Cover Story | A2Z Filtration SpecialitiesNew Developments in FilterManufacturing EquipmentInline pleated pack cutterA2Z Filtration Specialities is adesigner and manufacturerof filter production lines, filtertesting equipment and filter componentswith a client base in over 65countries across six continents. Thecompany has evolved from an equipmentand components supplier to developingcomplete customer solutionsin the field of filter manufacturing.A dynamic work force comprising ofover 50 engineering professionals covereverything from designing, manufacturing,and installation. A2Z provides completeturnkey solutions around the globe,using state-of-the-art Solid Works® 3Ddesign software for design and simulationof filter manufacturing lines.Some of the recent production linesinclude high temperature air filters madefrom glass fiber material, inline pleatedpack cutter and wire mesh, along withblade pleaters for pleat depths down to2.5 mm (0.1”) and servo rotary pleatersalong with pitching system.HIGH TEMP FILTERS MATERIALAs the filtration market grows forhigh temperature air filters, many optionsare available to users based on efficiency,cost and fitment requirements.One popular solution that has emergedis the use of glass fiber pleated materialwith glass fiber ribbon spacer. These airfilters are easy to retrofit into existinghousings/sizes and do not add substantialtooling or initial change over costs.While providing required efficiency,the filter itself consists of glassfiber media, which can withstandtemperature between 400-500˚F. Thispleated media is then separated withglass fiber ribbon on both the in-feedand outlet side to reduce pressuredrop and improve filter life. Thepleated pack (above) is then placed6 • August 2013 • www.filtnews.comPleated pack by A2Z’s intelligent rotarypleater with pitching systemHigh temperature pleated packinto an aluminum/metal frame and isassembled without use of any glue.These filters can easily be placed inany existing housing and provide longlife, better efficiency compared to olddesigns using aluminum separators. Theproduction process tends to be more efficientthus being a more cost effectivesolution for end users.A2Z Filtration makes a pleating lineknown as A2Z Intelligent Blade Pleaterwith Ribbon Pitching System, which

Intelligent rotary pleater along with pitching systemcan produce such filter packs rangingfrom 1” to 6” in width and up to 40”.INLINE PLEATED PACK CUTTERThe Inline Pleated Pack Cutter is aunique offering for filter manufacturerswho require slitting the material afterpleating. This requirement is criticaldue to very tight tolerances, the behaviorof the material while pleating, andthe ability to run multiple webs for increasedproductivity.A2Z Inline Pleated Pack cutter allowsusers to cut the multi layer packs afterthe media is pleated in various widths,with accuracies of ± 0.3mm (± 0.012”).This helps in providing an accurate cutto size filter to meet critical dimensionsup to seven layers, and can cut materialssuch as wire mesh, nylon mesh, membrane,spun bonds, glass fibers, etc.PLEATER WITH PITCHING SYSTEMThe A2Z Intelligent Rotary Pleaterwith pitching system has the ability tochange pleat depth on the fly. The optionof single or twin indenting and theability to pleat both cellulose and nonwovenmedias are provided. Afterpleating, the equipment pitches thepleat and applies paper or hotmeltstrips on the top or bottom or bothsides of pleat. The equipment automaticallycuts the pack based on the lengthor number of pleats. The wholeprocess is achieved without any manualintervention. The equipment is designedto pleat up to 4¼” pleat height.This process is used to manufacturecabin air filter as well HVAC panel filters.Due to its ease of use, versatility and quickreturn on investment, the equipment ispopular with filter manufacturers.Blade pleater for pleat depth down to 0.1 inch or 2.5 mmPLEAT DEPTHS DOWN TO 0.1 INCHA2Z Intelligent Blade Pleater is usedfor very precise pleating including pleatdepths down to 2.5mm (0.1”) as shownin photo above .The advantages of this equipmentare: quick set up and pleat depth rangesfrom 2.5 -152.5mm (0.1” - 6”), givinga quick return on the investment. Forpleating of small steel strips, a provisionis provided to remove the pleatedpack from the feed side; therefore, anoperator is not required to move to thedischarge side to remove the pleat pack.Each of the above systems usesAllen Bradley® or Siemens® Controls,Servo Motors, and other ”state of theart” inputs to provide a perfect fit to thepurpose product.A2Z excels in providing superiorvalue and durable, globally serviceableproduct lines. Components aresourced from leading global suppliersto ensure ease of availability and troublefree maintenance.

Process | EngineeringThe Green Future of LNGBy Haluk Alper, MyCelx Technologies CorporationTable 1: Energy densityWhen all the factors suchas greenhouse warmingpotential, water demandin production and usage, energy densityand availability are considered, it isclear that natural gas will become thepredominant energy source for the nextfew decades, replacing coal and oil inmany cases.Ironically, the adoption of naturalgas as the predominant energy sourcecould actually render the currentgrouping of green alternatives economicallyandecologicallyviable. Currentgreenenergy alternativesarenot reallyvery greenor economicallyviablewhen measuredby thesame parametersasabove, suchas energy density, etc. (Energy densityis the total amount of energy per unitvolume.) They have to be subsidized.The barrier to economic viability is thediscontinuous nature of energy deliveryleading to the need for storage tomeet demand when needed. This ofteninvolves the use of costly and pollution-creatingstorage devices such asbatteries. These discontinuous sourcesof energy can be rendered green byeliminating the need to store energywith a continuous secondary source ofIllustration 1: Corrosive effects of Mercury on Aluminum.

