Po-man’s depth filter:
- 0.5-5micron polyfelt (or ptfe) filter sheet from dudadiesel
- 1.5-3" OD TC spool (OD and length chosen depending on how big a filter you need, ive never had to go more than 12" long)
- filterplate endcaps (sintered is not required)
– cut sheet to the “depth” you want the filter to be, roll the sheet up, very tight, to the point where it will when stuffed into the spool and “unwindes” it is very tight. (if it can slide out via gravity, its way too loose)
Now cap both ends with the filter plates, (bowl reducer/filter plate is preferred on bottom half)
–Those skilled in the art will be able to take it from here, theres a 1000 ways to configure the top/bottom filter plate/paper and/or DE/Silica to suite your operation.
This has saved tremendous time filtering solution in a ClosedLoop compared to sintered disk.
