Wet filters to prevent pollution and fires

Venturi Cover

Wet filters, also known as water filters, are an extremely functional solution for industrial air filtration. Compared to dry filters, water filtration systems use hydrodynamic mixing of air and water to effectively remove dust, pollutants and hazardous particles even at high temperatures, offeringexceptional versatility and high performance.

In the presence of hazardous particles or high-temperature gases, wet systems provide enhanced safety and performance. Pollutants are completely absorbed by water, which consequently neutralizes their impact on working environments and personnel health.

Water filter operation

The operating principle of wet filters is as simple as it is high-performance: they are hydrodynamic-type filter units, which use the effect of mixing air with water to remove contaminants. Contaminated air is drawn into a centrifugal unit and then hit by a stream of water that captures the solid particles. The air, before being released back into the environment, passes through a droplet separator, while the water is collected in a tank and recycled. This technology ensureshigh pollutant abatement efficiency.

Although the costs of wet suction and filtration equipment are higher than those of common dry filters, they are more suitable and necessary in many production processes. In fact, their main advantage lies in theirhigh versatility, which makes them suitable even for applications with gaseous flows at high temperatures and particularly dusty or very hazardous pollutants.

Thanks to the numerous Coral offices in the Italian territory, our reality is able to meet the needs of different companies, especially those located in the regions of Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Piedmont and Veneto.

Industrial applications of wet filters

These types of filters find applications in a wide range of industries where professional and safe industrial vacuuming needs to be performed. They are particularly used in thechemical and pharmaceutical industries, where it is essential to ensure a controlled environment. They also find use in metallurgy and the treatment of welding fumes, helping to reduce operator exposure to harmful substances. In addition, they are ideal for industries that generate combustible dust, as they offer effective protection against sparks and fires. Finally, they are adopted in manufacturing processes that employ flammable or toxic substances.

Filters that can be integrated with wet filters

To increase plant safety, Coral, in addition to offering wet filtration solutions, provides integrable devices that are ideal for reducing the risk of fire or accidents in the workplace, such as spark and fire-fighting components. These devices are designed for maximum reliability and greatly reduce the risk of fire, even in the presence of dust or potentially flammable substances, making the plant comply with the strictest safety regulations.

Why choose Coral wet systems? 

 Coral filters offer numerous advantages for countless processes:

  • Maximum versatility: ideal for handling gaseous streams at high temperatures, dust loads and highly hazardous agents.
  • High efficiency: particles are blocked through impact with wet surfaces and direct water interception.
  • Energy saving: purified air can be fed back into the environment and water recycled, reducing consumption.