Liquefied naturalgas (LNG) is the logical candidate tofulfill this function as it is plentiful,there are vast reserves of it, and it isrelatively greener than other continuoussources of energy at the cost of arelatively minor loss in energy density(see Table 1).There are two major impedimentsto the adoption of LNG as the nextgeneration “greener” fuel. The firstimpediment has to do with the ultimatefate of the fracking water and theenvironmental impact it will have. Atthis point in time, multiple studieshave been conducted but are inconclusiveas it has been difficult to determinethe diffusion profile of theunrecoverable fracking water. Thesecond impediment is the emergingrecognition of the ubiquitous presenceof mercury. A recently constructednatural gas power plant inAustralia discovered high levels ofmercury. Because of this, the projectcosts have increased by over 60%,now totaling over $5 billion, and de-

Process | EngineeringIllustration 2: Liquid Metal Embrittlement, LNG Plant – Skikda, Algerialayed production by almost five years.There are multiple other recent examplesas well. Concentrations of mercuryvary from region to region, but itis always there. Areas of SoutheastAsia, Europe and Eurasia, for example,can have anywhere from 70 to3,500 µg/m3 of mercury according toa recent report by the Natural ResourcesDefense Council. The worldwideproduction of natural gas is 3.3trillion cubic feet per year. Each 1,000µg/m3 generates 6 million pounds ofmercury. This can theoretically contributefrom nearly 2 million to 21million pounds of mercury from thisregion alone. Some of this mercury isremoved in the production process;approximately one-third is burned offinto the atmosphere at the thermal oxidizers,and the fate of the rest is unknownalthough it is safe to assumethat some of it ends up in the product.Mercury in the production processand in the end product is highly undesirabledue to its corrosive effectson equipment and its detrimental effectsto living things and ecosystems,especially after it is transformed tohighly toxic organic states, which canaccumulate in the food web.The presence of mercury has beenan issue in production (see Illustrations1 and 2) and is now becoming anobstacle in the adoption of LNG in sectors,which are eager to switch. Onesuch sector is commercial shipping.Commercial shipping has found it verydifficult to comply with sulfur and nitrogenoxide emissions with the type offuels they use (Bunker C or marinediesel oil). These fuels are rich in sulfurand highly polluting. Natural gaspractically eliminates this concern (seeTable 2), however, ships are composedprimarily of metal and the concern ofmercury embrittlement of metal mustbe addressed before adoption.12 • August 2013 • www.filtnews.comPROPULSIONMercury is generated with the gasand attempts to remediate are currentlylimited to the productionprocess, in many cases, as an unintendedand undesirable secondary effectof other processes. In theproduction of LNG it is vital to removeall traces of water, hydrocarbonsand other compounds, whichare liquids at room temperature. Ifthese materials pass through to theliquefication process it can result ininefficiency or even catastrophic failure.Therefore, in the production ofnatural gas, multiple redundantprocesses exist for the removal ofthese liquids. Mercury is oftendragged along. The first significantremediation process is coalescence,whereby all the liquids, which can bephysically coalesced are removed andresults in a variable mixture referredto as condensate, which is approximately50% water and 50% assortedhydrocarbons. Some mercury is removedat this stage. After coalescence,polishing processes areemployed, using molecular sieves topolish out any traces of water and activatedcarbon to polish out anyresidual liquid hydrocarbons. Sometimesthe carbon is modified withsulfides, colloidal precious metals orbromides in order to polish out residualmercury. Some mercury is removedat this stage. After theliquefication process, the gas is usuallyprocessed through a reverse osmosismembrane to recover anyresidual liquefiable hydrocarbonsand to discard and burn off non-liquefiablehydrocarbons at the thermaloxidizer. We know that the coalescingand polishing process steps areonly partially effective because measurementsof mercury at the thermaloxidizer can often be as high as 1ppmand concentrations in the retainedgas can be equally high.In order to eliminate the mercuryimpediment, we must understandwhy multiple redundant coalescenceand polishing processes, and even

