Sintered Phenolic Resin Filter Cartridge Used in Water Treatment and Petrochemical, 20 Micron, 40" Long
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory has been a trusted manufacturer of industrial filtration solutions since 1998. With an annual export value exceeding US$5 million and serving markets across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, we bring decades of expertise to every product. Our Sintered Phenolic Resin Filter Cartridge (20 micron, 40 inches long) is engineered for demanding water treatment and petrochemical applications, combining high mechanical strength with excellent chemical resistance.
This cartridge is manufactured using a precision process where phenolic resin is sintered onto a reinforced core, creating a rigid, deep-bed filtration medium. The 20-micron rating ensures effective removal of suspended solids, while the 40-inch (1016 mm) length offers high dirt-holding capacity and extended service life. Whether you need to filter process water, coolants, or petrochemical fluids, this cartridge delivers consistent performance.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Mechanical Strength – The sintered phenolic resin structure resists cracking and deformation under differential pressure up to 4.5 bar (65 psi).
- Broad Chemical Compatibility – Suitable for acids, alkalis, solvents, and hydrocarbons commonly found in petrochemical processes.
- Thermal Stability – Operates reliably at temperatures up to 120°C (248°F), making it ideal for hot process streams.
- Deep Filtration – The porous matrix captures particles throughout the thickness, not just on the surface, improving efficiency and reducing pressure drop.
- Low Pressure Drop – Optimized porosity ensures minimal resistance to flow, saving energy in pumping systems.
- Customizable End Caps – Available with open end, double open end, or various gasket/O-ring configurations to fit most housings.
- Environmentally Friendly – The cartridge can be incinerated after use, reducing disposal volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the typical lifespan of a sintered phenolic resin filter cartridge?
Lifespan depends on the contaminant load and operating conditions. In typical water treatment applications, it can last 3–6 months. For high-solids petrochemical fluids, replacement intervals may be shorter. We recommend monitoring differential pressure to determine change-out time. -
Can this cartridge be used in food-grade applications?
The phenolic resin material is generally considered safe for indirect food contact. However, for direct food contact, please consult our team to verify compliance with local regulations. We can provide FDA-compliant options upon request. -
What end cap configurations are available?
Standard options include open end (OE), double open end (DOE), and various gasket styles (EVA, silicone, Buna-N). We can also customize with adapters to fit specific housing models. -
Is the cartridge compatible with high-temperature steam sterilization?
This cartridge is designed for continuous operation up to 120°C. Short-term exposure to steam (e.g., 130°C for 30 minutes) may be possible, but we recommend testing under your specific conditions. For repeated steam sterilization, consider our stainless steel core option. -
What is the pressure drop at the recommended flow rate?
At 20 GPM flow rate for water at 25°C, the initial pressure drop is typically 0.2–0.4 bar. As the cartridge loads with particles, the pressure drop will increase. We can provide detailed curves upon request. -
Do you offer samples for testing?
Yes, we provide free samples for qualified customers. Please contact us with your application details, and we will recommend the appropriate configuration. Shipping costs are negotiable. -
Can the cartridge be incinerated after use?
Yes, the phenolic resin and organic components are combustible, allowing for clean disposal via incineration. The metal core (if stainless steel) can be recycled separately. -
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our standard MOQ is 50 pieces per size. For custom specifications, the MOQ may be higher. Contact our sales team for details.
