Fiberwind filters under inspection
Our Fiberwind candle filters lined up for quality inspection!
These Brownian mist eliminators, made with wrapped polypropylene filtering media and enclosed in a
stainless steel cage, are set to be installed in a hydrogen line at a chloro-alkali facility. Their role is to remove water mist from H2 in alkali environment.
Why use Polypropylene filter media?
Polypropylene is used because it offers excellent resistance to alkaline environments: when hydrogen (H2) exits the membrane, it carries sodium hydroxide (NaOH), working in an alkaline environment.
In such conditions, a glass fiber candle filter would corrode rapidly. Polypropylene, however, remains stable and effective, making it the most suitable material for this application!
