Industrial Filtration is your trusted partner for advanced filtration solutions in the handling of solvents and solvent mixtures. Solvents play a critical role in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, inks, degreasing, and chemical manufacturing. Whether you need to remove particulates, polish, or regenerate solvents, our filtration products are designed to meet the unique challenges of these applications, ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance.

 

Key Considerations for Solvent Filtration

​

Filtering solvents requires specialised knowledge and careful consideration due to their often hazardous nature. At Industrial Filtration, we take several factors into account when designing and specifying filters for solvent applications:

 

• Application Requirements: We assess the specific needs of your application, including the required micron rating, whether the application is hygienic or industrial, and whether it involves single-use or multi-pass filtration. We also consider whether the process is batch-based or continuous.

• Process Conditions: Understanding the flash point, vapour pressure, and fluid state of the solvents is essential for selecting the right filtration system. These factors influence the design and safety features of the filtration solution.

• PED Compliance: We ensure that all filter housings are fully compliant with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). Using solvent data, we establish the correct fluid groups and categories to meet PED requirements, ensuring safe and compliant operation.

• Material Compatibility: The compatibility of materials with the solvents being filtered is crucial. Our standard filter housings are made from Stainless Steel, which is compatible with a wide range of solvents. We also offer filter elements and bags in various polymers and Stainless Steel. For more aggressive media, we provide fluoropolymer-lined vessels and 100% PTFE elements and bags to ensure long-lasting performance.
