The high-performance duplex filter BOLLFILTER Duplex Type BFD-C HD is used as a gas filter and coalescence separator in chemical and petrochemical plants, in the offshore industry, and in the power plant sector. This filter is primarily used for filtering fuel gas and seal gas. In cases of heavy contamination, the filter is combined with a pre-separator, e.g. a cyclone or cyclone demister, to separate off solids and liquids. A rapidly rotating flow of gas is required in order to separate out small and lightweight particles. Therefore, the cyclone is designed under actual operating conditions in order to achieve the most efficient separation possible
BOLLFILTER’s Duplex Type BFD-C HD is a duplex filter with two filter chambers combining a coalescer and particle filter for separating solids and aerosols (liquid content) from gases. It guarantees maximum purity for gases with a filter fineness of up to 0.1 micrometres and was developed specifically for an extremely high operating pressure of up to 500 bar.
When the soiling level of the filter exceeds the tolerance level, the active filter half can be switched out with the clean half without any pressure surges. A ball valve is used to make the switch while filtration is still in progress. The simultaneous shut-down of both filter chambers is prevented by the design features.