Process | Engineeringprocess steps designed to react withgaseous mercury, are not effective. Aswith many grand mistakes in science,which can last for centuries, theproblem lies in the very basic, fundamentalassumptions. All of theprocess steps, which directly or indirectlyremove mercury, are predicatedon the mercury behaving either as agas or as a liquid (sulfide modifiedgranular media, coalescence, respectively).MyCelx has discovered thatthe mercury present in LNG is in aunique state. This realization hasbroad implications for mercury remediationtechnologies and we believethis explains the shortcomings of thecurrent approaches. MyCelx is in theprocess of developing elements,which remove mercury by exploitingits true nature present in LNG.As the use of LNG increases, it willbe important to remove mercury duringthe production process in order toavoid catastrophic failure, as a worstcasescenario, and to avoid its releaseinto the environment as an ongoingconsideration. It is also possible thatnatural gas will develop a pricingstructure similar to premium andeconomy gasoline based on theamount of mercury present in the endproduct. The ability to polish residualmercury out of processed LNG willbecome important to adding value,and thus profitability, to the endproduct. MyCelx has completed initialdevelopmental phases and will bepilot testing elements for these applicationsin the near future. MyCelx isdedicated to removing one of themajor hurdles to the implementationof LNG as a cleaner energy source onits own, and also one, which can beused to replace the need for batteriesand storage devices through real-timeaugmentation of discontinuous greenenergy technology.For more information contact:MyCelx Technologies Corp.Tel: 1 770 534 3118Fax: 1 770 534 3117Email: alper@mycelx.comWebsite: www.mycelx.comFNRead more articles online: www.filtnews.com14 • August 2013 • www.filtnews.com

Cartridge | FiltrationControlling Emissions with HighlyEngineered Cartridge Filter TechnologyBy Richard Lydon, VP TechnologyFigure 1: Examples of a range of Compact Filter Elements (CFE) from Clear Edge.Over the last number of yearsClear Edge has been developingits range of specializedcartridge technology for a set of challengingapplications in the de-dustingand the hot gas filtration markets.The solutions have been driven bythe pressing need for industrialprocesses to control emissions to meettighter regulatory standards both inlineand with end of pipe technology.As global emissions in the developedworld have tightened from PM10 to PM2.5 (particulate matter 2.5 micrometers(µm)) Clear Edge has been developingand testing both Compact Filters andHot Gas Filters in a range of industrialprocesses to meet even tighter emissionlimits while maintaining high flowrates and energy efficient systems. Thisarticle outlines some of the new technologyin this family and the next generationof filter products offeringcommercially competitive Air PollutionControl (APC) solutions.16 • August 2013 • www.filtnews.comCOMPACT FILTER ELEMENTSClear Edge compact filter elementsare highly engineered pleated filterunits. The construction is entirely selfsupportingand does not require a supportcage (see Figure 1).Clear Edge CFE, a proprietary technology,which the company is continuouslyadvancing, combines the advantages offilter bags (horizontal installation) andcartridges (high filtration area).CFE can handle high dust load environmentsand can be cleaned efficientlyby reverse pulse cleaning. Thewhole filter area is therefore continuouslyavailable. In recent years therange and size of these elements hasbeen expanded up to 6M 2 per element(approx. 65ft 2 ).

In addition,CFE can be used in difficult environmentsand industrial processes savingenergy and operational costs.Figure 2: CFE technology can reduce filter housing volume by 70% and operatingcosts by 40% in comparison to filter bags and filter sleeves.The main features and benefits ofCFE are:• Up to 3 times more filter areacompared to conventionalfilter bags• Can reduce filter house volume byup to 70% (see Figure 2) saving upto 40% on running and energycosts• High efficiency – in most plantslower than 1mg/Nm 3 emissions(0.0004 grains per scfm)• Long service life (circa 3-5 years)• Excellent cake removal achievedwith reverse pulse cleaning• Simple, quick and clean to installand replace• Can be retrofitted into existingunits• CFE are more compact, makingindoor installations possibleDepending on the application, ClearEdge can customize the filter elementswith different finishes, e.g., oleo- andhydrophobic, temperature resistant,microporous coated, PTFE-membranesurface, antistatic, and many more.Clear Edge has many years of experiencedesigning and using CFE – typicalapplications include:• Welding fumes especially in lasercutting in high purityenvironments• Automotive including paint shopspraying• Construction and mining, i.e.,tunneling• Milling, especially powderhandlingDuring the last 22 years, Clear Edgecustomers have installed thousands offilter elements over the world coveringpractically all industrial de-dusting applications.In conclusion, CFE are an alternativeto bags and traditional cartridgesespecially where space or height is at apremium. Due to the unique design,CFE can be cleaned and maintainedmore easily than traditional cartridges,18 • August 2013 • www.filtnews.comCERAFIL – HOT GAS FILTERSCerafil, from Clear Edge, is afamily of low-density ceramic filter elements,which are employed in filterplants in much the same way as filterbags except at much higher temperatures.Typically, Cerafil is used in therange from 200 - 800°C (392-1,472˚F), thereby avoiding acid andwater dew points and allowing for applicationat the temperature that bestsuits the duty. In addition, Cerafil elementsare extremely efficient andcorrosion resistant and can be used inthe most difficult gaseous conditions.Developed over a number of years,Cerafil is a monolithic low-density ceramicelement, which is highly effectiveand efficient at handlingsub-micron particles in industrial gasprocesses. The product family has beenexpanded to three specific productlines, which are available in a range ofsizes up to 3m (10ft.) in length and150mm (6”) diameter.The applications of this “Best AvailableTechnology” include Air PollutionControl (APC), Product Collection andProduct Recovery. The one-piece elementis self-supporting and robust in avariety of conditions, has long in servicelife and is highly porous and futureproofed for forthcoming tighter environmentallegislation (capable of filteringgas

