New technologies enhance metallic filter elements

| By Chemical Engineering

Porvair Filtration Group

This company has launched a range of surface-modification technologies that can be applied to metallic filter elements (photo) to enhance their material properties in challenging environments, improving filter performance and lifetime. Sinterguard PHC extends the life of 316 stainless steel and exotic alloys in highly corrosive fluid environments. Sinterguard HTR extends the service life of 316L stainless steel and exotic alloys at elevated temperatures. In addition to corrosion resistance, these technologies can enable increased temperature resistance, enhanced chemical compatibility or inertness, improved cleanability (both in situ within the process or offline) and enhanced wear resistance. — Porvair Filtration Group, Ltd., Fareham, U.K.
