Sintered Porous Metal Sparger 316L Stainless Steel Filter Sparger

Sintered Porous Metal Sparger, 316L Stainless Steel Filter Sparger

Sintered porous metal spargers with tiny pores producing millions of tiny droplets increasing the mass transfer surface area of reactions. Sintered porous metal spargers increase the mass transfer surface area almost 8-10 times than a usual sparger.

• Pore sizes of 0.5 – 200 μm available
• Customized flow rates and design
• Long lifetime
• High flow rates
• Customized fittings
• Standard available

The sintered metal spargers provide a rugged construction, are temperature and corrosion resistant, and have a larger gas-liquid contact area. These spargers provide a consistent and evenly dispersed gas. High efficiency sparging is achieved by fine bubble propagation. The fine bubble propagation will provide maximum surface area for effective “mass transfer”.

Applications of sintered porous metal stainless steel sparger

• Aeration – Air sparging to meet BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) on the waste stream.
• Agitation – Air injection for mixing liquids in a vessel.
• Bioremediation – Air sparging to stimulate the growth of bacteria for hazardous waste treatment.
• Carbonation – CO2 sparging for carbonated beverages and beer.
• Chlorine bleaching – Chlorine sparging for bleaching pulp in manufacture of paper.
• Column flotation – Air sparging for coal flotation, and other separations of solids.
• Dewatering – Nitrogen sparging to remove entrained water from motor oil.
• Fermentation – Oxygen or air sparging to enhance cell growth in fermentation reactions.
• Gas/liquid reactions – Sparging air, oxygen, or other gases into reactors for improved performance.
• Hydrogenation – Hydrogen sparging for a broad spectrum of chemical hydrogenation reactions.
• Oil flotation – Air or natural gas sparging for oil removal from produced water from oil wells.
• Oxygen bleaching – Oxygen sparging for bleaching pulp in the manufacture of paper.
• Oxygen stripping – Nitrogen sparging to remove oxygen from edible oils, wine, and juices.
• Blanketing in Storage tanks
• Oxygenation – Oxygen sparging in fish farming for significant stimulation of fish growth.
• Ozonation – Ozone sparging to sanitize ultrapure water systems in pharmaceutical plants.
• pH control – CO2 or NH3 sparging to adjust pH in waste or process streams.
• Steam injection – Direct steam injection for efficient heating, and to eliminate “steam hammer.”
• Volatile stripping – Air sparging for removal of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) from waste streams.
