Product Review: High Flow Steam Filters

High flow steam filter applications are unique, most high flow applications use lower pressure steam for safety purposes. This usually means high flow and low pressure requires large or multiple filters to effectively filter the steam and maintain the low pressure. High flow applications normally require a large pipe connection.

The typical large single element filter has a limit to the steam capacity and inlet/out size it can handle, before it needs to use multiple filters in series. This can be very expensive due to the number of housings being purchased as well as the connection piping for pre and post filter assembly.

However Micropure’s High Flow Steam Filters are designed with this in mind. They protect expensive equipment, maintain processing efficiency and reduce downtime. As well as protect valves, process equipment and process filters from damage. And most importantly protect you product purity.

Similar to Micropure’s standard steam filter, the high flow steam filters use their patented woven stainless steel filter media – supported by stainless steel segmented discs.

Case Study: The Highs and Lows of Fermentation Filtration: There were several unique problems that this application provided to the client. The first was the high flow rate of steam needed for the fermentation process as well as the sanitation process. The high flow was combined with a low pressure.
