Non-Metallic Bag Filter Housings for Demanding Liquid Services

Non-metallic bag filter vessels provide a practical filtration option for compatible liquids where metal housings may not be the preferred choice. They are commonly selected for water treatment, chemical handling and industrial process applications where corrosion resistance and material compatibility are important.

These vessels are designed to hold standard filter bags or cleanable baskets, allowing suspended solids to be captured as liquid passes through the filter media. Depending on the application, non-metallic housings can be supplied in polypropylene, glass-filled polypropylene, PVC or CPVC materials.

Monarch can assist with housing material selection, filter bag or basket compatibility, chemical compatibility review, connection requirements, skid arrangements and practical installation considerations.

Suitable where you need to:

  • Filter compatible chemical liquids
  • Use non-metallic vessel construction
  • Improve corrosion resistance
  • Support water treatment applications
  • Use Size 01 or Size 02 filter bags
  • Install simplex, duplex or skid-mounted filtration

What is a Non-Metallic Bag Filter Vessel?

A non-metallic bag filter vessel is a liquid filtration housing manufactured from a compatible plastic or composite material rather than metal. The vessel holds a filter bag or basket and is installed in the process line to remove suspended solids from the liquid stream.

The non-metallic construction can provide advantages in selected chemical and water treatment applications, particularly where corrosion resistance or compatibility with specific process liquids is required.

Correct material selection is essential. The housing material, seal material, filter bag media and operating conditions should all be reviewed together before selecting a vessel.

Material Selection Guide

Non-metallic vessel material should be selected based on chemical compatibility, temperature, pressure and installation requirements.

Material Typical Selection Reason Important Considerations
PP Polypropylene General non-metallic filtration option for compatible liquids. Confirm pressure, temperature and chemical compatibility before selection.
GFPP Glass-Filled Polypropylene Selected where a more rigid polypropylene-based housing is suitable. Check compatibility with the process liquid and operating conditions.
PVC Often considered for compatible water treatment and chemical applications. Temperature and chemical compatibility limits must be reviewed.
CPVC Selected for compatible applications where CPVC offers advantages over PVC. Confirm service temperature, chemical exposure and connection requirements.
Important: Non-metallic vessel selection should always be confirmed against the specific fluid, concentration, temperature, pressure and site conditions. Seal materials and filter bag media must also be compatible with the process liquid.

Sizes and System Configurations

Non-metallic bag filter vessels are available to suit Size 01 and Size 02 filter bags or baskets. These common bag sizes allow the vessel to be selected around the required flow rate, solids loading and available installation space.

Depending on the application, vessels may be installed as a single simplex unit, as a duplex arrangement for changeover operation, or as part of a skid-mounted filtration package.

Bag or Basket Sizes Size 01 and Size 02 options
Connection Range 1-1/4" to 4" nominal sizes, approximately DN32 to DN100
System Types Simplex, duplex and skid-mounted configurations
Media Options Compatible filter bags or cleanable baskets depending on vessel and application

Bag Filter or Basket Operation

These vessels can be used with disposable filter bags where simple changeout and a broad selection of micron ratings are required. In selected applications, cleanable baskets may be preferred where reusable filtration media or coarser straining is suitable.

The preferred media type should be selected by considering the liquid, required filtration result, particle type, solids loading, changeout frequency and pressure drop allowance.

Typical media options

  • Nominal-rated filter bags
  • High-efficiency filter bags
  • Polypropylene, polyester or nylon media where compatible
  • Perforated or mesh-lined cleanable baskets
  • Application-specific replacement media

Benefits of Non-Metallic Bag Filter Vessels

A practical filtration option where chemical compatibility and corrosion resistance are key selection factors.

Corrosion Resistant Construction

Non-metallic materials can provide an alternative to metal housings in compatible chemical or water treatment applications.

Multiple Material Choices

PP, GFPP, PVC and CPVC options allow the vessel to be selected around the liquid and operating conditions.

Filter Bag Compatibility

Vessels are available for Size 01 and Size 02 filter bags or baskets, supporting common industrial replacement media.

Simplex, Duplex or Skid Options

Systems can be configured for single-vessel operation, duty/standby service or skid-mounted filtration packages.

Practical Maintenance

Bag filter vessels provide straightforward access for filter bag replacement or basket cleaning when installed with suitable service space.

Selection Support

Monarch can assist with vessel material, bag media, compatibility, sizing and installation considerations.

How to Select a Non-Metallic Bag Filter Vessel

Correct vessel selection depends on the chemical service, flow rate, temperature, pressure, solids loading, required filtration level and connection requirements. With non-metallic housings, material compatibility is one of the most important selection steps.

The vessel body, seals, filter bag media and any baskets or internal components should all be checked for compatibility with the process liquid. Pressure and temperature limits should also be reviewed carefully for the selected material.

Key information required for selection:

  • Fluid name and concentration
  • Operating temperature
  • Operating pressure and pressure surges
  • Required flow rate
  • Fluid viscosity
  • Required micron rating
  • Solids loading and particle type
  • Preferred material, such as PP, GFPP, PVC or CPVC
  • Connection size and connection type
  • Simplex, duplex or skid arrangement preference
  • Filter bag or cleanable basket preference

Typical Applications

Non-metallic bag filter vessels are commonly used where suspended solids need to be removed from compatible liquids and a corrosion-resistant housing material is preferred.

Non-Metallic Bag Filter Vessel FAQs

A non-metallic bag filter vessel is a liquid filtration housing made from a plastic or composite material rather than metal. It is used to hold a filter bag or basket and remove suspended solids from compatible liquids.

Common non-metallic vessel materials include polypropylene, glass-filled polypropylene, PVC and CPVC. The correct material depends on the fluid, concentration, temperature, pressure and site requirements.

Depending on the vessel and application, non-metallic housings may be used with compatible filter bags or cleanable baskets. The media should be selected for the required micron rating, solids loading and fluid compatibility.

Non-metallic vessels are commonly considered where corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility or non-metallic construction is preferred. They should be selected only after checking the specific liquid, temperature, pressure and installation requirements.

Useful information includes fluid name and concentration, temperature, operating pressure, flow rate, viscosity, solids loading, micron rating, connection size, preferred material and whether a simplex, duplex or skid arrangement is required.
