Transport industry Filters

The transport industry encompasses more than just the automotive industry and includes all forms of transportation - road, rail, water and air. All of these transport industries require filtration, whether this is in the manufacturing process or for use in the final mode of transport.

From our factory in the UK, Microtech Filters manufacture a range of filters for the renewable Transport industry, including Cartridge filters, Bag Filters and panel filters. These filters are used in multiple areas of the transport industry, including:

Fuel Polishing filters

Fractional distillation of crude oil produces an array of different petroleum products including petrol, kerosene, diesel, bitumen and several others. Fuel polishing however is an additional fine filtering process to remove any remaining impurities left in fuel such as dirt or water. Fuel polishing relies on filters to work, usually coalescer filters, and results in fuel that isn't contaminated, which performs better and avoids damage when used.

Automotive engineering and manufacturing

The automotive sector accounts for a significant amount of the global economy and relies on filters throughout the whole lifecycle of a vehicle. This includes filtering raw materials to create vehicle components, a wide range of filtration in the manufacturing of vehicles, such as hydraulic filters used in robots on the production line, and the ongoing use of filters within vehicles once made, whether this is an air filter, fuel filter or cabin filter.

Railway and Underground

Railway stations, in particular underground stations contain high levels of airbourne pollutants, with some statistics suggesting that the London Underground has up to 30 times more air pollution than the congested London roads above them. This air pollution includes Particulate matter, dust, soot, Bacteria, Viruses and much more. Microtech can manufacture a range of Dust filters and Air Filters to fit in any form of air filtration systems, whether these are on the platforms or inside train carriages to clean the air.
