Why do high pressure systems need filtration?
Finite’s J-Series is designed to filter contaminants such as rust and pipe scale, compressor lube oil, and water from compressed gases.
These filters are often used in high pressure compressed natural gas
(CNG) systems, not only as inter-stage filters in the multiple stage
compression of the gas, but also in the storage and delivery of the
gas to CNG powered vehicles.
Finite’s varied media choices remove up to 99.995% of both solid
and liquid aerosols, and contaminants as small as 0.2 microns in
size. Additionally, cartridges are available with either silica gel or
molecular sieve, these desiccants adsorb water vapor, drying the
high pressure air or gas. An activated carbon media is also available
which removes oil vapor. This stage of filtration is often used as
the final filter before the storage of high pressure breathing air
used by scuba divers, firefighters, and others that utilize portable
breathing devices.
