Tanks are commonly used for storing a variety of liquids. To protect the liquid contents from microbial or particulate contaminant, it is customary to install a vent filter on the tank. When liquid is added or removed from a tank, air must move in or out of the tank to fill the changing airspace above the liquid. A tank vent filter allows air to flow in both directions and prevents possible damage to the tank that could result if air is compressed during tank filling or a vacuum is created during tank emptying. It is critical, therefore, to size for proper air flow under both normal operating conditions as well as potential CIP or steam conditions, taking into consideration the pressure and vacuum ratings of the vessel. Housings ensure minimized pressure drop and user-friendly filter cartridge change-outs. They can be equipped with a variety of air/gas filter cartridges to address the various needs of the industry, efficiently protecting product and processes from airborne contamination. All wetted metal surfaces are constructed of 316L stainless steel and are electro polished, providing excellent durability and maximum corrosion resistance.
