Velcon Filters manufactures hundreds of different filter cartridges, with a range of filtration efficiencies in a variety of configurations, to meet specific industry filtration requirements. Cartridges qualified to military specifications are also offered.

Included is the industry’s most complete line of cartridge sets qualified by test to the latest edition of EI 1581 for use in Filter/Separators and EI 1583 for use in monitor vessels (water absorbing cartridges).

Super-absorbent Aquacon^® cartridges offer remarkable water removing and holding capability in addition to 1/2 micron particulate removal. They are qualified to EI 1583 specifications.
Other cartridges are offered for the removal of granular and colloidal contaminants as well as surfactants.

This family of cartridges provides optimum filtration performance when used in either Velcon filter vessels or in housings made by Quantek/Facet. Fram, Bendix, Bowser/Keene/Kaydon, Purolator, and numerous others.

Filter/Separators

Filter/Separators are two-stage vessels designed to remove dirt and separate water from fuel at refineries, product terminals, fuel farms, and on refueling vehicles.
They continuously coalesce and separate water, which collects in the vessel sump where it can be drained. Velcon Filter/Separators have passed numerous tests qualifying them to the latest EI 1581 edition. Construction is to ASME Code. Units qualified to military specifications are also available.

Coalescer Cartridges

Separator Cartridges

Used as a first-stage cartridge in Filter/Separators. Remove particulates and coalesce water into large water drops. Also available in screw base design.

Second stage cartridges in Filter/Separators repel coalesced water drops which then collect in the sump for easy removal. Available in Teflon^® Coated Screen, Synthetic Media or Pleated Paper Media.

Water Protection Filters

Velcon’s Water Protection Filters are single-stage filter vessel systems which remove water and dirt from Avgas and Jet Fuel and provide protection from water at the point of final fuel filtration. When a monitor system’s water holding capacity is reached, the flow of fuel is restricted. Units meet all EI Specifications. Construction is to ASME Code Section VIII.

CDF^® Cartridges

Aquacon^® Cartridges

Absorb water and filter solids from Avgas and Jet Fuel. Provide protection against water slug transmission.

Filter particulate matter and absorb water with great efficiency. Water capacity is approximately 40 times greater than 2” diameter monitor cartridges. Also provide protection against water slugs.

Micronic and Clay Vessels

Micronic and Clay Vessels remove dirt and surfactants. Micronic vessels offer economical particulate prefiltration upstream of clay units or Filter/Separators. Clay elements remove surfactants. Construction is to ASME Code Section VIII.

Pleated Paper Cartridges

Fiberglass Filter Cartridges

Corrugated pleated media with large surface area for filtration of granular contaminants. Also available in threaded base design.

Progressively finer layers of fiberglass filter colloidal or slimy contaminants.

Clay Canister Cartridges

Commissioning Cartridges

Attapulgus clay canisters for removal of surfactants from jet fuel and other petroleum products.

Commissioning Cartridges (our FI-xxx series) are now available. They can be used in place of coalescers to remove heavy solid contaminants during start up. Our FO-754PL05 and other shorter length filter elements can be used in place of clay canisters for initial system flush.
