CULINARY & PROCESS STEAM Process Filtration

CULINARY & PROCESS STEAM CULINARY & PROCESS STEAM Similar to compressed air, steam is often thought of as another utility—both are often used to transfer energy, and both are often generated at a central location and then distributed to various points-of-use throughout the facility. Depending on the intended use, and whether or not they come into contact with the final product itself, both will require filtration in order to prevent contaminating their process. The intended use is what drives the choice between these two utilities. When it comes to the transfer of energy, steam provides some...

CULINARY & PROCESS STEAM TYPES OF STEAM PROCESS STEAM General term for steam used in process applications as a source of energy for process heating, pressure control and mechanical drives among others. Process steam may come into contact with the final product or process. Steam that consists of 100% water vapor in the gas phase. CULINARY STEAM Refers specifically to steam used in food processing. This type of steam is required to meet 3-A Sanitary Standards and 3-A Accepted Practices for dairy and food processing. Culinary steam can, and often does, come into direct contact with the final product....

CULINARY & PROCESS STEAM FILTER ELEMENTS P-GS – SINTERED STAINLESS STEEL Improving the quality of steam used for filter sterilization ensures longer service life of those filters. When steam is used in culinary and other food applications such as cooking, sterilization and packaging, purifying that steam is essential to maintain integrity of the product and associated equipment. • Absolute particulate retention rates of 1 µm, 5 µm and 25 µm • F ilter media is sintered 316L stainless steel with >50% porosity to ensure high dirt holding capacity and low pressure drop • Can withstand a differential...

CULINARY & PROCESS STEAM SIZING & SELECTION GUIDELINES Proper sizing and component selection of a steam filtration system is essential to assuring that your application is operating as effectively and efficiently as possible. The following are some general guidelines, but additional sizing and selection tools are available to better optimize product selection to your specific needs. Donaldson P-EG NPT housing in 304 SS is suitable for process steam filtration applications. In applications or installations where chemical corrosion is a concern, 316L SS as the material of construction is advisable....

CULINARY & PROCESS STEAM CAPACITIES & GUIDELINES REGENERATION GUIDELINES HOUSING CAPACITIES* Model Number Steam Capacity (kg/hr) Steam Capacity (lbs/hr) Model Number Steam Capacity (kg/hr) Steam Capacity (lbs/hr) The filter media can be washed with either clean liquid or clean gas in a reverse, or counter-flow, cycle. Pulsing the flow to loosen attached particles can enhance cleaning. This method is excellent when retained particles are on the surface of the media rather than penetrated deeper into the media pores. Use of a wire or nylon brush can also enhance this method of cleaning. Both Donaldson...
