Product catalog summary
Overview
Porvair Filtration Group offers a range of stainless steel filter elements, known as Sinterflo® P, designed for use in harsh environments across industries such as petrochemical and pharmaceutical. These elements are robust, re-cleanable, and environmentally friendly alternatives to disposable polymeric cartridges.
Specifications
Sinterflo® P elements are made from sinter-bonded metal powders, primarily 316L stainless steel, suitable for temperatures up to 420ºC. They are available in various grades and can be manufactured in disc or cylinder formats. The isostatic pressing process ensures uniformity and corrosion resistance.
Applications
  • Catalyst recovery and retention in refineries.
  • Polymer melt applications in polypropylene film manufacturing.
  • Chemical production, including hydrogen process gas clean-up.
  • Steam applications in chemical, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
  • Liquid backwash applications in catalyst steam backwash and polyol manufacturing.
Features and Benefits
  • Robust construction with high strength and effective depth filtration.
  • Smooth surface finish suitable for backwash applications.
  • Self-supporting construction eliminates the need for additional hardware.
  • Available in a broad range of pore sizes for various pressure applications.
  • Durable under varying process conditions, including compression and vibration.
  • Customizable with different alloys upon request.
Element Construction
The elements are constructed from 316L stainless steel, offering a filtration area of 0.05m² per 10" length. They can operate from -269°C to 925°C and withstand up to 25bar differential pressure.
Specifications
  • Materials: 316L stainless steel standard, with other alloys available.
  • Dimensions: Standard diameter of 66mm, lengths from 125mm to 1012mm.
  • Filtration Area: 0.05m² per 250mm element.

Sinterflo®  P-1

Cylindrical Sintered Metal Powder Filter Elements Porvair Filtration Group manufacture a range of industry standard stainless steel filter elements suitable for use in a wide range of industries, including petrochemical and pharmaceutical. The robustness of design, that is provided by a fully welded metallic element or cartridge, is required to resist deterioration in harsh operating environments where the fluids present are aggressive, high temperatures are experienced or where the operating differential pressures are high. • atalyst recovery and retention C For use in the collection of catalyst dust on various types of catalyst hoppers or FCC regenerator stream in refineries. For some filtration applications, the use of a conventional disposable polymeric cartridge may simply be environmentally unacceptable and the use of a re-cleanable element will often give more cost effective filtration. • hemical production C For applications in the clean-up of hydrogen process gas, and in the manufacture of magnesium nitrate and caustic solutions. These filter elements are offered in the following media configurations: • team S For applications in the chemical, food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Sinterflo® F Sintered Metal Fibre Sinterflo® P Sintered Metal Powder Sinterflo® M Metal Mesh Sinterflo® MC Sintered Metal Composite Typical applications for our Sinterflo® P elements include the following: • olymer melt P For applications in the manufacture of polypropylene film. • iquids and liquid backwash L For applications in catalyst steam backwash applications and in the manufacture of polyols. Sinterflo® P is a robust material manufactured from sinterbonded metal powders. Primarily produced in 316L grade for use in temperatures up to 420ºC (788ºF), depending on process conditions, and offering resistance to most chemicals, Sinterflo® P media can also be produced in other grades of stainless steel and alloys such as Inconel®, Hastelloy® and Monel®. Sinterflo® P powder media can be manufactured in both disc format or in cylinder format. For cylinders, our isostatic pressing ensures greater media uniformity with no welds, leading to increased corrosion resistance.
