Vacuum pump traps absorb process contaminants

A new series of replaceable filter elements for the company's full line of vacuum pump inlet traps, that target specific types of process byproducts, has been introduced by US-based MV Products.

MV Filter Elements for specific process contaminants include four new types: A proprietary activated carbon media for ammonia vapors, SodaSorb for HCL, Resisorb for mercury vapour absorption, and activated charcoal for organics. Utilising 2.75 in by 4.5 in or 9.0 in tall filter element shells that fit their full line of vacuum inlet traps, they are suitable for applications ranging from 25 to 1,000 CFM and may be used in any combination.

MV Filter Elements are designed to fit the Posi-Trap which comes in sizes that hold from one to four filter elements and the MV Multi-Trap featuring a large knockdown stage and up to six separate stages, each holding multiple filter elements. Other filter elements offered include stainless steel and copper gauze, molecular sieve, activated alumina, and pleated polypropylene.