Some of the key features and benefitsof Cerafil technology are:• High efficiency- Less than 2mg/m 3 emissions(0.0008 grains per scfm)- Easily handles sub-micronparticles and PM2.5’s• High temperature capability- Temperature resistant up to900˚C (1650˚F)- Normally used up to 500˚C(932˚F)• Corrosion resistant- Is virtually chemically inert- Can tolerate changes inoperational conditions andtemperature• Range of products and sizes- Up to 3m long 150mm diameter(10’ long x 6” diameter)- Normally new plant design, butcan be retrofitted into existingsystemsFigure 3: A typical plant configuration for Cerafil in hot gas filtration application.Many in dustrial processes, and inparticular, high-temperature processes,emit off-gas streams of mixed gas ladenwith particulate matter that has a variablecomposition. Managing these offgasstreams is a necessary part of thein dustrial activity. Air emissions froman industrial plant can involve a broadrange of species, including: particulatematter, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), ox -ides of sulfur (SOx), hydrogen chloride,volatile organic compounds (VOCs),polychlorinated biphenyls/dibenzo furans(dioxins), nitrous oxide (N20),and heavy metals. The abatementregime is required to reduce these pollutantsto below the regulated limits.The Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) is currently looking and enactedlegislation to control these mixed pol-

These include:barrier filters, dry, semi-dry and wetscrubbing, cyclones, elec trostatic precipitators,and catalyst-conversion processes.These clean-up processes are used, oftenin combina tion, to achieve at least the regulatedemission limits. Process choice isaf fected by many factors, apart from theregulations in force, not least of which areeconomics and reliability.However in order to meet tighterlegislation and permit limits these technologiesneed to be used sequentiallyand sometimes in various steps of theprocess flow diagram to bring the emissionsbelow the newly mandated EPArequirements.In recent years, Clear Edge has advancedthe technology to develop CerafilTopKat, a pioneeringbreakthrough technology combiningthe advantages of Cerafil with an incorporatedactive catalyst for the removalof Nox, Dioxin, Sox, Rox and VOCs.This patent pending technology protectsthe catalyst from poisoning by incorporatingit in the wall of the filterelement (a common problem with SelectiveCatalytic Reduction (SCR) technology)see Figure 4.Clear Edge has been researching anddeveloping the Cerafil TopKat technologyplatform for over 10 years and hasbuilt up many years of experience applyingthis newly emerging technologyin critical applications. A typical plantlayout is shown in Figure 5.

Cartridge | FiltrationTwist-LOK Filter Series ProvidesVersatile Phase SeparationBy Mike Click, Marketing Director, Jonell Inc.Twist-LOK's elements, showing first stageidentified by color code blue end caps andsecond stage on the left, identified by colorcode white end caps.22 • August 2013 • www.filtnews.comFiltration plays a key role in notonly protecting society fromcontaminants but also protectingindustrial equipment as well byseparating fluid and particles or separatingdifferent chemical types of materials.As a result of today’soperational complexities, industry filtrationequipment demands havegrown increasingly more sophisticatedto meet the challenges.A phase separation filter must beboth capable of seamless performancein wide-ranging conditions in themidst of even the harshest environments.A premier solution has arrived,with the introduction of Twist-LOKFilter Series’ versatile separation systemfrom Jonell, Inc. This innovativeproduct delivers superior contaminantremoval and coalescing efficiency, plusthe patent-pending Twist-LOK lockingmechanism.Twist-LOK’s major feature is its twopiecedesign, allowing real-time fieldcustomization and the ability to replacethe first stage filter element withouthaving to also replace the second stagecoalescer element. Also, Twist-LOK isdesigned specifically for installationinto Peach® Gemini PuraSep® vessels.BREAKTHROUGH NATURAL GASTwist-LOK’s revolutionary design accomplishesmultiple objectives in doingits job. This filter optimizes flexibilityand reliability while it processes highliquid loads with exceptional particulatehandling. Specifically for the energyindustry, which has always been in theforefront of innovative technology,Twist-LOK’s first and second stage applicationsare designed to remove liquidand solid contaminants from natural

