PTFE Membrane Separators

 

Membrane housings use a porous PTFE membrane 

which is supported by a sintered porous stainless 

steel disc on the outlet side..

 

The wet sample gas enters though the inlet port 

and because the membrane will only allow molecules

of gas or vapour to pass through to the outlet all liquid 

is stopped. Any liquid in the sample will flow to the 

drain port. This port can also be used as a bypass 

function for the main flow.  

 

Various housing styles are available and the housing 

designs allow a quick change of the membrane as all 

the line connections are arranged in the body of the 

housing. The threaded cap means no tools are required 

for access.

 

Combination housings have both a filter element and a

PTFE membrane in a single unit. The filter element can 

be used to coalesce as a first stage to remove the bulk 

of the liquid prior to the membrane. It can also be used 

as a pre-filter to remove particulates and extend the 

service life of the membrane.
