Porvair Filtration Group

Porvair Filtration Group

This company offers an array of porous metal and plastic materials and systems for filtration and separation, for use in chemical-process, water-treatment, energy and pharmaceutical applications. The company’s leaf-disc filter cartridges incorporate recently improved filter media (photo). The filter leaf discs are available in a range of filtration ratings, from 5 to 40 microns. The leaf-disc capsule filter uses a hard hub that is designed to maximize the available filtration area, leading to lower pressure drop, shorter residence times and reduced risk of degradation. — Porvair Filtration Group, Ashland, Va.