and process gas.Its assembled cartridge provides aStage 1 “outside to inside” flow directionfilter element and Stage 2provides the reverse “inside to outside”flow coalescer element. Withinthis process, a new feature providessavings not available with other cartridges.With other filtration/coalescingelements, it was necessary toreplace both stages, which oftenmeant wasting a clean Stage 2 element.With the new Twist-LOK FilterSeries, however, users can optionallyreplace and optimize Stage 1 with noneed to replace Stage 2, a bonus forcompanies that appreciate opportunitiesto take advantage of savings intheir operations.EXCEPTIONAL VERSATILITYAll Twist-LOK cartridges offer exceptionalversatility by including, forinstance, an extensive listing of optionalfilter and coalescing combinations.These can be readily customizedby users to adapt to individual processapplications.In a relatively short time, Twist-LOK’s two-stage phase separation –actual filter element in the first stagefor the “outside to inside” gas flowand coalescer element for the secondstage’s “inside to outside” gas flow –has changed how filtration purchasersview this type of product. Insteadof having to determine howcompetitive system components worktogether to accomplish the desiredtask, more and more companies havereadily taken to the Jonell motto:Quality filtration made simple.Twist-LOK and many other industrialproducts, from gas and liquid filtersto filter vessel internals, aredesigned and manufactured by Breckinridge,Texas-based Jonell, Inc.,which was founded in the 1980s expresslyto provide quality filter elementsto the oil and gas industry.Building on its continuing growth inthe filtration market, Jonell offers numerousfilter options, both pleatedand depth style, in an equally largemedia selection that encompassesevery application and compatibility requirementin the oilfield.STAGE 1 APPLICATIONFirst Stage elements in Twist-LOKessentially pave the way for the SecondStage to operate most effectively.Through Stage 1 removal of solid andsemi-solid particulates and pre-coalesceliquids, Stage 2 functions withmaximum performance and minimalflow blockage over an extended periodof time.In Stage 1, media include Tri-DEP TM ,micro-fiberglass, polyester, polypropylene,cellulose, cotton and the productis custom-engineered. Jonell’s trademarkedTri-DEP media fiber extrusionprocess has proven the value of its fiberextrusion process. This unique processutilizes synthetic trilobal fibers, whichprovide increased void spaces for contaminantretention whereas traditionalcircular fiber media are comparativelylacking in this respect.

Cartridge | FiltrationVariables Impacting Resin BondedCartridge Manufacture and PerformanceBy Ron Fall, Sr. Principal Engineer, Parker Hannifin Corp. dh Process Filtration Div. NAManufacturer of silicone sealants often requires re-processing of their sealant batches, which did not meet their quality standards.Above photo shows two drums of 2M cPs, silicone sealant, compared to a standard product to one that has been rejected (insert).Resin bonded cartridges are requiredfor the filtration ofhighly viscous fluids at highdifferential pressures and/or elevated temperatures.In this article, the commercialprocesses to fabricate these cartridges arereviewed and the characteristics of the resultantfilter cartridges are discussed. Inaddition, the manufacturing process andresultant structure of the state-of-the-artcompound layer resin bonded cartridge ispresented.INTRODUCTIONHighly viscous fluids require filtrationat high differential pressures and/or elevatedpressures. These high viscosity applicationsinclude coatings, inks,polymers, and adhesives as well as numerousspecialty applications. The diversityof these applications is suggested bythe list presented in Table I. Inspection ofthis table also indicates the broad rangeof chemical compatibilities needed.Filter manufacturers have addressed26 • August 2013 • www.filtnews.comthis demand for rigid filter elements bythe development of resin-bonded cartridges.These cartridges are formed bythe impregnation of fibers, such as cellulose,polyester, acrylic, glass, etc., with athermosetting resin. Frequently usedthermosetting resins are water-based phenolformaldehyde condensation products,urea formaldehyde condensation products,and melamines. Phenol formaldehyderesins are preferred for cartridgesused in industrial processes. However,

melamine is required for FDA applications.These resins not only coat the fibersconstituting the cartridge matrix but alsobond the fibers together. Therefore, thestrength and rigidity of the element is soincreased that it can resist deformation,compaction, and collapse at high temperaturesand/or elevated pressures.Three processes are utilized commerciallyto manufacture resin-bondedcartridges. These processes are:1. Winding of resin impregnated tow.2. Vacuum deposition of resinimpregnated fibers from anaqueous dispersion.3. Rolling of resin impregnated mat.In this paper, these three processesare reviewed and their influence on elementperformance is discussed.WOUND RESIN BONDED CARTRIDGEThe technology to produce conventionalwound depth filter cartridgeswas developed in the 1920s. In thisprocess, cartridges are produced by diagonallywinding precise patterns ofyarn on a center core. The pattern is designedto create hundreds of identical,tapered, spiral passageways. During the

Cartridge | FiltrationThe gel formulations within silicone sealants are called “gel balls”; they will cause bridging at the opening of the nozzle ofan applicator tip, which causes an inconsistent bead to be applied. Therefore, secondary processing is often required to addressthe removal of these formations.winding, yarn is locked in place by succeedinglayers. Solid particles are removedby entrapment with the mediato yield efficient depth filtration. Byvarying the wind pattern, conventionalwound cartridges are fabricated to givea predetermined micrometer rating.Among the factors that impact rovingquality are the diameters of its constituentfibers, its weight, and its twist.If tow fibers are impregnated witha thermosetting resin prior to the operation,resin bonded cartridges canbe fabricated. This resin impregnationmay be achieved by spraying, rollcoating, or immersion. However, theimmersion process requires nip rollersto squeeze the excess resin from thetow. The element is then heat cured inan oven to form a resin-bonded cartridge“log”. Upon removal of themandrel, the “log” can be cut into the28 • August 2013 • www.filtnews.comdesired lengths.In addition to low cost resultingfrom process simplicity and minimalcapital requirements, this process hasnumerous advantages. The overlappingof the tow during the winding operationcreates a rough, irregular surface.Consequently, the surface area of the elementis increased without the need forsubsequent grooving or grinding operationsthat can generate surface debris.

