The Importance of Coalescing Filters in Industrial Filtration

Various manufacturing processes require industrial filtration systems, and within these systems, coalescing filters have a significant role to play. They are designed for separating liquids from gases as well as isolating them into different chambers thus making them suitable in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries.

How Do Coalescing Filters Work?

Coalescing filters work on two different stages: one is where they separate liquids and gases while the other purifies the gas of any impurities. When the mixture enters the filter, liquid separates from gas as they go through it, with the liquid flowing along fine fibers of an inner layer forming larger drops. These big drops are then gotten rid of by gravity flow, resulting in pure dry gas. The second stage involves purification where impurities are removed from this gas leading to a clean and dry final product.
