High Flow Steam Filters

High flow steam filter applications are unique when compared to a typical single vessel steam filter applications. Most high flow applications use lower pressure steam for safety purposes. The High flow and low pressure typically used requires that a large or multiple filters be used to effectively filter the steam while maintaining a low pressure drop. High flow applications normally require large pipe connection sizes. The typical large single element steam filter has a limit to the steam capacity and inlet/out size it can handle prior to needing to use two, or more, filters in series. Filtering in series can be very expensive due to the number of housings being purchased as well as the connection piping pre and post filter assembly.

Micropure’s High Flow Steam Filters are designed to:

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

The picture to the right shows the difference between the two types of media. Our media (top picture) traps all particles upstream on top of the media. The standard element from a competitor’s filter traps and absorbs the contaminates introduced by the steam source. Unlike other filters that have a shorter life and must be disposed or removed frequently for acid cleaning, MICROPURE filter media can be easily and repeatedly cleaned by backflushing for a full year under normal use. When replacement finally becomes necessary, the cost is considerably less than our competitors. The reason: only the media is replaced, not the entire element.

MICROPURE has the filter size you need from 10 lbs/hr to 100,000 lbs/hr (at 100 psi, 1 um grade). Micropure has filters with micron rating from 1-100 to ensure that your exact requirements are met.

If requirements change, you can often keep the same housing. By changing the media porosity or the number of segmented filter discs you can meet your new requirements. With MICROPURE, steam filtration is simple, effective and cost efficient.

How MicroPure Steam Filters do it better

Single Housing Design

Using a single housing removes need for piping multiple housings to your steam source.
Housing is designed to your specific application requirements and can handle any number of elements
Inlet and Outlet connection sizes to match your current piping.
Single housing allows you to reduce your number of connections resulting in reducing possibility of leaks and pressure loss.

Steam Filtration Security

Woven stainless steel media with absolute micron retention to fit your need. We have media from 1 micron to 100 micron for a variety of applications.
Each Filter disc works independently allowing for maximum filtering capability and low PSID.
Elements are supported by a stainless steel tension rod and parts that provides continued support upstream and downstream of the filter media.
The design of Micropure Segmented Filters has been subjected to extensive testing in Europe and the United States.

Application design Versatility

The required element quantity, height and diameter are determined by your application’s pressure, flow rate and micron level. This gives each application an individualized fit.
Unlike conventional cartridge filters, Micropure’s Segmented filters can handle bi-directional flow.
Filters allow higher flow rates per inch of element height than conventional filters.
High Pressure and Temperature Tolerances

Reusable and adjustable filter elements

Stainless Steel segmented support discs and media will outlast the conventional cartridge style filters.
Since each filtration media piece acts independently, increasing flow rate capacity can be achieved by simply adding more media pieces & segmented element support discs.

Long Term Economical Advantages

Media is extremely thin and does not absorb particulate or contaminants. This leads to long filter life prior to need of replacement.
Media can be cleaned up to 150 times by a variety of methods.
You only replace the filter media discs. The segmented element support discs and housing stay in the filter for its entire life. This leads to substantial cost savings over replacing the entire element.
Cost of Ownership is significantly less than competitors.

No other filter offers this combination of features:

Segmented design allows exchange of media to meet changing requirements, inspect elements, or to replace old elements
Media available in multiple sizes from 1 to 100 microns and 4 diameter sizes for exceptional versatility
Housing and Segmented Discs warranted for 5 years
Bi-directional flow capability
Built of high grade stainless steel- to tolerate extreme pressure and temperature variations for unlimited reusability
Easy to design into virtually any process system
