Corrugated Filter Element 304 Stainless Steel for Oil & Gas Separator Vessels 20 Micron
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer with over two decades of experience, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory (established in 1998) proudly presents our Corrugated Filter Element 304 Stainless Steel for Oil & Gas Separator Vessels. With an annual export value exceeding US$5 million and serving markets across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, we understand the critical role filtration plays in the oil and gas industry. Our 20 micron filter element is engineered to deliver reliable separation performance, ensuring the purity of your process fluids and protecting downstream equipment.
The corrugated design increases the effective filtration area, allowing for higher dirt-holding capacity and longer service life compared to standard pleated filters. Crafted from premium 304 stainless steel, this element offers excellent corrosion resistance in harsh environments, making it ideal for natural gas processing, crude oil separation, and petrochemical applications. Whether you need to remove solid particles from liquid streams or protect compressors and valves, our filter element provides consistent, low-maintenance filtration.
Below is a summary of the key technical specifications:
| Parameter | Value |
| Material | 304 Stainless Steel |
| Filtration Rating | 20 Micron (absolute) |
| Structure | Corrugated / Pleated |
| Temperature Range | -20°C to 200°C (customizable) |
| Max Pressure Drop | 0.5 MPa (recommended change at 0.2 MPa) |
| End Cap Connection | Threaded / Flanged / Custom |
Key Features & Benefits:
- High Filtration Area: The corrugated design provides up to 50% more surface area than standard flat-panel filters, resulting in lower pressure drop and extended service intervals.
- Robust Construction: Made entirely from 304 stainless steel, including the support mesh and end caps, ensuring durability in high-temperature and corrosive environments.
- Easy Cleaning & Reusability: The metal element can be back-flushed or ultrasonically cleaned, reducing replacement costs and waste.
- Consistent Performance: Precision pleating ensures uniform flow distribution and reliable 20 micron particle retention, protecting downstream equipment such as compressors, pumps, and valves.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for both liquid and gas filtration in oil & gas separator vessels, amine systems, glycol dehydration units, and other process equipment.
- Customizable Options: Available in various diameters, lengths, end connections, and micron ratings (10–100 micron) to meet specific system requirements.
The 20 micron rating is particularly effective for removing fine particulate matter that can cause erosion or fouling in downstream equipment. In typical oil & gas separator vessels, these filter elements are installed in vertical or horizontal pressure vessels, where they capture sand, scale, rust, and other solids from the process stream. The 304 stainless steel construction ensures compatibility with sour gas (H₂S) environments when properly passivated.
Application Examples:
- Natural gas separator vessels (scrubbers, slug catchers)
- Crude oil and produced water treatment
- Refinery and petrochemical processes
- Gas dehydration and sweetening plants
- Compressor station suction filters

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the typical lifespan of this filter element?
A: The lifespan depends on the operating conditions and contaminant load. In clean gas applications, it can last several months. With proper cleaning, the element can be reused multiple times. We recommend monitoring pressure drop and replacing when it exceeds 0.2 MPa.
Q2: Can this filter element be used for liquid filtration?
A: Yes, it is suitable for both liquid and gas filtration in oil & gas separator vessels. However, for high-viscosity liquids, please consult with us for appropriate micron rating and flow rate calculations.
Q3: Is the element compatible with sour gas (H₂S) service?
A: 304 stainless steel is generally resistant to H₂S at moderate temperatures and concentrations. For severe sour service, we can manufacture the element from 316L or duplex stainless steel upon request.
Q4: What end connections are available?
A: Standard options include threaded NPT, flanged, and custom adapters. We can also design the element to fit existing vessel internals. Please provide your vessel drawing or dimensions.
Q5: Do you offer samples for testing?
A: Yes, we provide sample orders for evaluation. The sample cost and shipping can be discussed. Once you confirm the design, we can proceed with mass production.
Q6: How do I clean the filter element?
A: The element can be cleaned by back-flushing with clean solvent or water, or by ultrasonic cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the stainless steel. Always dry the element thoroughly before reinstallation.
Q7: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our MOQ for standard sizes is 50 pieces. For custom designs, MOQ may vary. We are flexible for trial orders.
Q8: How long does shipping take?
A: For standard elements, production takes 10–15 days. Shipping to major ports like Tianjin or Qingdao takes 15–30 days by sea, depending on the destination. Express shipping is available for urgent orders.
