1. A Guide to Industrial Filtration

2. Industrial Filtration
Industrial filtration applies to industrial
processes in facilities where airborne particles,
sediment in water or other fluids must comply
with processing standards and compliance
regulations.

3. Industrial Filtration For Airborne
Particles
In industrial facilities, processes emit various
types of airborne particles. Facilities that
produce cement, asphalt, powders and fine
metals emit particulate into air streams and
create hazards. In cases where no pollutant is
involved, product is recaptured for reuse and
industrial filtration is necessary.

4. Industrial Filtration For Water and
Fluids
Industrial facilities that process chemicals
requiring use of water or other fluids need
industrial filtration to separate water or fluid
compounds for refining purposes. For instance,
facilities that produce detergents, solvents,
paints or oil often need industrial filtration to
create variable grades of products. Another
reason for industrial filtration in these types of
facility is regulatory compliance.

5. Types of Industrial Filtration
For airborne capture of particulate, there are a number
of choices of industrial filtration. Many facilities choose
dust collectors to trap particles in large, pre-treated,
coated filtration bags or cartridges. Other facilities use
industrial scrubbers to scrub particles from air streams.
Contained in each industrial scrubber is a specified
type of packing. In some cases, this packing may be
small, plastic or metal filtration packs, depending on
the type of particles entering the scrubbing system.

6. Industrial Filtration - The Basic
Uses
Industrial filtration is usually a separate part of
the operation of the industrial process. The
basic uses are:
. To trap excess product for re-entry into a
compounding system
. To remove contaminants from refined
products
. To trap pollutants before they reach beyond
compliance levels
