Role of Sintered Mesh Filter Elements in particle separation processes

sintered mesh filter technology

Sintered mesh metal media are perfect for the challenging industrial applications that demand long service and economical solution. The sintered filter media offers outstanding performance in the various liquid-solid and gas-solid filtration applications that occur in the fluid processing industry. Diverse filter media from single to partial- permanent are used for separation of particulate matter. The mesh media is easily cleanable both on and offline and is made for sustainable and prolong operation life in the vigorous conditions. The vigorous services involve the use of corrosive fluids, high temperatures, high pressure spikes usually needing continuous filtration application, are perfect for all-metal filtration units using semi-permanent sintered metal mesh.

Sintered tubular metal elements

The Sintered wire mesh metal tubular elements have excellent particle removal efficiency and shown reliability that often need supreme service for demanding liquid-solids and gas-solids separation processes. The filter elements are weldable, hence the inherent sealing prevents the requirement of troubling seals. These media offer a helpful barrier to confirm particulate eradication to secure the downstream equipment for product separation and to meet health and safety standards.

The applications for sintered metal mesh include:

  1. Gas and liquid filter systems utilized in different nuclear and radioactive waste processing
  2. High efficiency particulate air filter made under department of energy as an alternative to ordinary to HEPA filters made with glass fibers used in the compress gas lines, utility lines, vent lines and gas sampling lines often discovered in lab and small pilot test units that use radioactive materials.

Sintered mesh filter elements for nuclear plants

The sintered element filtration techniques are utilized in nuclear plants and in the processing of radioactive materials. These technologies are used on both liquid and gas media that include a large range of severely corrosive chemical constituents, comprising of particulate matter and a great range of system temperatures and pressures. Filters are used to offer a barrier to confirm particulate removal to secure downstream systems for material separation and to meet the health and safety protocols.

Different types of filter media varying from single to partial-permanent elements are required for separation of particulate media. The traditionally used HEPA filters are made from glass fiber media that are valid for single use only in air and gas filtration units. Unlikely, sintered metal mesh elements are easily cleanable on/off-line and offer longer service life.

Selection of particle selection for specific application

The choice of a suitable particle separation technology for a specific application depends on the criteria with often seemingly conflicting needs such as low pressure drop, good filtration performance and prolong service as well as economical price. The selection procedure for system service media considers factors such as temperature, pressure, gas chemistry, and particle content, corrosivity of particulate matter, particle size distribution and differential pressure drop.

The sintered wire mesh metal media and their performance in the industrial filtration systems are well accepted. The basic filtration process include particle capture need on or within the filter media, process methods and cleaning of deposited particulate matter.
