtering or separating components of a fluid (air/gas or liquid) or to act in combination as a prefilter or support for other materials in the […]
