Solving Chemical Filtration Challenges with Next-Generation Solutions

Chemical processing operations face complex challenges every day. High flow rates, the need for fine particle removal, limited space, and equipment reliability are just a few of the hurdles that can impact efficiency, safety, and product quality. At John Brooks, we understand these pain points, and we partner with Solventum’s Purification and Filtration Business, which is now a part of Thermo Fisher Scientific, to provide filtration solutions that tackle them head-on.

Efficient Filtration Without Compromise

Solventum’s solutions deliver high-flow performance with high-efficiency filtration. For operations requiring flexibility, a full range of filter bags and cartridge filters ensures you have the right solution for your specific process requirements.

3M™ High Flow Filter Systems: Streamlined Performance

When operational efficiency is critical, the 3M™ High Flow™ Filter Systems offer up to 500 gallons per minute per cartridge. Their Compound Radial Pleat design provides significantly more usable surface area than standard cartridges, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Ergonomic handles and a simple twist-to-lock mechanism make operation and maintenance faster and easier, minimizing downtime and keeping your process flowing smoothly.

3M™ 100 Series Bag Filters: Particle Control

The 3M™ 100 Series Bag Filters are engineered to capture very fine particles with exceptional efficiency while maintaining low initial pressure drops. These filters absorb trace oils, offer extended filter life, and provide a convenient, high-performance alternative to traditional cartridges. They’re designed to keep chemical processing operations running reliably while maintaining product quality.

3M™ Betafine™ XL Series Filters: Broad Chemical Compatibility

For applications that require versatility and broad chemical compatibility, 3M™ Betafine™ XL Series Filters deliver high contaminant-loading capacity with low pressure drop. Their pleated polypropylene design allows for smaller system footprints, reduces capital expenses, and integrates easily with existing housings, all without compromising performance. Filters are available in absolute ratings from 0.2 to 70 microns and lengths up to 40 inches, with multiple end modifications to suit most housings.