In addition, the tow is composed offibers four to six inches in length. Consequently,media migration is significantlydiminished.However, the process for fabricationof wound resin bonded cartridges hasseveral deficiencies. The unidirectionallong fibers are oriented perpendicular tothe direction of flow. Therefore, it is notpossible to create convoluted pathswithin the interstitial fiber regions topromote particle entrapment. As a result,the relative cartridge performance is lessthan obtain ed from a cartridge fabricatedfrom randomly oriented long fibers.Another disadvantage is that it is difficultto impart a graded density structureby winding. Therefore, the degreeof the depth filtration is a result of thewind pattern and fiber diameter than byany controlled alteration of the interstitialfiber void volume.VACUUM DEPOSITION PROCESSIn the vacuum deposition process, aporous, hollow mandrel is immersed intoa uniform aqueous dispersion of fibersand resin. Upon application of a vacuum,resin-impregnated fibers accrete upon themandrel’s outer surface 1,2 . The packing ofthe fibers upon the mandrel’s surface dependsupon the amount of vacuum used(differential pressure) as well as the compositionand characteristics of the fibrousslurry. The degree of vacuum diminisheswith increasing distance from the mandrel’ssurface. As a result, the interstitialfiber void volume increases with distancefrom the cartridge’s inner wall. Consequently,a graded density structure isformed. With this structure, smaller particlescan penetrate deeper in the cartridgeinterior prior to capture than can theirlarger counterparts. Therefore, cartridgeswith graded density structures exhibithigher dirt holding capacities and longerlives than do equivalently rated cartridgespossessing uniform fiber interstitial voidvolumes throughout their matrices.Not only does the degree of vacuumdecrease radially with distance from themandrel’s surface, but it also decreases axially.Consequently, the process is limitedto producing cartridges that are no morethan 10” in length. Therefore, in order tocreate longer cartridge assemblies, theseunits must be joined either mechanicallyor by adhesive bonding. Both approachesinvite filter bypass, and unreacted adhesiveconstituents may be extracted fromthe assembly when it is operated in labilechemical environments.Upon removal from the aqueous dispersion,a water jet is used to removeexcess material from the outer surfaceof the nascent cartridge prior to theoven cure. This excess material is reintroducedinto the slurry to reduce rawmaterial costs as well as waste and itsassociated disposal costs.The cured cartridges have a smoothouter surface. These cartridges are preferredwhen maximum depth filtration isrequired and are especially effective whengels must be removed from the filtrate.These entities deform under pressure and,therefore, can penetrate pores smallerthan their unperturbed dimensions.Grooving the cartridge increases thesurface area by 50 to 60% 3 . This increasedsurface area will increase the life of the filtercartridge because the increased surfacearea can collect and retain a greateramount of the larger contaminant partiwww.filtnews.com• August 2013 • 29

Cartridge | Filtrationcles. Commercially, a series of circumferentialcuts is made into the cartridge.However, the cartridge may also beturned on a machine tool to produce aspiral groove on the outer surface.However, grooves in the surface substantiallyweaken the physical strengthof the filter. In addition, the operationcreates circular lands, i.e., the regionsthat are left between the grooves. Toomany grooves in a given length of thecartridge will leave lands that are notthick enough to support themselves orto resist minor blows without breaking.This is particularly true in filters inwhich the outer surface into which thegrooves are cut is comprised of relativelylarge fibers. These fibers have relativelyfew intersections at which theycan be bonded together by the resin.Consequently, these lands are more susceptibleto breakage.In addition, the grooving processcreates particulate debris as well as altersthe surface structure of the filter.These minute particles often adhere tothe outer surface of the filter. Theirpresence is obvious. A common salestechnique is to tap a grooved cartridgeon a white sheet of paper placed on apotential customer’s desk. The appearanceof the dark particulate debris isoften sufficient to convince theprospective buyer that selection of anon-grooved competitive cartridge isthe wiser choice.One attempt to eliminate this sourceof media migration is to post-dip themachined cartridge in a resin bath tofurther saturate the outer surfaces 4 . Althoughthis process does fix the minuteparticles to the fiber matrix, it also altersthe cartridge’s void volume andhence its performance. Therefore, thecure may be worse than the disease.Resin bonded filter cartridges are operatedwith the flow direction from theoutside to the inside. Therefore, the30 • August 2013 • www.filtnews.comvast majority of these particles are removedfrom the filtrate as it passesthrough the cartridge matrix.A less obvious and more sinistercontributor to media migration is theuse of short fibers, i.e., those less than1/2” in length. Short filters have fewerintersections or points of contact thando longer fibers. Therefore, they can bemore readily separated from the cartridgematrix. Furthermore, they canexist anywhere within the element’sstructure. These particles do not haveto migrate through the entire cartridgeto contaminate the filtrate as do theparticles generated on the outer surfaceby the grooving operation.This problem is particularly acute inresin-bonded cartridges produced bythe vacuum deposition process. Theaqueous dispersions are often preparedusing both chopped linters and reclaimedfiber. Although incorporationof linters and reclaimed fiber providessignificant manufacturing cost reductions,the resultant cartridges exhibit ahigher degree of media migration thanequivalent cartridges produced by theother processes using higher-gradefibers. Neither can these cartridges bemarketed as “silicone free”, a necessityfor many coatings applications.IMPREGNATED MAT PROCESSESIn this section, the processes used toform fiber glass resin bonded cartridges,and compound layer resinbonded cartridges are discussed.Fiber Glass Resin Bonded Cartridges:In the process for producing fiberglass filter cartridges, molten glass is firstdrawn into thin glass fibers. These fibersare both extremely thin and uniform.The fibers are sprayed with an adhesivebinder as they are blown into a collectionchamber, in which the coated fibersare formed into uniform mats. Thesemats are then cut into sheets of predeterminedsizes to be rolled on a mandrelto form fiberglass tubes.After the cartridges are cured in anoven, they are first ground to the requiredouter diameter and subse-

