New filter technology from Tri-Mer

Apr. 10, 2012 – Tri-Mer Corp., a world leader in air pollution control systems and indoor air quality products, has introduced Tri-Flow, a new filtration concept that delivers HEPA level performance with a MERV 16 rating.

Tri-Flow Compact filters are a higher-performing alternative to bag, cartridge and pocket filters, which are typically rated MERV 10-13. They have a small footprint, and an exceptionally large filter surface area: Tri-Flow Compact filters provide 2-3 times more filtration compared to similarly dimensioned bag (pocket) filters. An even greater increase in filtration area vs. volume is achieved in comparisons with sleeve-type high efficiency filters.

The unique Tri-Flow design provides in-line pulse jet cleaning. Captured dusts can be compacted or pelletized for use as fuel. Filters maintain an exceptionally low operating pressure drop throughout their service life, which minimizes resistance and therefore energy consumption. Filter efficiencies of 99.999% on 0.5 micron and larger particles (by weight) are typical.

Tri-Flow Compact filters are self-supporting and are manufactured using proprietary filter media tailored to the application. There are 7 filter media, including options for hydrophobic / oleophobic, high temperature and anti-static applications. All media is pleated and continuously bonded for maximum dimensional stability and filter integrity. A resilient mounting flange provides a dust seal that prevents bypass.

Tri-Mer Corp. introduces Tri-Flow, a new HEPA level filtration concept with a MERV 16 rating.

Tri-Flow elements have a multi-year service life for virtually all applications: compared with conventional bag or cartridge-type filters, service life is 3-5 times longer, with zero compromise of filter performance. Filter change-out is fast and "tool-free," and, notably, is done from outside the collector, from the clean air plenum side. As a result, it is never necessary to enter the dirty air plenum side for servicing, a feature which eliminates concerns about employee exposure to dusts.

Existing dust collectors can often be adapted to accommodate Tri-Flow Compact filters.

Also available from Tri-Mer: Tri-Flow Environmental Booths, for plant areas where dirty and/ or noisy tasks need to be confined to their own workspace. Tri-Flow Booths provide reliable and consistent capture velocities at the booth opening and throughout the booth. There is no air turbulence, no "hot spots," and no uncomfortable drafts to interfere with operator productivity.

Tri-Flow Compact Filter Systems, and Tri-Flow Environmental Control Booths, are manufactured exclusively by Tri-Mer Corporation, Owosso, MI.
