Based on a different purpose and using environment, manufacturers need to choose different media to do the filtration.
But what's the basis of the filtration media selection?
Here are some tips from MAISHI, which are the important details you need to consider when you choose the filtration media.
1) The viscosity of the Fluid
The viscosity of the Fluid should be the first thing in your mind, it would affect the filtration media material directly.
2) The particle size removal need
The particle size decides the efficiency of removal and the percentage of purity directly.
3) The particle makeup
What's the makeup of your particle? is it solid or gelatinous?
Choose the material based on this.
4) The desired flow rate
The volume of fluid would decide the filtration pressure. For example:
For some "chemical fiber material", the tear resistance would be lower than stainless steel material, so the material would be chosen based on the flow rate.
5) Durability and requested using life
It affects the frequency of change-outs and cost.
6) Corrosiveness of the fluid
Different materials have different "advantage" and "weakness", know it and use it, choose the right one.
7) Dirt holding capacity
It affects the frequency of change-outs.
8) Cost of the media
Cost should surely be one of the reasons in selection.
9) Energy cost
Energy cost is easy to be ignored, but it also should be one reason for your choice.
