HENGKO has been providing customers in the petrochemical industry with efficient solutions and practical sintered metal filtration systems.
Sintered metal filters are commonly used in the petrochemical industry to remove impurities or particles from liquid and gas streams.
The filters are made from various metals, such as stainless steel or nickel, and are known for their durability
and resistance to clogging.
In the petrochemical industry, sintered metal filters remove contaminants from raw materials, such as crude
oil or natural gas, before they are processed into more refined products. The high surface area and fine pores
of sintered metal filters effectively remove a wide range of contaminants, including dirt, rust, and other
microscopic particles. In addition, the filters can withstand high pressure and temperature variations, making
them well-suited for use in the demanding environments of petrochemical processing facilities.
Where the sintered metal filter to used in Petrochemical Application ?
Sintered metal filters are frequently used in the petrochemical industry due to their high mechanical strength, excellent filtration efficiency, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability. They play a critical role in ensuring process reliability, safety, and product purity. Here's where sintered metal filters are typically employed in petrochemical applications:
1. Catalyst Recovery:
In petrochemical processes that use liquid or gas phase catalysis, sintered metal filters can be used to separate and recover the catalyst particles from the product stream. This not only protects downstream equipment but also ensures the catalyst is recycled, reducing costs.
2. Gasification:
In coal or biomass gasification processes, sintered filters help in removing particulates and tars, ensuring clean synthesis gas (syngas) production.
3. Refinery Processes:
These filters can be used in various refinery processes like hydrocracking, hydrotreating, and fluid catalytic cracking for the removal of fines, ensuring smooth operations.
4. Gas Processing:
Sintered metal filters help in removing contaminants from natural gas, ensuring that it meets pipeline and liquefied natural gas (LNG) specifications.
5. Compressed Air and Gas Filtration:
These filters can remove particulates, aerosols, and vapors to protect downstream equipment and processes.
6. Amine and Glycol Filtration:
In gas sweetening and dehydration units, sintered filters can help in removing contaminants from amines and glycols, ensuring their efficient functioning.
7. Polymer Production:
During the production of polymers like polyethylene and polypropylene, these filters can be used to remove catalyst residues and other particulates.
8. High-Temperature Process Streams:
Due to their thermal stability, sintered metal filters are suitable for high-temperature applications, ensuring the removal of particulates from hot process streams.
9. Liquid-Liquid Separation:
They can be used to separate immiscible liquids in certain processes, ensuring product quality.
10. Vent Filtration:
Sintered filters can be utilized in vent applications to ensure that contaminants are kept out of storage tanks and reactors while allowing gases to pass through.
11. Steam Filtration:
For applications where pure steam is essential, sintered metal filters can be employed to remove particulates.
12. Instrumentation and Analyzer Protection:
Delicate instruments and analyzers in petrochemical plants can be protected from particulates and contaminants by using sintered metal filters.
These are just a few examples, and the actual applications can be more extensive depending on the specific needs of a petrochemical facility. The main advantage of using sintered metal filters in these scenarios is their durability, ability to withstand harsh conditions, and capability for fine filtration, which ensures process integrity and safety.

How to OEM sintered metal filters for Petrochemical Processing Application ?
OEM sintered metal filters for petrochemical processing requires a systematic approach to ensure the filters meet the industry's rigorous demands. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to OEM sintered metal filters for such applications:
1. Requirement Analysis
* Determine the specific needs of the petrochemical application: filter porosity, size, shape, temperature and pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, and more.
* Understand the types of contaminants to be filtered out, flow rates, and other parameters.
2. Material Selection:
* Choose the right metal or metal alloy based on the application. Common materials include stainless steel, titanium, Monel, Inconel, and Hastelloy.
* Consider factors like temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and chemical compatibility.
3. Design & Engineering:
* Design the filter geometry considering the flow dynamics, pressure drop, and filtration efficiency.
* Utilize computer-aided design (CAD) tools to visualize and finalize the design.
* Test the design for potential failure points and optimal performance using simulation software.
4. Manufacturing:
* Powder production: Start with high-quality metal or alloy powder.
* Forming: Press the powder into a desired shape using a mold.
* Sintering: Heat the formed shape in a controlled atmosphere furnace. This bonds the metal particles, creating a rigid structure while maintaining porosity.
* Finishing: Depending on the requirements, additional steps like calendering (for desired thickness and density), machining, or welding may be needed.
5. Quality Control:
* Conduct thorough testing of the sintered metal filters. Common tests include bubble point tests, permeability tests, and mechanical strength tests.
* Ensure that the filters meet all the specifications and industry standards.
6. Post-Manufacturing Treatments:
* Depending on the application, you might require post-sintering treatments like heat treatments for increased strength or surface treatments for enhanced filtration capabilities.
7. Packaging & Logistics:
* Pack the sintered filters carefully to prevent damage during transportation.
* Ensure a smooth supply chain for timely deliveries to customers.
8. After-sales Support:
* Offer technical support to clients for the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the sintered metal filters.
* Provide documentation like user manuals, quality certificates, and testing results.
Starting an OEM operation for sintered metal filters requires significant investment in equipment, skilled labor, and quality control measures. Building a reputation for reliability and quality is crucial, especially in the petrochemical industry, where safety and process efficiency are paramount. Collaboration with established players or experts in the field can also aid in successfully navigating the complexities of the OEM process.
