Introduction
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is an alternative fuel known for its cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits. High-pressure filtration is crucial to maintain CNG quality and protect equipment from contaminants.
Specifications and Materials
Filters are designed for pressures up to 6000 PSIG, constructed from ductile iron, stainless steel, and aluminum. These materials ensure durability and effectiveness in various stages of CNG processing.
Filtration Needs and Applications
Filters remove contaminants like liquid aerosols, solid particulates, and hydrocarbon vapors. They are essential in applications such as breathing air, PET bottle blowing, and alternative fuel systems to prevent equipment damage and ensure safety.
Filter Selection and Media Types
Finite offers filters for different pressures and applications. Selection involves evaluating application requirements, filtration type, micron ratings, and operating conditions. Media types include coalescing, particulate, and adsorption elements, each targeting specific contaminants.
Filter Grades and Efficiency
Filter grades range from 0.01 to 3 microns, determining efficiency. Coalescing filters remove liquid contaminants, particulate filters capture solid particles, and adsorption filters remove vapors, ensuring clean and dry air.
Applications and Recommendations
Filters are used in high-pressure applications like CNG fueling stations and onboard CNG vehicles. Proper filtration extends system life, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures compliance with safety standards.
Conclusion
Finite filters provide essential protection against contamination in high-pressure systems, ensuring reliability and safety in compressed air and gas applications.

"High pressure High pressure compressors are used in a variety of applications. Many owners, operators and designers of high pressure compressed air or gas systems rely on Finite for high-quality air treatment filters. End users of high pressure compressed air, such as scuba divers and fire rescue workers, depend on this high quality breathable air. Throughout the stages of compression many contaminants can enter into the system. Excessive amounts of liquid aerosols and solid particulate contamination are common in high pressure systems. In addition, higher temperature levels are possible and...

High Pressure Breathing Air critical to ensure that it meets stringent breathing air applications as set forth by North American agencies such as the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA). Breathing air is used for scuba tanks, fire rescue equipment, and emergency respiratory gear. Any contaminants in the air stream may cause equipment damage and malfunction, requiring costly repairs and replacements, and ultimately creating a hazardous situation for any users of high pressure breathing air apparatus. The use of filters will protect the...

Installing a lower pressure particulate filter (H-Series Housing 3PU Media) before the compressor station will remove pipe scale to prevent compressor damage. Before the gas is transported from storage to the dispenser, prefiltration of the gas with two-stage coalescing will eliminate solids, oil and water generated during underground transit. For extra protection, a high efficiency coalescer should be placed at the gas dispenser to protect sensitive dispenser metering equipment and prevent oil from making its way into the vehicle.

Coalescing elements: Coalescing elements are specially designed for the removal of liquid contaminants from gaseous flows. These media types flow from the inside of the element to the outside. Coalesced liquid (water and oil) collects in the bowl where it is drained while clean air or gas exits the housing through the outlet port. Particulate contaminants are captured and held in the media. posed of an epoxy saturated, borosilicate glass microfiber tube in intimate interlock- ing contact with a rigid coarse fiber drain layer, retained by a synthetic fabric safety layer.
