No-Spark Filtering

Swift Filters, Inc. (Oakwood Village, OH) has announced the availability of anti-static filter elements for both replacement and custom designed applications. SwiftStaticDischarge filter elements employ an advanced media technology to dissipate triboelectric charges generated via the flow of fluids through filter media. The unique media ensures a very low charge across both media and fluid over long periods of time to mitigate sparking, says the company. SwiftStaticDischarge elements are highly suitable for power generation applications (both for gas turbine lubrication systems and conventional power plant use), plastic injection molding machines, mobile hydraulics, pulp and paper and any other application that employs low-conductivity oils.
