Filtration Control Manifolds For High Pressure, Multi-Line Flushing

Designed for high pressure, multiple line flushing and pressure testing manifolds are set up with twelve discharge and return ports with each port being isolated. Each port is equipped with its own sample port for individual fluid analysis.


Filtration Units: NAS Filtration & Flushing of Bulk Fluids

Our bulk filtration unit is capable of NAS filtration and flushing of Bulk fluids with little to no pressure and can handle up to 125 GPM with 1-micron filter. Equipped with two stainless steel filter canisters rated for 100 psi, these canisters carry up to fifteen filter elements of any micron size desirable.

Piping size on our Bulk filtration unit is 3" for flow and is also equipped with a NU-FLO flowmeter on the discharge to measure gallons per minute and total gallons. It is also equipped with a sample port.

Bulk fluids are pumped through our filtration unit with either a 2" air diaphragm pump or 6 cylinder diesel pump.
