What is the Bag Filter Housing?

A bag filter housing is a type of filtration system used to remove contaminants, debris, and particles from liquids. It consists of a metal or plastic housing that holds one or more filter bags. The bag filter housing directs the liquid through the filter bags, trapping impurities inside while allowing clean liquid to pass through.

What does a bag filter housing consist?

  • Cover
  • Shell Flange
  • Housing
  • Lower Head
  • Leg
  • I/O Ports
  • Vent Port
  • Drain Port

Types of Connections for Bag Filter Housings

DIN flange

DIN flanges are popular in continental Europe and China, with PL-RF type PN10 flanges commonly used. In China, the standard number for these is HG/T 20592

ASME flange

ASME B16.5 flanges are popular in the Americas, the Middle East, and the Australia-New Zealand region, with CLASS 150 SO RF flanges commonly used. In China, the standard number for these is HG/T 20615

JIS flange

JIS flanges are popular in Japan, South Korea, and some Southeast Asian countries, with 10K RF PL flanges commonly used

BSPP

BSPP threads are parallel and non-tapered, requiring sealing materials, and are popular in Europe, Asia, and Commonwealth countries

BSPT

BSPT threads are tapered with a 55° angle, designed for pressure-tight seals, require sealing tapes, and are widely used in Europe, Asia, and Commonwealth countries

NPT

NPT threads, featuring a 60° taper for a tighter seal, are widely used in North America and among U.S. trade partners. Sealing tape is needed for a leak-proof connection

Tri-clamp ferrule

Tri-clamp ferrules are commonly used in sanitary applications due to their ease of quick opening and cleaning. The common standards are ISO 2852 and DIN 32676

Grooved coupling adapter

Victaulic grooved couplings can be used for quick connections, offering flexibility and reliability

How does it Work?

Bag filter housing works by directing liquid through a filter bag inside a vessel. The fluid enters the housing, flows through the bag, which traps dirt and particles, and then exits as clean fluid. When the bag fills up with contaminants, it’s easy to replace with a new one. This setup is simple, effective, and widely used in industries to keep fluids clean and protect equipment.

Sepcifications

Material Options

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is the most common material for bag filter housings.  There are various grades of stainless steel materials.

Most common grades:

  • SS-304
  • SS-316L

On request grades:

  • SS-904L
  • SS-2205

Carbon Steel

Carbon steel is one of the most economical materials, but it can cause severe corrosion during use and is not recommended. It is only used on low budget multi-bag filter housings.

Plastic

The plastic has good corrosion resistance to acidic and alkaline liquids and is available in polypropylene and PVDF.

Sizes and Configurations

Different Filter Bag Sizes & Flow Rate for Bag Filter Housings

What are Single Bag Filter Housings?

Single bag filter housings are filtration equipments designed to hold one filter bag to remove particles and contaminants from liquids, and different bag sizes (#1 to #5) can be chosen based on varying flow rate requirements.

What are Multi Bag Filter Housings?

Multi bag filter housings are filtration equipments designed to hold multiple filter bags in one housing, removing contaminants and particulates from liquids. To increase flow rate, more bags can be added, allowing a max. flow rate of up to 960 CMH.

H3: Pressure and Temperatures

H4: What are the Key Pressure Considerations for Bag Vessels?

Max Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) is the maximum pressure level to which the equipment can be exposed. Design Pressure (DP) is the highest pressure level it should be exposed to under normal operating conditions.

Design Pressure (DP) is very close to MAWP. The Max Operating Pressure (MOP) is 75% of the DP. This means the maximum continuous pressure the filter can withstand must not exceed the MOP. The Operating Pressure (OP) is the pressure at which the filter can function properly, and it must not be less than 2 bar to ensure that the liquid is transported effectively into the filter.

For customized requirements, you need to provide the Max Operating Pressure (MOP), and Seadon can tailor the design accordingly.

H4: What are the Key Temperature Considerations for Bag Vessels?

Design Temperature (DT) refers to the maximum theoretical temperature that the filter vessel can withstand. The Max Operating Temperature (MOT) is the temperature the filter vessel can endure under continuous operation, typically set at 70% of the DT.

If there are customized temperature requirements, you can provide the Max Operating Temperature (MOT), and a customized design can be developed accordingly.
