Category: Bag Filters

Model format: `POEL-[MICRON]-[SIZE]-[FLANGE]-[OPTIONS]`
Example: `POEL-5-2-CS`

## Overview
Dual‑gradient bag—meltblown depth core with felt outer—provides high dirt/trace‑oil holding, low dP, and fewer changeouts, while positive‑seal collars minimize bypass

## How It Works
Fluid flows inside-to-outside through a basket-supported bag. The graded melt-blown core captures fine and coarse solids (and tramp oils), while the outer felt distributes flow and adds support.

## Applications
- Water and desalination pretreatment; general plant/process water
- Chemicals, coatings/inks, coolants: clarification of high‑solids or high‑loading fluids
- Pulp & paper, power, electronics, marine: utility liquids and final polishing
- Data centers: TCS CDU filtration, FWS cooling tower, chilled water filtration
