What Filter Housings are Suitable for Chemical Solvent Filtration?cid=191


Chemical solvent is a substance that can dissolve solids, liquids, gases, common types of solvents are aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons, alicyclic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, esters, ketones, glycol derivatives, etc., and inorganic solvents are generally acidic solvents, alkaline solvents, amphoteric solvents, inert solvents and so on. Different components of chemical solvents will choose the corresponding material filter, usually choose PPH filter housing, PVDF filter housing and FRP filter housing.


PPH (Polypropylene Homopolymer) Filter Housing


1. What are the types of PPH filter housing?


Ⅰ. PPH Bag Filter Housing

PPH Bag Filter Housing can be categorized into swing bolts type and screw cap type according to the structure of the filter housing. Hongtek's PPH bag filters can be adapted to different sizes of bags (e.g., Size #1, Size #2, Size #4, Size #5 and Size#6, etc.) according to the requirements, and there are also multi-bag PPH filter housing to choose from.

PVDF (Polyvinyl Fluoride) Filter Housing


1. What are the types of PVDF filter housing?


Ⅰ. PVDF Bag Filter Housing

The housing body and cover of Hongtek's PVDF bag filter is fixed and locked through swing bolts, which are suitable for size #2 filter bag. Since PVDF filter housing are usually used to filter highly corrosive chemical solvents, filter bags made of highly corrosion-resistant materials such as PVDF, PTFE and PES are generally selected.

FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) Filter Housing


1. What are the types of FRP filter housing?


Ⅰ. FRP Bag Filter Housing

The housing body and cover of FRP filter housing is fixed and locked through SS316 swing bolts. It is usually installed with size #2 filter bag. In order to meet the different flow requirements of various project sites, Hongtek provides FRP bag filter that can be adapted to 1 bag, 3 bags, 4 bags, 5 bags, 6 bags and 7 bags.
