Type 65 Dry Gas Filters
for Natural Gas Filtration

The Type 65 Dry Gas Filter efficiently removes rust, pipeline scale and dust from a natural gas stream.  Applications include protection for valves, meters, regulators, and other equipment in refineries, chemical plants, pipeline stations, and others.  Available in either a horizontal or vertical design, the horizontal configuration has its benefits for better control of settled solids when changing out the filter cartridges.

How the natural gas filter works:

The gas entering the vessel flows into the filter cartridges from outside-to-inside, ensuring that the gas stream encounters the most surface area for the greatest contaminant holding capability. The depth type fiberglass filter cartridge is the most economical and does an excellent job of capturing solids. The pleated filter cartridge, in either polypropylene or polyester, is a good choice for expected high solids loading and has a very low clean pressure drop.

Natural Gas Filter Cartridges typically provided in the Type 65 Dry Gas Filters:

• WCL536 (1) employs a molded fiberglass depth media rated for 98% of 1 micron particle capture.  This cartridge offers effective filtration at an economic cost and remains one of our most widely furnished natural gas cartridges.
• WCL536 (0.3) with a rating of 0.3 micron at 99.9% efficiency has a fiberglass depth type media in combination with polypropylene coalescing media.
• WMGL536 with a depth type graded density microglass media is available with ratings of 0.3 or 1 micron at 99.9% efficiency.

• WP-L436b Pleated Series with a rating of 1 micron up to 99.98% efficiency.  The pleated design of the cartridge offers a longer service life between change-outs resulting lower maintenance costs.

Along with specific customer requirements some of the many options available are:

• Horizontal and vertical designs
• Custom nozzle orientation
• Skid mounted
• Lifting eyes
• Valve and control packages
