Industrial Fluids Filtration Solutions
GORE™ Membrane Filter Sock and Tube assemblies provide highly efficient ePTFE membrane filtration for use in tubular backpulse liquid filtration systems.

Overview
GORE™ Membrane Filter Sock and Tube assemblies provide excellent filtration efficiency and economical performance in high flow rate and/or high feed solids applications due to a combination of GORE™ membrane’s unique properties and extensive application and manufacturing expertise.

GORE membrane filter socks and GORE® filter tube assemblies are used in Kraft pulp mills, Chlor-Alkali plants and other process or wastewater filtration applications in chemical processing industries. GORE™ membrane filter socks have a unique microporous membrane surface that prevents particles from becoming imbedded inside the membrane structure. The membranes are available in several different micron ratings and are laminated to a polypropylene felt, a polyester felt, or a felt made with Gore fibers depending on the chemical and thermal requirements of the application.

Markets & Applications
KRAFT PULP MILLS
GORE membrane filter socks are used in white liquor and lime mud wash tubular pressure filters in the pulp and paper industry.

The membranes, available in several different micron ratings, are laminated to a polypropylene felt support. An all welded construction and special EPDM O-rings are used to greatly reduce the potential for bypassing found in other sock constructions.
