Patent number: 8388898Abstract: The reduction of nitrogen oxides in gas is carried out, by means of selective reaction of the nitrogen oxide with the reducing agent in the in the solid catalyst. In order to achieve high catalytic activity, the above is carried out at high gas temperatures. As a rule, ceramic filter elements, coated with catalytic material are used. This does, however, give rise to the risk the catalytically active components are stripped from the filter during the hot gas filtration. A ceramic filter element with support material in the form of particles, with binder material and catalytic material is thus disclosed, whereby the binder material comprises catalytic material, or the binder material is partly replaced by the catalyst material and the support material particles (1) are connected to each other by means of the catalyst and/or binder material.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2010Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Pall CorporationInventors: Steffen Heidenreich, Max-Eckhard Roessler, Astrid Walch, Manfred Gutmann, Sven Chudzinski

Patent number: 8082986Abstract: The present invention relates to filtering device which is especially designed for use as a well screen filter. The filtering device comprises a tubular supporting element (12) and two or more tubular segments (14) of a porous filter medium arranged in axial alignment to one another and concentrically and essentially coextensive with the tubular supporting element (12), said tubular supporting element (12) having a tubular wall provided with a plurality of perforations (26, 28, 30) and having a plurality of projections projecting from said tubular wall, said projections supporting the two or more tubular segments in axial alignment with the tubular wall, said tubular segments each having two end portions which are in sealing contact with the tubular supporting element or an end portion of another tubular segment.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2007Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Pall CorporationInventors: Steffen Heidenreich, Astrid Walch, Martin Bergmann

Publication number: 20050263918Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacturing of a filter element having a porous body, said body comprising a bottom and a top portion, wherein said bottom and top portions define a cavity structure in between them, the cavity structure comprising an outlet for discharging filtrate having accumulated in the cavity structure. In order to avoid the laborious post-treatment or after-treatment of the filter body, the inventive process comprising forming a green filter element comprising powder injection molding said bottom portion in a first mold; opening the first mold; placing a core element on the bottom portion, said core element corresponding in its shape to the cavity structure of the body; powder injection molding said top portion onto said bottom portion and core element in a second mold; opening the second mold; and removing the so produced green filter element comprising the core element; and sintering the green filter element.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2005Publication date: December 1, 2005Applicant: Pall CorporationInventors: Steffen Heidenreich, Astrid Walch, Martin Bergmann

Publication number: 20050061735Abstract: The invention pertains to a filter element for cross-flow filtration processes, in which essentially all channels for fluid to be filtered, in particular, the inner channels for fluid to be filtered, contribute to the filtration capacity, wherein said filter element should also be easy to handle. This filter element is characterized by the fact that several filtrate channels (8) are arranged between the channels (7, 7?) for fluid to be filtered in the form of a regular arrangement, wherein each filtrate channel (8) is surrounded by at least three channels (7, 7?) for fluid to be filtered All filtrate channels (8) are provided with a common filtrate collection device (30, 30?) on their outflow side which discharges the filtrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2002Publication date: March 24, 2005Inventors: Steffen Heidenreich, Martin Bergmann, Astrid Walch
