filter equipment dual filter vessel

The Dual Vessel Cartridge Filter Unit is based on 25 years of experience in manufacturing oilfield equipment. Developed with direct input from our customers, our unique twin vessel filter unit brings together proven performance and innovative features in one reliable and efficient solution. HSE (Health, Safety & Environment), efficiency and reliability are the key drivers for our product improvement and design.

For the vessel closure, you can opt for our Rudi Quick Opening Closure, which enables fast, safe, and tool-free filter change-outs—minimizing downtime and improving operator safety.

The unit is engineered and built in full compliance with DNV 2.7-1 / ISO 10855 / EN 12079 standards, and certified by DNV or Lloyd’s Register. Our standard DFC24 unit has two housings with each 50 cartridges and 6 valves for parallel, in series and by-pass operation.

The Dual Vessel Filter unit is also available as Dual Vessel Bag Filter Unit and Dual Vessel Combi Filter Unit.

Their input directly improves the design of the next dual vessel unit. Over the years this process has helped us improve our equipment. Thus every dual vessel filter unit is built not only with decades of specialized knowledge, but also on the experience of hundreds of customers that need the best quality for their operation.

        The unique design features of Dutch Filtrations dual vessel filter unit

        As a consequence of the feedback of our customers every dual vessel filter unit made by Dutch Filtration has unique design features. Compared to the duplex filter units of other companies (a.o. TDW 610) we did several upgrades. Instead of the old fashioned swing-bolt system, the dual vessel filter unit is equipped with Rudi Quick opening closure. This enables much faster and safer exchange of filter elements. The old fashioned steel grid gates are replaced by heavy duty netting that provides easy and safe access to the skid.

        FAQ

        What is a dual vessel cartridge filter?

        A dual vessel cartridge filter consists of two filter housings connected in parallel or series. It allows uninterrupted filtration by switching between vessels without shutdown.

        Why use a dual vessel system instead of a single vessel?

        Dual vessels ensure continuous operation, reduce downtime during cartridge change-outs, and increase total flow capacity.

        What types of filter cartridges can be used?

        The vessel is compatible with pleated, wound, spunbond, water absorption, oil absorption or carbon cartridges in 40” and micron ratings (0.5–200 µm).

        What is the maximum flow capacity?

        Depending on cartridges per vessel and connection size, flows up to several hundred m³/h can be handled.

        What pressure and temperature ratings are available?

        Standard designs: 10 bar / 150 psi and 70°C, higher ratings available upon request.

        Which industries use this system?

        General Industrial, offshore and onshore oilfield, food, geothermal, and chemicals.

        How often should cartridges be replaced?

        Service life depends on feedwater quality and solids load, typically hourse to weeks.

        Can it be skid-mounted for offshore use?

        Yes, available in DNV 2.7-1 certified offshore skids.

        Are the vessels designed to international codes?

        Yes, ASME VIII Div.1 or EN13445 with PED, with CE marking when required.

        Is it available for rental as well as purchase?

        Yes, Dutch Filtration offers both options. Rental only in Western Europe
