Industrial filter needs no element changes
System removes oil from compressed air lines
Combination process for water recovery At the recent EnviTec ‘98 in Dusseldorf, show German company EnviroCell Umwelttechnik GmbH unveiled the CombiFix process for waste water clean-up and recovery. Enviro-Cell states that the CombiFix process, is a combination of electrolysis, microfiltration and adsorption precipitation in a single unit. This configuration, according to Enviro-Cell, offers a large degree of flexibility when confronted with different kinds of waste-
waters. Enviro-Cell says that this point of source treatment system is fully automatic, has low energy consumption and avoids further downstream effluent treatment costs.

Industrial filter needs no element changes
The Encapsulator from La-Man Corporation, is a four stage filtration system that protects air operated equipment by filtering out contaminants down to 5 urn. The Kentucky-based manufacturer states that the Encapsulator is designed for use in applications where there is an excessive amount of oil or other contaminants passing through compressed air lines. In the first of the four stages, a cartridge mesh type filter coalesces liquids for collection in the extraction chamber and then expels them through the weep drain. The second stage features a 5 pm depth filter, which pre-filters the air before it reaches the third and fourth stages. A charcoal absorption element that absorbs the excessive oil mists and vapours makes up the third stage. Finally, the fourth stage consists of two different types of filtration media - activated charcoal and a co-knit cotton and stainless depth filter, which ensures filtration down to 5 pm. La-Man states that available options include a float drain, differential pressure gauge and a differential pressure switch gauge combination. The inlet/outlet NPT ranges from VI” to 2” and airflow capacities range up to 500 SCFM, depending on which model of extractor/dryer the Encapulator is attached to. Replaceable cartridges are available, which La-Man says should be changed every 2-3 months, depending on the condition of the compressed air.

Memtech (UK) Ltd has reported that its new filter has a robust filter element that can handle large volumes of liquid before any signs of clogging occur, and does not need replacement elements. Memtech claims the installation of this filter is simple. It is designed as an in-line unit with either an ‘C or ‘Y’ configuration and is available with a wide range of end fittings to suit most requirements for standard I”, 1%” and 2” hygienic tube systems. The filter is made from 316L stainless steel making it compatible with most chemicals and liquids. In addition, its robust element is constructed from a welded triangular section wire and is available in 10,
25, 50, iO0, 250, 500 and 1000 pm ratings with specials available to order. In many applications Memtech says it can be backflushed which allows longer service before routine cleaning. This filter can be used to replace bag and mesh filters which are prone to failure and need changing regularly even in the middle of a batch. Traditionally, bag and mesh filters are often in large housings and are expensive in terms of initial cost, downtime and lost production. Memtech claims that this filter can overcome these difficulties. Memtech (UK) Ltd, Lion Way, Morriston, Swansea, SA7 9FB, UK. Tel: tl 1792 3 10454; Fax: +44 1792 310331.
