## Overview
Stainless wire-mesh cartridge engineered for demanding liquids and gases where polymer media fall short, delivering durable clarification with repeatable performance

## How It Works
 Fluid passes outside-to-inside across precision-woven wire mesh, particles are sieved on the surface and released during backwash or cleaning

## Applications
- High-temp gas steam particulate
- Hot oil, resin, polymer fines
- Caustic, solvent guard
- Seawater, well sand & silt
- Compressor, turbine inlet protection
- Lube, hydraulic recirculation
- Coolant, cutting-fluid cleanup
- Pulp & paper whitewater/coatings
- Marine fuel-water prefilter
- Nozzle heat-exchanger protection
- Catalyst fines, slurry clarification
- Boiler make-up, condensate guard
