Pentair Oil & Gas Separations Compax® Coreless Filter

The major innovation in COMPAX is its elegant simplicity. It consists of two parts: the COMPAX coreless filter and the reusable core. The reusable COMPAX core is semi-permanently installed into the existing filter vessel without the need for special tools. After installation of the core, the open end of the cartridge slides down the length of the core and engages a positive sealing O-ring to integrally seal the filter and core together. The reusable cores have standard collapse ratings of 75 or 150 psid, depending on the series and materials of construction. Higher collapse rings are available upon request. Filter disposal costs are continually increasing. In some cases, it costs more to dispose of used filters than it did to purchase them! The coreless design of Pentair Porous Media's elements allow them to be easily collapsed or crushed and occupy less space in disposal containers than cartridge or high surface-area bags. Since more Pentair Porous Media coreless filters can fit into disposal containers, disposal costs are reduced. And because there are no metallic components in our coreless filters, they can be incinerated for environmentally friendly disposal.
