Stainless steel tank vent filter

Filters selected for tank vent filtration are typically sterile air or gas cartridge filters. They should be hydrophobic, as filters wet out either due to surrounding air humidity or exposure to steam impede the airflow into and out of the tank. They should retain airborne microorganisms and even viruses depending on the application. Finally, they should be correctly sized to avoid tank damage.

When liquids are pumped into and out of tanks on a regular basis. As the tanks are filled, air is forced out of the tank as incoming liquid volume displaces air volume. As they are emptied, surrounding plant air is drawn into the tank to replace liquid volume.

Tank vent filters must be sized such that they do not hinder this airflow in forward or reverse direction, so as not to upset the equilibrium pressure in the tank. In such applications, the tank vent filter is sized to the higher of the pump fill rate or pump draw down rate with the equal airflow rate.

Features of the tank vent filter housing

The housing comes in 5" to 30" sizes to meet the needs of your application. The design provides a clean and easy way to provide filtered air into tanks as well as allows gasses to flow out.

The housing can supports code 7 with 2-226 o-rings. It particulate bypass. The housing is sealed by the use of a tri-clamp that requires no special tools to open or close

suitable for direct connection to tanks in various industries(high purity beverage, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, water treatment, alcohol beverage industry, etc)

According to the material type ,the vent filter can be designed with heating function
