Chemical Process Filtration Custom Pressure Vessels International Supply
Process-Driven Technical Supply

Filtration Equipment Selected for the Actual Chemistry

Chemical plants process solvents, acids, alkalis, resins, slurries and other demanding streams. Effective filtration starts with the contamination, chemical composition and operating conditions, rather than simply a nominal micron rating.

01

Protect the Process

Reduce unwanted solids entering valves, pumps, heat exchangers, downstream filters and sensitive manufacturing stages.

02

Handle Demanding Fluids

Evaluate wetted materials, seals, corrosion, viscosity, temperature, differential pressure and cleaning methods.

03

Support Project Procurement

From replacement elements to custom process packages, review technical specifications and documentation through a single supply contact.

Core Chemical Applications

Chemical Manufacturing Filtration Applications

Different chemical processes call for different filtration principles. We help select suitable media and equipment for the required process objective.

01

Fine Chemicals, Solvents & Intermediates

Clarification, polishing and particle control in compatible solvent and intermediate chemical streams. Chemical compatibility and retention performance are evaluated for each duty.

02

Catalyst Recovery & Retention

Metallic filter elements and multi-element configurations for recovering catalyst fines or retaining solid catalysts in suitable high-temperature and chemical processes.

03

Polymers, Resins & Adhesives

Filtration of selected viscous products, gels and process contaminants. Self-cleaning liquid filtration and specialist metallic media can be considered where appropriate.

04

Acids, Alkalis & Aggressive Media

Chemical-resistant housings and filtration media for processes requiring a documented materials review. Stainless steels, engineering polymers and selected specialty alloys are available by specification.

05

Chemical Process Gases & Vents

Particulate and selected membrane filtration for compatible process gases, inert gas systems, tank venting and plant utilities.

06

Process Water, Cooling & Effluent

Protect cooling-water circuits, filter process water and address suspended contamination in suitable wastewater-treatment stages.

Filtra Supply Capabilities

From Replacement Elements to Engineered Process Equipment

We supply industrial filtration products and coordinate project-specific equipment from qualified manufacturing partners, with final specifications and conformity requirements agreed before manufacture.

01

Filter Bags, Cartridges & Media

Standard and specialist felt, mesh, depth, pleated, high-flow and membrane filter elements for compatible process liquids and utilities.

02

Custom Filter Housings

Single and multi-bag housings, basket strainers, candle and cartridge vessels, modular arrangements, duplex/changeover systems and quick-opening options.

03

Porous Sintered Metal

Sintered powder, metal-fibre and multi-layer mesh elements in candle, cartridge, disc, tube and engineered configurations for cleanable or high-temperature duties.

04

Automatic Self-Cleaning Filters

Mechanical scraper and wedge-wire systems for suitable process liquids with elevated particulate loading, viscosity or frequent consumable changes.

05

Pressure Vessels & Special Apparatus

Project-sourced pressure vessels, heated vessels, process tanks, fixed-tube and U-tube heat exchangers, columns and custom stainless-steel apparatus.

06

Skids & Process Assemblies

Specified filtration skids, modular units, vessel assemblies and associated piping packages for new lines, capacity upgrades or plant modifications.

Engineering & Materials

Pressure Equipment, Alloys & Documentation

We can source customised equipment to defined pressure-equipment and fabrication requirements. The applicable design code, conformity route and manufacturer-issued documents are agreed for each order.

Pressure Equipment & Fabrication

  • PED 2014/68/EU: Applicable EU pressure-equipment conformity assessment, including Module A2 or Module G where appropriate.
  • AD 2000: German technical rules for applicable pressure equipment, including relevant manufacturing requirements.
  • ASME Section VIII, Division 1: U-stamped vessel supply where specified, available and contractually agreed.
  • ISO 3834-3: Welding-quality requirements for applicable fabricated metallic equipment.

Materials, Construction & Testing

  • Stainless steels such as 304L, 316L and 904L, and selected duplex and superduplex grades.
  • Selected nickel alloys for demanding chemical environments, subject to process suitability.
  • Custom nozzle layout, closures, drains, vents, internals, surface finish and corrosion allowance.
  • As required: drawings, material certificates, welding records, NDT, pressure and leak tests, and inspection documentation.

Design rules, welding-quality standards and PED conformity modules are different requirements. A design to AD 2000 or ASME does not itself establish PED conformity. CE marking, ASME stamps and certificates are supplied only when applicable to the finished equipment and included in the agreed supply scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chemical Process Filtration FAQ

Can you supply custom filter housings for chemical process plants?

Yes. We can source custom bag, basket, cartridge and candle filter housings, including multi-unit and quick-opening configurations. Final design, materials and documentation depend on the operating conditions and project specification.

Can filter housings be supplied under PED, AD 2000 or ASME requirements?

Project-specific vessels can be supplied through suitably qualified manufacturers under the applicable design and conformity requirements. PED 2014/68/EU, AD 2000 and ASME Section VIII have different roles; the correct route is agreed for each equipment item.

Which materials are available for aggressive chemical processes?

Depending on process compatibility, options may include stainless steels such as 316L and 904L, duplex and superduplex grades, selected nickel alloys and compatible polymeric media. Material suitability must be confirmed against the complete chemical composition and service conditions.

Do you supply sintered metal elements for catalyst recovery?

Yes. Sintered powder, fibre and wire-mesh media can be evaluated for catalyst retention, recovery and other high-temperature or reusable filtration duties. Selection is based on particle characteristics, temperature, pressure drop, cleaning strategy and vessel design.

Can you support resin, polymer and high-viscosity filtration?

We can review self-cleaning wedge-wire systems, metallic filter elements and engineered housings for suitable resin, adhesive, polymer and other viscous process streams. Polymer melt and liquid resin duties require different equipment assessments.

Can an EPC contractor request equipment from drawings or a datasheet?

Yes. Send drawings, a process datasheet, material specifications, applicable standards and an inspection/documentation schedule. We can review the supply scope and prepare a project-specific quotation.
