Surface Filtration

- Filtration happens at a thin layer of mechanical barrier (filter media).

- Filter media is pleated into a tube shape to achieve large surface areas.

Solid – “narrow” range use “surface”

of sizes filtration

Use Pleated media design, the element have extended

surface area for high dirt loading capacity 58
Depth Filtration

- Filtration happens across multiples layers of mechanical barrier (filter media).

- Filter media has gradient density and pores sizes to remove “wide” range of solids
particulates
Solid – “wide” range of sizes use “depth” filtration

Varying wall densities allow particles to spread

out across the section creating a more porous cake
