Omela Liquid Filter Bags

1. What Is a Liquid Filter Bag?

A liquid filter bag is a high-performance filtration element installed inside a bag filter housing to remove suspended solids, gels, particles, oil droplets, or contaminants from industrial process liquids. As liquid flows through the filter media, particles are captured either on the surface (mesh) or within the depth of the felt structure, delivering reliable clarification and process protection.

The effectiveness of a liquid filter bag depends on media selection, micron rating, permeability, chemistry compatibility, temperature limits, and how well the bag fits and seals inside the housing.

How a Liquid Filter Bag Works

  • Process liquid flows through the filter bag.
  • Suspended solids are trapped by depth media or surface mesh.
  • Clean, filtered liquid exits the housing
  • Bags are replaced periodically as differential pressure rises.

A well-engineered liquid filter bag ensures:

  • Consistent micron-rated filtration performance
  • Low initial pressure drop & long service life
  • High dirt-holding capacity for fewer change-outs
  • Stable flow and protection for downstream equipment
  • Reduced operating cost (TOC) across the filtration line

Industrial liquid filtration relies heavily on proper media selection, correct micron rating, and a precisely manufactured filter bag. As the core component of a liquid filtration system, filter bags directly affect filtration efficiency, system reliability, and operating costs.

5. Liquid Filter Bag Selection Guide

01
Liquid Properties

Understanding liquid characteristics is essential for selecting the right filter bag. Key factors: viscosity, particle load, pH/chemistry, oil or solvent content, and operating temperature.

02
Filter Media Options

Different media provide specific chemical, temperature, and mechanical performance. Common choices: Polypropylene (PP), Polyester (PE), Nylon/Monofilament Mesh, PTFE, Stainless Steel Mesh.

03
Micron Rating & Filtration Stage

Selecting the correct micron rating depends on filtration goals. Typical ranges: 1–10 μm polishing, 10–50 μm intermediate, 50–1000 μm coarse. Consider whether a nominal or absolute rating is required.

04
Bag Construction & Sealing

Proper construction ensures sealing performance and prevents bypass. Key elements: steel/plastic ring or flange, O-ring type (EPDM/NBR/FKM/PTFE), multi-layer structure, stitching or welded seams.

05
Flow Rate & Pressure Drop

Liquid viscosity and system flow determine ΔP and filter life. Choosing the right configuration reduces pressure drop, pump load, energy consumption and extends service cycles.
