If you work with any sort of industrial equipment, you've probably heard the term "Power Breather" before. Large-scale machinery, gearboxes, sumps and reservoirs, and other types of production equipment make use of them. But if you're not sure what they are or how they work, then you're in the right place. In this article, the industrial filtration experts at Advanced Filtration will not only go over the basics of Power Breathers, but also we'll explain why they are an important component for your critical machinery. What is a Power Breather? The Power Breather belongs to the family of devices known…

Effective filtration of power generation engines is critical in order to avoid costly downtime and repairs. Industrial filtration systems remove contaminants from the engine oil, fuel, and coolant before they can cause damage. By preventing wear and corrosion, industrial filters help power generators run more efficiently and last longer. In this article, the industrial filtration experts at Advanced Filtration will discuss the different types of industrial filtration systems and how they work to protect power generators. We will also touch on the importance of proper maintenance and replacement of filters to keep power generators running smoothly. Why is filtration so…

We here at Advanced Filtration like to think of ourselves as veterans of the field--but the field itself goes back... way, way back. In fact, industrial water filtration, surprisingly, is not a new concept. It actually goes back 7,000 years, to one of the most advanced ancient civilizations at the time. And while we salute the Ancient Egyptians for their ingenuity, 21st Century filtration methods are probably a bit more sanitary and secure. In this article, we're going to take a look at the history of industrial filtration, and see how it has advanced and improved over time, to get us…

Pollution has become a major problem, and we're all guilty of contributing to it. Did you know that 60% of the dust in your home is from outside and that it's not all OK to breathe in? It's also estimated that about 90% of CO2 emissions in big cities come from road vehicles. While there are several ways to reduce these pollutants, industrial air filters are one great place to start. Purification systems and air pollution control equipment have been developed to help significantly reduce the number of harmful pollutants released into the atmosphere. Advanced Filtration is a well-known provider…

No pun intended, but in this article, the industrial filter experts at Advanced Filtration are going to look at various types of filters and filtration systems and discuss some of the main differences, especially as they are applied to industrial, chemical, and business use, versus consumer use and auto use. Filtering Out The Filters Not all filters are created equal. While they all do the job of separating particles from liquids or gasses, different filters are designed for different purposes. For example, there’s a big difference between standard car filters and those used by high-octane motorsport vehicles, and it can…

Here at Advanced Filtration, we encounter hundreds, if not thousands, of different kinds of products that are used in a variety of industrial filtration systems. And in our many years of selling industrial filters, we come across common questions again and again--so in this article, we'd like to discuss the the different between wet and dry filters in industrial filtration systems, and how they are used. Wet and dry filters are commonly used to remove contaminants from gases, liquids, or slurries in industrial filtration systems. In many cases, it can be difficult to determine which type of filter to use…