quently grooved. In the final processsteps, the cartridges are cut to lengthand support cores are inserted prior tocovering with protective socks.The use of the very fine glass fiberscombined with high void volume yieldsa cartridge that exhibits high dirt holdingcapacity and long life. However, theresultant cartridge is also relatively soft.Therefore, the cartridge is susceptible todistortion, which can result in unloading.Consequently, its maximum operatingdifferential pressure is less thancompetitive resin bonded cartridges.Furthermore, it is the only resinbonded cartridge that requires a core,usually metal, to provide support.The combination of the fiberglassfibers and metal support core increasesthe costs of disposal. Unlike its polymericresin bonded competitors, fiberglass resin bonded cartridges cannot besimply incinerated.Although the melt spinning ofmolten glass yields the long fibers thatare preferred for maximum cartridge efficiency,these fibers are inherently brittle.Therefore, they are moresusceptible to breakage than are polymericfibers. Consequently, an outersock is used to protect the cartridgeduring handling as well as to preventthe penetration of broken, fiber glassparticles into the operator’s hands.Parker Hannifin Corporation - CompoundLayer Resin Bonded Filter Cartridges:The ProBondTM cartridge wasdeveloped to circumvent the limitationsof previously described resin bondedcartridges described in the previous sections.Yet, the advantages of a coreless,one-piece structure comprised of randomlyoriented, mechanically andchemically interlocked long fibers in agraded-density matrix are maintained 4 .The process begins when a needledmat is produced and impregnated withresin prior to cutting into sheets andwinding into a tubular element. The densityof this filter media is controlled bycompression rollers as the filter media isbeing wound around the mandrel. Consequently,the density of the tubular filterdecreases, i.e., becomes more porous, inthe radial direction from the inner surfaceto the outer surface. The final diameter isachieved by spirally or helically windinga resin impregnated ribbon around thetubular inner filter. This outer filter mediaribbon is wrapped in a dual layer bymeans of a folding operation around theinner media such that the edges of adjacentwindings abut each other. Therefore,a continuous groove or channel is formedbetween adjacent windings of the outerfilter media ribbon.The outer filter media ribbon is preparedfrom needled mat with moreporosity, i.e., less density, than is usedto form the inner tubular filter. Therefore,this layer functions as a pre-filterfor the enclosed tubular media. Afterthe oven cure, the resultant elementsare cut to length.With grinding and grooving eliminatedfrom the process, no particulatedebris is generated to adhere to theouter surfaces. Furthermore, the physicalstrength is improved. Consequently,higher differential pressuresare tolerated to permit higher viscosityfluids to be filtered. Compound layerresin bonded cartridges, also, exhibithigher dirt holding capacities than theirgrooved counterparts.www.filtnews.com • August 2013 • 31CONCLUSIONSResin bonded cartridges are used forfiltration of viscous fluids at high differentialpressures and/or at elevated temperatures.Effective filtration is achievedby randomly oriented, mechanically andchemically interlocked long fibers in agraded density matrix. The filter cartridgeof choice is one that possesses singleunit construction, a coreless center,and minimal particle shedding. Combinedwith high dirt holding capacityand ease of disposal, such cartridges reducethe cost of filtration. All these desirablefeatures are incorporated in thesilicone free compound layer resinbonded cartridge, the state-of-the-art inresin bonded cartridges.REFERENCES1. L. E.

