Bag filter for mechanical filtration
Bag filters are ideal for filtration jobs with heavy demands on flow rates and space. Used for filtration of boiler water and cooling water, circulation water in district heating plants, rinse water in the surface treatment industry and in the electronics industry, as well as for process baths, etc.
The bag filter has a robust design making it suitable for both cold, hot, acid and alkaline liquids. They are easy to install and maintain and have no rinse water consumption.
Where bag filters make a difference
Filtration of district heating water
The circulation water in district heating plants should not contain sludge and mechanical impurities which cause corrosion and clogging of the regulating equipment. A bag filter for hot water is suitable for partial stream filtration. Type EFG5 is designed especially for district heating plants.
Filtration of process baths
In surface treatment industries, a bag filter can ensure clean process baths which prolong the tool life. Special filter bags designed for degreasing and phosphating baths prolong the life of the bath, thereby reducing the quantity of waste water and the risk of clogging the nozzles and the valves in the system.
Protection of membranes
All water supplies contain organic matters and prefiltration is therefore relevant in the water treatment process to protect and extend the lifetime of other water treatment units such as reverse osmosis plants.
Case
Reduction of iron in feedwater
The Danish district heating company, Hvide Sande Fjernvarme, was challenged by a high level of iron in the feedwater. Production manager, Martin Kristensen, explains:
"We had to do something about the iron content in the water, because it was above the recommendations of the Danish District Heating Association of 100 µg / l. We tried a 1 micron filter in a partial stream plant with two bag filters and a magnetic insert. It seemed to work!"
Reduction of iron in the district heating system, is part of asset management. Risk of corrosion in boilers, valves, fittings, installations, and underground piping is reduced significantly.
Product overview
Our product range comprises a wide number of standard plants, all engineered and manufactured in-house. The starting point is our modular-built standard system ensuring high flexibility, high reliability in operation, and short delivery time. Each solution can be customized and built according to the specific application by adapting the choice of material, instrumentation, and control system - based on our combined know-how.
Plant design
The bag filters consist of a filter house with cover and a support screen for the exchangeable filter bag. The filter house is available with different surface material on the inside and outside according to filtration task.

High flow rate
Filter bags installed in series are offered as special design to obtain a high flow rate. The photo shows an installation with 10 bag filters type EFG7 at a District Heating company in Germany.
Optimum filtration with magnetic insert
The magnetic insert is efficient for capturing small, magnetic particles, typically not retained by a filter bag. On balance, a bag filter with magnetic insert therefore gives optimum filtration.
The top fits all existing solutions making an upgrade easy and affordable compared with changing an entire bag filter.

Specially designed filter bag
The filter bag is designed for optimum filtration quality.
Standard filter bags are available in either polypropylene or nylon/polyamide
as needle felt or monofilament.
100 % tight
The filter bags are equipped with an acid-resistant stainless steel O-ring, which ensures optimum sealing even at high temperatures.
Polypropylene
Nominal filter bag capable of preventing particles with pore sizes 1-100 micron. Excellent for surface filtration and depth filtration of thinner particles. Thermal treatment to the surface of the filter bag prevents fibre in the filtrate.
Nylon/polyamide
Absolute filtration of particles with consistent pore sizes (100-400 micron). This type of filter bag is very efficient for surface filtration and is tolerant to neutral and alkaline media.
