Description
The liquid filter housing is a carbon steel pressure vessel that holds cartridges to retain solid particles. The liquid flows through the cartridge from the outside in, and the solids stay on the element.
Each unit is engineered and sized for the process flow rate to ASME VIII Division 1, API, NACE and PED 97/23/EC. It can be single-element or multi-element, in a vertical or horizontal configuration, with a quick-opening or bolted closure and the connections the installation requires.
Instrumentation is defined for each project—sight glass, pressure gauges, valves, manifold—and the exterior gets custom paint and surface treatment; it can also be skid-mounted. Our engineering department designs it, and we manufacture it at our metal fabrication plant. For the filter element, see the prefilter cartridges: pleated polypropylene, glass microfiber and stainless steel mesh.

Oil & Gas and powerFrequently asked questions
Which cartridges does it hold?
Particle retention cartridges with outside-to-inside flow. The type and retention rating are selected according to the liquid, the flow rate, the solids load and the temperature: pleated polypropylene, glass microfiber or stainless steel mesh, among others.
Is it custom-built?
Yes. Each unit is designed for the flow rate, pressure and connections of the process, with one or more elements and in a vertical or horizontal configuration. It ships with design calculations, detailed engineering with a 3D drawing, material and welder certificates, and a hydrostatic test.
When is a basket strainer a better choice than a cartridge housing?
When coarse solids must be retained at high flow rates or in heavily loaded fluids: the stainless steel mesh basket is washed and reused. For fine particles, the cartridge housing. Many processes use both, with the basket upstream.
