Filtration Processes

Perfect Filtration Systems Portable Fuel Polishing machines are offered in two different filtration processes.

Two step filtration process:

Model 88’s use the Ultimate Coalescing Fuel / Water Separator housing

Step 1 Coalescing chamber: The fuel enters the filter housing and is forced down into the coalescing chamber where the fuel flows through very fine stainless steel mesh material where the small water droplets come together (Coalesce) as the fuel flows through the small opening in the mesh material. The heavier water droplets drop out of the fuel flow and settle to the bottom to be drained off. Water sight glasses are present to view the presence of water and a drain valve in also provided.

Step 2 Depth-type filter chamber: After the fuel exits the coalescing chamber it enter the filtration chamber, the 3-micron cellulose depth-type filter traps the majority of the solids particulates including: dirt, metal, bacteria, algae, microbes, and other solid contaminants. The filter also has water absorbing capabilities to remove free and emulsified water that was not removed in the first two steps. The depth-type filter has a very large water and contaminate holding capacity which means long filter life and high efficiency. Each filter can absorb up to 1 gallon of water and can hold 8-10 lbs of solids. Once the fuel is filtered it exists the filter housing through a stainless steel pipe ultra clean.

Three step filtration process:

Model 89’s use the Ultimate Coalescing & Centrifugal Fuel / Water Separator housing

Step 1 Coalescing chamber: The fuel enters the filter housing and is forced down into the coalescing chamber where the fuel flows through very fine stainless steel mesh material where the small water droplets come together (Coalesce) as the fuel flows through the small opening in the mesh material. The heavier water droplets drop out of the fuel flow and settle to the bottom to be drained off. Water sight glasses are present to view the presence of water and a drain valve in also provided.

Step 2 Centrifugal chamber: This process occurs when the fuel exits the coalescing chamber and flows upward into the centrifugal chamber. the fuel flows through a stainless steel pipe and comes in direct contact with a stainless steel coned baffle spinning the fuel in a circular motion (Centrifugal force). This motion causes the heavier water droplets to fall out of the fuel flow to be drained off. Water sight glasses are present to view the presence of water and a drain valve in also provided.

Step 3 Depth-type filter chamber: After the fuel exits the centrifugal chamber it enter the filtration chamber, the 3-micron cellulose depth-type filter traps the majority of the solids particulates including: dirt, metal, bacteria, algae, microbes, and other solid contaminants. The filter also has water absorbing capabilities to remove free and emulsified water that was not removed in the first two steps. The depth-type filter has a very large water and contaminate holding capacity which means long filter life and high efficiency. Each filter can absorb up to 1 gallon of water and can hold 8-10 lbs of solids. Once the fuel is filtered it exists the filter housing through a stainless steel pipe ultra clean.

#3914 Cellulose Depth-Type Filter Media

Depth-type filtration is known to be the most efficient filtering technique. Great product for fuel cleanliness and price value.

cellulose-depth-type-filter-media

  • Axial flow between layers of media
  • Creped cellulose with interlocking layers to remove solids efficiently
  • High efficiency filtration with low micron levels (<1 micron)
  • Performance to B<3(c)=1000 (Per ISO16889)
  • Micron rating 1-3 micron is size
  • Very high solid holding capacity= 8-10 lbs per filter
  • Removes bacteria, algae, microbes, dirt, rust, and other solids
  • Can achieve very low ISO cleanliness levels
  • High water holding capacity= 1 gallon per filter
  • Will absorb free and emulsified water
  • Can maintain water levels to below 50ppm
  • Water efficiency 99.90%
  • Inexpensive high quality product
  • Long filter life: will last many times longer than conventional pleated paper filters
  • Most conventional filters will not remove water
