What does physical/chemical cleaning entail?

It combines mechanical actions like brushing with chemical agents to remove contaminants.

When is this method preferred?

For components that require gentle cleaning or when specific residues are resistant to other methods.

Are the chemicals used safe for all materials?

We select chemicals compatible with the materials being cleaned to prevent damage.

Physical/Chemical Cleaning

How it works

Contaminants of all types can remain embedded in the deepest parts of filter media and metallic components, even after many cycles of cleaning. By delivering the cleaning chemistry to the contaminant, Carolina PEC can provide effective and consistent deep cleaning of filters with nominal media ratings as low as 0.5 microns.

What we do

From technical additives used in polymer applications to embedded organics remaining from refining applications, Carolina PEC solves challenges across many industries with an engineered physical/chemical cleaning process.

An international leader in PET manufacturing operates lines at their facility in the southeastern US making small batches of a highly technical product used in electronics applications. The additive package for this polymer leaves large amounts of inorganics embedded in the filter media, even after traditional melt filter cleaning methods. Carolina PEC uses a physical/chemical cleaning process to polish the filters before reuse, allowing for low start-up pressure drops, assuring the end user that each filter set will remain on-line throughout each new campaign.

“Carolina Filters looks for alternate means of cleaning more than other companies do. The other companies are stagnant on how they clean whereas Carolina tries hard to lessen their environmental footprint. It is always important to try to take care of the environment so that is important to us. Carolina Filters is always looking for new processes and new ways to refine and improve their cleaning expertise.”
