FGD Filters

For clarification and prefiltration of aqueous liquids with high particle loads.

FGD filters are constructed with pleated Fiberglass depth media for clarification and prefiltration of aqueous liquids. The FGD filters comply with all FDA requirements for the food industry. Pore sizes range from 0.22 to 10 µm and filter sizes scale from laboratory to full production using identical materials to ensure consistent results.

FGD filters are manufactured to ensure fiber-free effluent. They are rated at 99% retention at the indicated pore size and have a high contaminant holding capacity. FGD cartridges are designed for high throughput because of its fibrous construction, which also allows for cartridge cleaning and re-use in some applications.
