High-flow Filter Housings and Wedge Wire Screen Filter Elements for Industrial Distillation

Mar. 30, 2023

Industrial distillation

In contrast to ethanol, methanol or “wood alcohol” is a highly toxic substance whose ingestion can lead to blindness or death. It is widely used in industry for applications in adhesives, plastics, and other products, and was once produced by the distillation of wood.

Today, methanol is produced from synthesis gas, itself a product of coal gasification; nonetheless, numerous industrial processes use distillation.

Distillation is employed, for instance, to separate the hydrocarbons benzene and toluene, as well as acetone from acetic acid. In nuclear power plants that require quantities of the hydrogen isotope deuterium, the lighter protium isotope, or plain hydrogen, is separated from the heavier deuterium by means of distillation. Few industries, however, employ distillation to a greater degree than the petroleum industry.

Petroleum and petroleum-product companies account for a large portion of the more than 40,000 distillation units in operation across the country.

Industrial Filtration

There are two basic purposes for filtration: either to capture the solid material suspended in the fluid or to clarify the fluid in which the solid is suspended. Filtration can further be classified as either gaseous or liquid, depending on which of the fluids constitutes the filtrate.

Separation, filtration, and distillation technologies have a broad range of applications in material, chemical and hydrocarbon processing and allied industries. Depending on the type and purpose of the process streams being treated, there are diverse devices and process strategies that can be considered. To help design and optimize separation equipment performance and increase device reliability, our factory design the high-flow filter housings and wedge wire screen filter elements for separation and filtration systems solutions and services

Below is a sample list of applications where high-flow filter housings and wedge wire screen filter elements for separation, filtration and distillation:

Centrifugal filters	Cyclones	Demisters
