In the chemical industry it is very common to use substances that are highly polluting to the environment. Whether handling or even manufacturing products, the air tends to get polluted. The use of air filters is critical to ensuring safety and a contaminant-free environment.
Air filters are applied depending on the environment, filtration system and industrial segment. Air filters can provide a location:
- Free from bad odors;
- Free from contamination to the environment and workers on site;
- Provides suitable temperatures;
- Offers beneficial air quality to employees, free from contaminants such as viruses, fungi and bacteria, and from the very substances that can be highly harmful to health;
- Ensures the quality of industrial processes;
Below we will list the main types of filters that are used in the chemical industry:
Multi-Bag Air Filters
Os Multi-Bag Air Filters are the most indicated by the chemical industry and other segments. Multi-Bag Filters feature high accumulation capacity due to large effective filtering area. They are recommended for high air flows, combined with large concentrations of particulates.
The use of Multi-Bag air filters provides the following advantages:
- They have a long service life without affecting the operation of the equipment. This guarantees fewer filter changes and a direct reduction in maintenance costs and factory stoppages;
- Multi-Bag Air Filters have a wide range of filtration efficiency. Multi-Pocket Filters can be coarse (G3 and G4), medium (M5 and M6) and fine (F7, F8 and F9). ABNT NBR-16101:2012 filtering classes.
- They have low pressure drop, reducing energy consumption
- They are composed of inert, non-toxic and non-carcinogenic microfibers. No support mechanism in operation in self-supporting filters and filtering area up to 15 times larger than the face area.
Multi-Bag Air Filters are indicated for the chemical industry very often, but other air filters are widely used depending on the type of industrial environment.
HEPA Air Filter - Absolute
They are manufactured in classes E11, H13 and H14 (EN 1822), they are extremely used when the need is to obtain the maximum in air purity. This filter is widely used in controlled environments, clean rooms and operating rooms, but its use is extremely efficient in the manufacture of products that need to have control of NO contamination by the air. In this case, absolute Hepa filters are widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Air Filter - Activated Carbon
Activated Carbon Air Filters have a high adsorption capacity for odors, harmful, corrosive or irritating gases. They are composed of activated carbon cells with specific treatment to passivate the gas molecules through adsorption, absorption or chemisorption.
Linter Filters manufactures a complete line of activated carbon filters. For technical information on activated carbon filters, click here!
Fine Air Filters
Fine Air Filters are widely used in the chemical industry as they remove airborne contaminants such as smoke, steam, soot, etc. They have filtering class: F7, F8 and F9 (ABNT NBR-16101:2012). They are presented in flat or wedge format. For more details of fine air filters, you can go to our page clicking here!
These are the main filters used in the chemical industry, however other air filters may be used depending on your filtration system.
