UNITE Large-Caliber Vertical Filter for High-Flow Applications

UNITE has developed a large-caliber vertical filter designed for industrial applications requiring high flow capacity, reliable pressure containment, and efficient solid-liquid separation.

Featuring a vertical pressure-rated vessel and large-diameter side-mounted inlet and outlet connections, this filtration equipment provides a streamlined flow path and sufficient flow cross-sectional area. It is suitable for removing suspended solids and particulate contaminants from industrial fluids in high-flow operating conditions.

The equipment is designed for applications across the chemical, energy, industrial water treatment, and furnace circulation industries.

1. Robust Structural Design for Industrial Applications

The large-caliber vertical filter features a vertical pressure vessel constructed from Q345R carbon steel, with an epoxy anti-corrosion coating on the external surface.

Its main structural features include:

Bolted Quick-Opening Vessel Cover

The vessel head adopts a bolt-tightened quick-opening structure with evenly distributed circumferential fasteners. This design facilitates internal inspection, filter element cleaning, replacement, and routine maintenance. Supporting legs provide stable installation while minimizing floor space requirements.

Large-Diameter Side-Mounted Connections

The filter is equipped with large-diameter flanged inlet and outlet connections to accommodate industrial pipelines. The tangential inlet arrangement allows the incoming fluid to enter the vessel along the side, promoting preliminary gravity-assisted sedimentation and helping reduce direct impact on the filter elements.

High-pressure plate flanges are provided for connection to large-diameter process pipelines.

High-Performance Internal Filter Elements

The filtration unit uses sintered metal mesh filter elements equipped with steam back-blowing functionality. Filtration ratings can be customized according to process requirements to capture suspended solids, particulate impurities, and colloidal contaminants.

The removable filter element design allows convenient cleaning, reuse, or replacement.

Integrated Auxiliary Connections

The vessel is equipped with dedicated connections for backwashing, blowdown, pressure measurement, temperature monitoring, and venting. These interfaces can be integrated into an automated piping and control system to support online cleaning and continuous operation.

2. Key Performance Features

The large-caliber vertical filter is engineered to meet the demands of continuous industrial filtration.

• High Flow Capacity: Large-diameter flow passages provide sufficient fluid-handling capacity and help minimize flow resistance and pressure drop.

• Pressure-Rated Sealed Operation: The enclosed vessel is designed for pressurized operation, making it suitable for industrial fluids that require controlled, sealed filtration conditions.

• Operating Pressure: Designed to accommodate conventional operating pressure conditions in the range of 1.6–2.5 MPa.

• Modular Parallel Configuration: Multiple filter units can be installed in parallel, including duty/standby arrangements, allowing individual units to be isolated for maintenance while the remaining units continue operating.

• Convenient Maintenance: The top-opening vessel design and removable filter elements simplify inspection, cleaning, and replacement.

• Automation Compatibility: The filter can be integrated with automated valves and control systems to support automatic switching and blowdown operations.

3. Applications Across Multiple Industrial Sectors

The large-caliber vertical filter is suitable for high-flow fluid filtration and purification in various industrial processes, including:

• Petrochemical Industry: High-flow clarification and removal of solid contaminants from process fluids.

• Power Generation: Removal of impurities from circulating cooling water systems.

• Furnace and Energy Systems: Filtration and purification of circulating media in industrial furnace equipment.

• Oilfield Wastewater Treatment: Removal of suspended solids from oilfield wastewater.

• Industrial Water Treatment: Precision filtration of industrial circulating water.

• Large-Scale Fluid Systems: Integration into multi-stage filtration processes combining preliminary filtration and fine filtration.

Its pressure-rated vessel design, large-diameter pipeline connections, and customizable internal filtration elements make it a practical solution for industrial processes requiring reliable, continuous fluid purification.
