Fiberglass media was considered a breakthrough in filtration technology when it was first introduced, because of its unique combination of high removal efficiencies and high permeability. Microglass fibers have very fine diameters, resulting in more void space, thus providing greater dirt-holding capacity and increased flow rates. The fibers also have high surface charges, enabling them to attract polar compounds, such as water, out of hydrocarbon process streams. This “wettability” makes fiberglass filters effective coalescers, removing water and other liquids from compressed air, refined product gases, and natural gas, sour gas, methane, and CO2 gases. Our fiberglass gas filters have extensive use in such diverse applications as gas gathering, dehydration units, sweetening plants, tail-gas treaters, industrial gas separation, sewage & landfill digester gas, and cogeneration facilities. |
