STANDARD CONSTRUCTION
The W8 series bag filter housings are designed for operation up to 150 psi. The housing design provides a large sump area at the bottom of the basket for particulate accumulation. This design utilizes the filter more efficiently and prolongs the life of the bag filter. The stainless steel basket rests on a steel support ring with an o-ring mounted in a groove, allowing the bag ring to seal and eliminating particulate bypass between the basket and ring. Optional mesh-lined strainer baskets and various materials for o-rings are available.
A vent located in the housing lid and a drain port allow fast evacuation and rapid filling. Gauge ports are located on the body of the housing to install gauges for monitoring of differential pressure across the bag or strainer basket. Permanently piped housings are opened with simple tools without disturbing the piping. Swing bolts with eye-nuts allow easy opening and closing of the lid. There is no need to remove any of the hardware. As a standard finish, all vessels are blast cleaned and painted with a coat of machinery enamel.

The W8 series (formerly Nowata) liquid bag filter housing effectively removes dirt, pipe scale, and other contaminants from process liquids such as water, chemical and petroleum products.
