Filtration applications

The wire expert

Discover the unique benefits of Bekiflow HG;

this range of filter elements consists of layers
of sintered porous metal fibre medium (Bekipor)
with mesh support. They are designed to
withstand high temperatures, high pressure
and/or corrosive atmospheres in the separation
of solids from various applications gas streams.

In applications where large dust concentrations have to be separated

from a gas stream under extreme conditions, surface filtration is the
solution. Bekiflow HG elements use the finest fibre diameters available
on the market as of today. Our backpulse filter systems are designed to
build a dust cake at the filter surface. The cake is removed at regular time
intervals using automated backpulse, allowing online cleaning of filter
elements without filtration

Bekiflow HG - High performance

filtration of industrial gases
The wide variety of thin & highly porous fleeces
(porosity between 60 to 85%) of Bekipor media
offers a higher permeability and lower pressure drop
in comparison to other metal and non-metal media
concepts. Its non-compressibility increases the
quality level through a finer filter rating and an
extended on-stream life enhanced by the excellent
thermal characteristics.

High permeability: low pressure drop

High dirt holding capacity: long on-stream life
Easy to clean (water, chemicals): reusable
High porosity & pleatable: compact construction

Back pulse
Filtration is done at high temperature, well above the acid dew point.
Lifetime: the original filter elements are still in service, after more
than 20 years.
The legislation on particulate emission into the atmosphere is getting
tighter every year. Typical emission levels for high efficiency
cyclones are close to 50 - 100 mg/Nm3. To meet current and future
limits other technologies of separation are required. Electro Static
Precipitators (ESP) fit the criteria; however this technology is highly
sensitive to flow rate fluctuations, fits only for low pressure applications
and is highly expensive not only in capex but also in operational costs.

Depth filtration
Depth filtration is mainly used in applications where small dust loads
(<10 mg/Am) have to be separated from a gas stream. The contaminants
or particles are captured within the multiple layer structure of the filter
medium. Our depth filter systems are the perfect solution for applications
combining temperature and corrosion resistance with high dirt holding
capacity and excellent off-line cleaning possibilities.

Filtration cycle

The open structure of porous metal media makes it

possible to clean in situ. In case of surface filtration,
the systems proposed are CleanIn-Place solutions
working by means of backpulsing. In case of static
filters, the elements are cleaned off line but still on site.

The sintering process creates strong fibre bonds

and guarantees a high strength filter medium.
Combined with an appropriate inner core, Bekiflow
HG filter elements can withstand thermal shocks,
high pressures and frequent backpulsing.

Mechanically strong & stable, the filter elements dont tear and
assure a continuous and reliable protection of the downstream
compressors, preventing them from fouling.
Lifetime: the ultra-fine surface prevents particles from penetrating

Bekaert at your service

Key advantages
The filter retains pipe scale that contains iron oxide, a poison for
the platinum catalyst.
The metal fiber filters, replace ceramic elements which used to
break.
The combination of the lowest P, the highest dirt holding capacity
and highest face velocity results in an attractive commercial balance.