The only way to preventthis potential problem is to removesuspended solids from thedistribution system.The OR-Series of filters by Orival,Inc. are designed to reliably removeboth organic and inorganic suspendedsolids. With their highly efficient flushingsystems and large screen areas, OrivalOR Filters provide superiorperformance and quick payback. OR filtersare generally mounted in a horizontalconfiguration parallel to the pipingfor quick and easy installation.The ORG-Series of Orival Filtersoffer the same qualities and performancebut in a vertical mounting configuration.Payback on investment has beendocumented as quickly as 33 days forflow rates of 1100 gpm.Rugged OR and ORG Filters, withtheir stainless steel screens and ruggeddirt collectors, do not rely on electricityfor filter operation. A simple integratedhydraulic system manages the shortcleaning cycle triggered by a predeterminedpressure loss across the dirtyscreen. Complete screen cleaning takesonly 5-15 seconds with no interruptionof water flow. Sizes are available from1½” to 24” with screen openings from3000 microns down to 10 microns.

Equipment | NewsEfficient Air Pollution Control fromDürr for Small Exhaust Air Flow RatesThe Ecopure CTOThe European Volatile OrganicCompounds (VOC)Directive is being implementednot only in Germany, butalso all across the European Union.Industrial companies such as A&RCarton GmbH, which emit smallamounts of VOC laden process exhaustair, are looking for economicalsolutions to comply with emissioncontrol regulations.Regenerative Thermal Oxidation(RTO) is a highly effective technologyfor the cleaning of exhaust air ladenwith hydrocarbons or odors that hasproven successful in many areas of industry.As a further development of itsown line of RTO systems, Dürr has successfullyengineered the compact EcopureCTO regenerative thermal oxidizerseries for process exhaust air flows ofbetween 5,000 and 20,000 Nm³/h.The Ecopure CTO regenerative thermaloxidizer comes in two standard engineeredmodels. The first, atwo-chamber design, achieves up to98% destruction efficiencies while remainingsupremely cost efficient. Additionally,a three-chamber design isavailable to attain the highest of destructionefficiency requirements,greater than 99%. Further, various optionsare available that enable the CTOsystem to be ideally adapted to even themost unique processes and stringentcompliance requirements.The Ecopure CTO regenerative thermaloxidizer is skid mounted and completelyassembled mechanically andelectrically in any one of Dürr’s fabricationfacilities. This ensures direct oversightof all systems, guaranteeing a highlevel of manufacturing quality andworkmanship. The engineering standardizationof components and pre-assemblyof the CTO before arriving at acustomer’s facility, throughout bothmodels, allows Dürr to present an extraordinarilyefficacious system at a lowcapital investment cost coupled with64 • August 2013 • www.filtnews.comlow operating costs.The compact design of the CTO,with special attention paid to height,makes it especially suitable for use indoorsalong with typical outdoor areas.The CTO is delivered “ready to connect.”This means when the CTO arriveson-site, no further mechanical orelectrical installation work is required.The system can be set up within half aday with only process exhaust air andutility connections needing to be connectedbefore commissioning.During initial development, engineering,and standardization of theCTO regenerative thermal oxidizer system,Dürr paid particular attention tothe use of high-quality equipment components.Furthermore, Dürr kept thecustomer’s operators and staff in mindwhile designing unique functions andfeatures to allow for more efficient andreduced cost maintenance.A&R Carton GmbH relies on CTOregenerative thermal oxidizer technol-

ogy from Dürr at their facility inKönigsbrunn, Germany. Process exhaustair from a new deep-draw machineused for the printing of cigarettepacks has been abated with a Dürr CTOfor over a year now with three-shiftsoperating consistently.The energy content of the solventscontained in their process exhaust air allowsthe system to run auto-thermallyin normal operation meaning no additionalnatural gas needs to be consumed.Destruction efficiency compliance testingcarried out by local authorities hasthoroughly impressed everyone at A&RCarton GmbH: “The emission values inthe stack are almost better than the valuesin the surrounding atmosphere,” remarkedthe environmental protectionofficer at A&R Carton GmbH.In addition to its success in abatingprocess emissions from the printing industry,the CTO regenerative thermaloxidizer system from Dürr is used bywell-known automobile manufacturersto remove solvents from process exhaustair produced by their paintinglines. CTO technology is also used inthe painting of automotive componentsmade from plastic as well as in themanufacturing of paint. Other industrieswith low process exhaust airflowsthat can benefit from the use of a DürrCTO include the coating industry andthe chemical industry with its uniqueand specialized processes.With the CTO series, Dürr has enhancedits product portfolio for regenerativeoxidation systems with a unit thatoffers an economical and versatile systemfor small process exhaust air flows.Dürr is a mechanical and plant engineeringgroup that holds leading positionsin the world market in its areas ofoperation. It generates more than 80% ofits sales in business with the automotiveindustry. It also supplies the aircraft, machinery,chemical, and pharmaceuticalindustries with innovative productionand environmental technology. The DürrGroup operates in the market with fourdivisions: Paint and Assembly Systemsplans and builds paint shops and final assemblyplants for the automotive industry.Application Technology provides theautomatic application of paint with itsrobot technologies. Machinery and systemsfrom the Measuring and ProcessSystems division are used in engine andtransmission manufacturing and in finalvehicle assembly, among other areas. Thefourth division, Clean Technology Systems,is focused on processes to improveenergy efficiency and on exhaust air purification.Dürr employs approx. 7,700people at over 51 locations in 23 countriesworldwide.
