Vessels for High Flow 
High Pressure Filters
High pressure compressors are used in a variety of
applications. Many owners, operators and designers
of high pressure compressed air or gas systems rely on
Finite for high-quality air treatment filters. End users of high
pressure compressed air, such as scuba divers and fire rescue
workers, depend on this high quality breathable air.
Throughout the stages of compression many contaminants
can enter into the system. Excessive amounts of liquid
aerosols and solid particulate contamination are common
in high pressure systems. In addition, higher temperature
levels are possible and may cause liquid oils to varnish. This
contamination can lead to poor component performance
and wear that may lead to unscheduled maintenance.
Even submicronic contaminants in compressed air or
gas systems can foul multistage compressors, increase
maintenance costs or eventually make it into your final
product. 
Finite offers a variety of high pressure compressed air and gas filters. With our wide range of elements, we have a solution for every stage of compression, as well as at the point of use. Whether you are storing high pressure air or gas or using a continuous flow, count on Finite to protect your equipment from contamination. Finite is the solution to ending high pressure contamination fouling.
Alternative Vehicles Need High Pressure Filtration
Compressed Natural Gas, or CNG, is a leading alternative to traditional fuel for the automotive industry. CNG is used in passenger vehicles, pickup trucks, in transit and on school buses. It can be less expensive than gasoline, and is more environmentally friendly – it reduces the amount of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon vehicle exhaust emissions.
Natural gas is gathered from a pipeline and travels to a connecting compressor station. The gas is elevated to pressures ranging from 2000 PSIG up to 5000 PSIG and the resultant CNG is stored in large tanks. The CNG then makes its way to a gas dispenser where it is ready for use in natural gas vehicles.
Contaminants can enter into the gas at any stage of this processing. Filters are critical at each stage to ensure clean gas as a final product. Contamination that collects during handling, water that condenses in tanks and compressors that leak oil into the fuel stream are all problems that could shorten the life of expensive equipment, create unnecessary downtime and increase maintenance costs.
From pipeline to engine, Finite filters provide the critical filtration required for most alternative fuel systems. See high pressure applications for more detailed information on this application.
