Filters play an important role in any industrial society. A properly designed filter system can eliminate costly problems by removing contaminants making the fluid more valuable and help increase product yields. The main categories of filtration:
Solid-Liquid Separation
for the purposes of this, two main types of filter exist: media synthetic cloth or metal. The choice of media depends on filtration removal efficiency, process requirements, filter technology, characteristics of the solids and liquids, and other parameters such as chemical and thermal resistance.
The main categories of filtration:
Solid Gas Separation
The separation of solids from gas streams is a common unit operation in production plants. Gas-solid separation is important both as a device to recover product but also a key technology for environmental control. ALEFCO is able to supply the best filters to handle.
Liquid-Liquid Separation (water removal from oil or oil removal)
When two liquids are immiscible, or non-soluble in one another, they can form either an emulsion or a colloidal suspension. In either of these mixtures, the dispersed liquid forms droplets in the continuous phase. The best way to separate tis type of mixture is COALESCER and ALEFCO can supply wide range of them.
Liquid-Gas Separation (removal of oil or water from natural gas)
Removing liquids from a gas stream is very important in refining and gas processing applications. Effective removal of these contaminants can prevent costly problems and downtime with downstream equipment like compressors, turbines, and burners. Liquid-Gas coalescer is very good solution to protect down stream equipment.
