WHAT IS Petro-Klean ?
Petro-Klean is an easy to use filter cartridge manufactured from
cellulose fibers, glass fibers, and a chemically resistent thermosetting
resin to produce a durable, rigid filter structure. Petro-Klean cartridges
are grooved to significantly increase the surface area and extend service
life. Large diameter 336 style Petro-Klean filter cartridges eliminate
troublesome spring and seal assemblies by incorporating a patented*
self-energizing elastomer seal to fit 336" style housings.
Standard diameter industrial Petro-Klean products include patented**
polyethylene foam gaskets for positive sealing in double open end
housings, and single open end cartridges employing polypropylene caps
and springs that eliminates spring and seal assemblies.
Petro-Klean cartridges are simple to install and ensure a positive seal
for consistent performance during the most demanding upset conditions
or pressure spikes.

Petro-Klean : Consistent performance

Petro-Klean SPECIFICATIONS

The initial Beta-Ratio for all grades of Petro-Klean filter cartridges is equal to or greater than 1000, and Petro-Klean cartridges perform at or above
this initial value throughout the usable (all the way to plugging) life ! This defines Petro-Klean absolute filtration performance. The Beta Ratio vs.
Differential Pressure in Graph 1 illustrates how competitive filters do not achieve the consistent performance of Petro-Klean. Filters that show a
decrease in Beta Ratio as the differential pressure increases are exhibiting either unloading of previously held contaminants or a loss of filtration
efficiency.

As illustrated in Graph 1, the performance of the Rolled Fiber Sock cartridges (Competitor B) exhibits contaminant unloading and a loss of filtration
efficiency as differential pressure increases from 70 to 700 mbar. The Melt-Blown (Competitor A) and the Pleated Cellulose/Polyolefin

High surface area Petro-Klean

Petro-Klean cartridges also feature an optimized groove pattern to
increase the surface area by over 65% when compared to ungrooved
cylindrical cartridges. The grooved surface prevents premature blinding
of the outer surface by large particles and allows full utilisation of the
depth structure. Maximum surface area with a true graded-density
structure means that Petro-Klean can provide significantly greater
service life than competitive filter cartridges.

Cellulose / Glass

Operating conditions

Petroleum

Petro-Klean filter cartridges are manufactured using an exclusive process

to achieve a true graded-density structure. A proprietary Cuno
manufacturing process results in progressively more fibers towards the
center core region creating a graded-density structure. Each fiber is locked
in place by a thermosetting resin binder to create a rigid depth filter
matrix that traps larger particles near the outer surface and smaller
particles near the cartridge's inside diameter. The overall effect is to greatly
improve cartridge service life by retaining particles and deformable
contaminants in decreasing particle size ranges as the contaminant
particles progress through the cartridge.

provides consistent performance at all times. Unlike many competitors,
Petro-Klean does not unload or lose filtration efficiency throughout its
usable life !

Prevent Fouling of Heat Exchangers & Reboilers

A high level of solids which can be deposited on the rich/lean heat
exchanger surfaces lead to fouling, higher temperatures and ultimately
heat exchanger tube replacement.
Absolute-rated Petro-Klean filtration minimises reboiler cleaning,
improves heat exchange efficiencies, and reduces or eliminates costly
repairs to heat exchangers and reboilers in amine and glycol systems.

WHAT IS Petro-Klean ?
Petro-Klean is an easy to use filter cartridge manufactured from
cellulose fibers, glass fibers, and a chemically resistent thermosetting
resin to produce a durable, rigid filter structure. Petro-Klean cartridges
are grooved to significantly increase the surface area and extend service
life. Large diameter 336 style Petro-Klean filter cartridges eliminate
troublesome spring and seal assemblies by incorporating a patented*
self-energizing elastomer seal to fit 336" style housings.
Standard diameter industrial Petro-Klean products include patented**
polyethylene foam gaskets for positive sealing in double open end
housings, and single open end cartridges employing polypropylene caps
and springs that eliminates spring and seal assemblies.
Petro-Klean cartridges are simple to install and ensure a positive seal
for consistent performance during the most demanding upset conditions
or pressure spikes.
