Each type of filter media has unique properties tailored to specific contaminants, operational environments, and maintenance requirements. The choice of media depends on factors like the desired level of filtration, cost, durability, and environmental considerations.
Cartridge Filters
- Types: Pleated, string-wound, or depth filters.
- Materials: Polypropylene, cellulose, or glass fibers.
- Uses: Industrial: Fine filtration in process industries like Power Plant, pharmaceuticals, and food processing.
Metallic Media
- Materials: Stainless steel, aluminum, or sintered metal.
- Uses:
- High-Temperature Environments: Gas turbines, chemical processing plants.
- Industrial Filtration: Separating fine particles in hydraulic fluids, oils, and gases.
- Reusable Applications: Washable and durable filters for long-term use.
Resin Filters
- Materials: Ion exchange resin.
- Uses: To reduce TAN value of FRF oil.
Strainer Filters
