Features

• High strength and dimensional stability
• No media migration
• Continuous operating temperature range of -50° C to 550° C ( -65° F to 1000° F)
• Stainless steel construction
• Corrosion/abrasion resistant
• Custom configurations, including layers of perforated plate, fiber metal felts and photo-etched foil
• Precise pore size distributions and fluid flow permeability
• Easily cleaned/back-flushed

Furnace sintering at over 1100º C in a controlled atmosphere causes metal molecules to migrate across contact points of the various layers. Recrystallization takes place to form a completely integrated structure.

Product Benefits Lower initial pressure drop Longer on-stream life Reduced labor required to change out filters Fewer elements required for new installations Reduced operator exposure to hazardous chemicals Reduced disposal of hazardous materials

This image shows a cross section of the Poroplate® Cleanable Media. Fine mesh captures contaminants on the upstream surface. Downstream support layers provide open flow channels for low differential pressure, high flow rates and long filtration cycles. Poroplate® media backflushes well, yielding like-new filter elements.

Poroplate® Filter Elements provide unmatched performance in a wide range of applications, including:

• Chemical Processing - Removal of precious metal catalyst from an organic intermediates stream
• Gases - Filtration of fine particles in nitrogen stream
• Polymers - Removal of gels and black specks in polyethylene, polypropylene, and fluorinated polymers
• Food/Beverage - Removal of iron oxides in steam service; removal of pulp from fruit juices
• Power Generation Plants - Pre-coated Poroplate® tubes remove iron oxide and other impurities from condensate water
