Selection inputs that matter
Fluid and solids loading, flow rate, line size, pressure and temperature, target micron rating, allowable pressure drop, and cleaning philosophy (bypass duplex versus self-cleaning versus disposable). Send these and we will return a selection with housing, element, and change-out cost.

Engineered vessels and separation
For solids-heavy and high-flow streams, Wessels separation and strainer vessels and Jonell-Nowata-Kaydon pressure leaf filters and custom ASME vessels close the loop. See the water and wastewater page for that scope.
FAQ
Questions buyers actually ask
Bag filter or cartridge filter: which is right?+
Bags favor high flow and high dirt load at coarse to mid-range ratings with low change-out cost. Cartridges favor fine, absolute-rated, and sanitary duty. Many plants run both: bags as roughing, cartridges as polishing. We size the pair to your stream.
Do you supply replacement elements for housings we already own?+
Yes. Send the housing make and model or the element dimensions and we will quote compatible bags or cartridges, often with media upgrade options.
