are the LSI filters for liquid/solids applications and the GSV
filter for gas/solids applications.
Contaminants can also be removed chemically by
means of solvents, caustic wash, acid wash, as well as
water, steam and air flush. Ultrasonic cleaning is used to
remove chemically inert materials. Controlled-atmosphere
fluid bed furnaces may also be used.
Mott precision porous metal filter elements may be
cleaned and subsequently kept in continuous operation
for years, where other types of elements would have to
be replaced several times.
