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. 

Why you need Culinary Steam

This is some information from Micropure Filtration regarding their Culinary Steam filters 

Culinary Steam filters are an essential part of any processing facility. They will help protect equipment and process filters from damage. They can remove debris and scale that are present in steam lines and systems. By ensuring quality steam, you can reduce your downtime and increase your processing efficiency.
Culinary rated Steam Filters are filters remove 95% of particulates 2 microns or lager. However with Micropure's absolute rated filter media it will be removing 99+% of particulates at your chosen micron level. Micropure offers media in 1, 2, 3, and 5 micron ratings to fit your exact requirement. By using their Culinary Steam filter, your steam used in mixing, agitating or cooking will be free from contaminates that could possibly spoil the appearance, smell, or taste of your final product.

More than the media:

A Stainless Steel housing and a segmented element design support the filter media. This design helps maintain its integrity and absolute rating under conditions that cause conventional sintered media to disintegrate and lose effectiveness. Micropure Filter media can be easily cleaned or back flushed in place removing the need for acid cleaning or frequent disposals. Their segmented design allows you to only have to replace the filter media instead or having to replace the entire element. This will offer you a substantial cost savings compared to a typical sintered or pleated element.

Segmented Filtration

Adapts to a Variety of Factors 

MicroPure is a leader in Segmented Filters. They use a sandwich technique to self-seal filter media between specially designed segments of stainless steel, once they are clamped securely with a tension rod that connects the end segments forming the cartridge.

Looking at the cut-out; air, gas, or liquids flow into the openings on the outside of a segment, They then pass through the filter material and into the next segment. The filtered air, gas or liquid then exits through the center of the filter and out of the filter housing.

Some key points of Segmented Filters

• The number of segments and type of medium are determined by the application.
• Each filter medium functions independently,
• You can increase throughput by adding segments and filter media.
• The cartridge can be disassembled and reassembled quickly and easily.
• The two-way MicroPure design provides equal support for the filter media in both directions so you can reverse the flow if your application requires.

Fixing a sticky situation

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when you are choosing a filter, but maple syrup was never on that came to mind.

I was reading a slightly entertaining case study provided by Micropure Filtration called Fixing a Sticky Situation, of course I thought it was just a play on words, but in fact they had a situation where maple syrup was clogging up their filters long before they should have. And here's the unexpected part, they weren't filtering the syrup. It was the air that had the syrup in it.

According to this particular case study, the client used maple syrup in their recipe, but when the syrup was heated some of the stickiness was released into the air, then when the tanks were emptied the filters were clogging up with the sticky air. 

They were able to solve the problem by switching out the PTFE media which absorbed the syrup with a different material that would not absorb any of the maple syrup. They decided on FMS media which is made of the high quality woven stainless steel and comes in many different micron levels and does not absorb maple syrup!

Sterile Gas Filters

Why you need sterile gas filters

To reduce batch contamination, spoilage and product loss, effective sterile gas filtration is a necessary part of your process. Especially important in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, sterile gas filtration protects your product from harmful submicron particle contamination and bacterial transfer or growth.

MicroPure Segmented Filters feature a patented design that offers significant advantages over conventional filter cartridges.

The results are unquestionable: MicroPure Segmented Filters, designed for two-way flow, ensure consistent, uncompromised security for any application.

Mini Filter Series

If you have a small application or a small budget the Mini Filter Series might be the solution to your filtration needs. The same great quality and exceptional features at a lower cost to you.

Keeping an organic product through an organic process

USDA guidelines state that steam used in organic processes must have 2 important features.

• The first is that the steam is free from boiler chemicals.
• The second is that any piping or equipment is stainless steel to ensure no rust or particles end up in the other phases of the process or the final product.

The Micropure Culinary Steam filter is made from 100% Stainless steel. The Housing, Element, Media and support structure are all made from high quality stainless steel. The media that is installed in a Micropure steam filter is absolute rated media at 3 micron. This absolute micron rating, which is below the 5 micron rated required by the 3-A culinary standard, ensures that the removal of boiler chemicals that would affect the organic process.

Why you need sterile tank vents

Sterile tank vents reduce batch contamination, product loss, and spoilage. Effective sterile submicron filtration is a necessary part of any sterile process. This is especially important in consumables such as food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Sterile vent filtration protects your product from submicron particle contamination and bacterial growth or transfer.

 

To reduce the possibility of contaminating your product during emptying and filling of vessels a tank vent or breather filter is essential. This filter will help maintain safe, balanced pressure during the process.

 

We've found that MicroPure's tank vents are excellent for this process. They are:

• Self-sealing PTFE membranes with a 0.2 micron retention efficiency for air and gas.
• Each Filter Membrane works independently allowing for maximum filtering capability.
• A stainless steel tension rod and parts that provides continued support upstream and downstream of the filter membrane.
• The design of Micropure Segmented Filters has been subjected to extensive testing in Europe and the United States.  

Micropure Tank Vents also have terrific Application Versatility:

• The required segmented element length and diameter are determined by your application giving each application an individualized fit.
• Unlike conventional cartridge filters, Micropure's Segmented filters can handle bi-directional flow.
• Filters allow higher flow rates than conventional filters while maintaining submicron bacterial efficiency.**
• High Temperature Tolerance

The rugged, reliable design of Micropure Segmented Filters has been subjected to extensive testing in Europe and the United States, with more than 5,000 systems installed in food-and beverage-processing applications.
