Elastomer and media compatibility
Seal and media selection must survive the full solvent, acid and oxidiser inventory including CIP and passivation chemistry.
Process · Industry
Filtration for aggressive, hot and solvent-bearing streams where material selection is the entire design decision.
- Catalyst recovery efficiency
- 99.98%
- Maximum design temperature
- 400 °C
- Fluids in the compatibility matrix
- 200+
The constraint
Compatibility engineered before the first litre flows.
In chemical service the filtration rating is rarely the hard part — chemical compatibility is. A wrong elastomer or an unconsidered chloride excursion can take a line down within weeks of start-up.
Standards we work to
- ASME VIII Div. 1
- PED 2014/68/EU
- ATEX 2014/34/EU
- ISO 16889
- IS 2825
Temperature and viscosity swings
A stream that filters cleanly at 80 °C can blind at ambient. Sizing must cover the whole envelope, including start-up.
Catalyst recovery value
Precious-metal catalyst recovery frequently justifies the entire filtration capital on its own within a single campaign.
Batch changeover cleanliness
Cross-contamination between products means recovery cost, so drainability and cleanability are design inputs, not afterthoughts.
