Suspended solids

The amount of suspended solids in a fluid is an important fact in the decision for which filter to use. This is because suspended solids are able to block the filtrationproces somewhere down the line. So it is important to remove the suspended solids.The bigger the solids are, the coarser the filtration can be. Sometimes there are solids with a different seize in a fluid but all the solids have to be removed. In this case, the best thing to do is to install two filters, the first filter for the bigger solids and the second filter for the other filters.This protects the filter from clogging and the smaller solids are also removed from the fluid.
