Products & Services
Filter Housings
Filter Housings are vessels designed to hold replaceable filter cartridges, elements, bags or media. These housings may hold one or many filters (which are often stacked) at varying pressures to permit high flow rates and long service life while ensuring that fluids are filtered appropriately and without bypass of unfiltered fluid.
Gas Dryers, Filters, and Purifiers
Gas dryers, filters and purifiers are designed to remove particulates and purify a gaseous process stream. Gas dryers may be an integral part of a gas filter, or a substantive feature. Gas purifiers can remove gaseous contaminants to levels as low as one-part-per-trillion.
Filter Elements
Filter elements are used to remove impurities from liquids. They are used in water treatment systems and fluid processing applications.
Water Filters
Water Filters are used to filter water used as a life-sustaining beverage, food processing and for use in industrial processes.
