Why are filters needed within the Gasification industry?

The gasification industry presents aggressive and harsh operating conditions. The complex nature of this industry means that the systems are prone to ingress of contamination in the form of both liquid and solid matter. All types of particulate contamination can be harmful to the operating equipment, damaging systems and potentially reducing the quality of the final product .

The issue of particulate contamination can be overcome by the effective use of filtration and separation technologies.

The benefits of using filters are numerous for this industry:

• Improved quality and yield of the final product.
• Reduced system downtime which leads to lower operating costs.
• Reduced unnecessary loss of process liquids and discharge of gasses.
• Reduced maintenance costs.
• Reduction of equipment damage due to wear and corrosion.
