For industrial applications requiring robust sediment removal and high-purity liquid filtration, Purecowater provides the complete line of Fil-Trek Bag and Cartridge Strainer Housings. As an authorized distributor/OEM, we offer these engineered vessels in both Carbon Steel (CS) and Stainless Steel (SS) configurations to meet ASME code requirements and specific facility needs.
Whether you require a single-bag straining solution for a side stream or a high-flow multi-round cartridge vessel for critical process water, Fil-Trek’s housing portfolio delivers versatility, safety, and performance.
Fil-Trek Bag Filter Housings
Bag filtration is often the first line of defense in water treatment and industrial processing. Fil-Trek bag housings are designed for ease of use, durability, and high dirt-holding capacity. They are available in various nozzle configurations and pressure ratings.
Key Bag Housing Series
- SL Series (Side Line): A versatile single-bag housing widely used for general industrial filtration. It features an ASME code stamp and side-inlet/bottom-outlet configuration.
- BF & BMB Series (Multi-Bag): Designed for high-flow applications, these vessels can hold multiple bags simultaneously, significantly increasing flow rate capacity and reducing change-out frequency.
- HSL Series (High Pressure): Engineered for demanding environments, rated up to 1440 PSIG.
- ESL Series: An economic, non-code single bag option for less critical pressure applications.
| Series | Type | Bag Capacity | Pressure Rating | Code Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SL Series | Single Bag | 1 | 150 PSI (Std) | ASME Code |
| BF / BMB Series | Multi-Bag | 2 – 24+ | 150 PSI (Std) | ASME Code |
| HSL Series | High Pressure | 1 | Up to 1440 PSI | ASME Code |
Fil-Trek Cartridge Filter Housings
For applications requiring finer micron retention (below 10 microns) or “polishing” of liquids, Fil-Trek cartridge housings are the industry standard. These housings accept various cartridge types, including Double Open End (DOE) and Code-7 style elements.
Key Cartridge Housing Series
- 700H & 700V Series: Horizontal and vertical multi-round housings designed for high-volume liquid filtration.
- HF Series (High Flow): Specifically engineered to accept large-diameter High Flow cartridges. This design reduces the number of elements required, minimizing change-out time and disposal costs.
- AQ Series: An economic customized solution for water applications where ASME code stamps may not be critical, yet robust construction is still required.
Material Selection: CS vs. SS
Selecting the right material construction is vital for the longevity of your filtration skid. Purecowater offers Fil-Trek housings in two primary material categories:
| Material | Best Used For | Advantages |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon Steel (CS) | Oil & Gas, Lubricants, Non-Corrosive Solvents, General Industrial Water | Cost-effective, high tensile strength, durable for non-corrosive fluids. |
| Stainless Steel (SS 304/316) | Potable Water, Food & Beverage, Chemicals, High Purity Water | Excellent corrosion resistance, sanitary options available, suitable for broad pH ranges. |
Applications
- Water Treatment: Pre-RO filtration, process water polishing.
- Oil & Gas: Produced water filtration, amine straining.
- Food & Beverage: Particulate removal from utilities and process streams.
- Chemical Processing: Safety filtration for solvents and polymers.
