Liquid Filtration Bags
Liquid Filtration Bags are industrial filter media designed to remove suspended solids and contaminants from liquids, process chemicals, viscous fluids, oils, paints and other industrial fluids. Aris Filtration manufactures liquid filter bags in polypropylene, polyester, nylon and other media, with micron ratings from 1 to 150 microns and customized sizes and fittings for different filtration systems.
What Are Liquid Filtration Bags?
Liquid filtration bags are replaceable filter elements used inside bag filter housings to separate unwanted particles from process liquids. During filtration, contaminated liquid passes through the filter bag while suspended solids are retained by the filtration media.
A liquid filter bag is selected according to the fluid characteristics, particle size, required micron rating, flow requirement, contaminant loading, temperature, chemical compatibility and filter housing configuration.
Aris Filtration manufactures liquid filter bags for high-flow filtration applications involving high-solid and high-viscosity liquids. Its published product range includes PP, polyester, nylon and other filtration media options.
How Do Liquid Filter Bags Work?
The filtration process is straightforward:
- Liquid enters the filter housing: The contaminated process liquid enters the bag filtration system.
- Liquid passes through the filter bag: The filtration media allows the liquid to pass while retaining unwanted particles.
- Particles are captured: Suspended solids and contaminants are retained within or on the filtration media.
- Filtered liquid exits the housing: The clarified liquid continues to the next stage of the production process.
A liquid filter bag is only as effective as its compatibility with the process fluid, filtration rating, housing and operating conditions.
For high-flow applications, Aris Filtration also manufactures bag filter housings designed for viscous fluids and large liquid-flow requirements.

The published product range also identifies filtration media including needle felt, monofilament, multifilament and Nomex for particular liquid filtration requirements.
Polypropylene Liquid Filter Bags
Polypropylene (PP) filter bags are suitable for compatible industrial liquid filtration applications where chemical compatibility and particulate removal are important selection factors.
Polyester Liquid Filter Bags
Polyester filter bags can be considered for compatible industrial fluids and applications requiring suitable mechanical and filtration characteristics.
Nylon Liquid Filter Bags
Nylon filtration media can be selected for applications where the fluid and operating conditions are compatible with nylon.
Media selection should always be based on the actual process fluid and operating conditions rather than micron rating alone.

What Are the Benefits of Liquid Filter Bags?
Liquid filter bags are used when industrial processes require practical, high-flow particulate filtration.
Key benefits include:
- High flow rate for demanding liquid filtration applications
- Low pressure drop to support efficient fluid movement
- High filtration efficiency for particulate removal
- Good chemical compatibility when the correct media is selected
- High dirt-holding capacity for applications with significant contaminant loading
- Easy installation and replacement
- Multiple micron ratings for different filtration requirements
- Multiple fitting options for compatibility with different housings
- Customized sizes for application-specific requirements
These features are published by Aris Filtration for its Liquid Filter Bags.
How Do You Select the Right Liquid Filter Bag?
Choosing a liquid filtration bag should begin with the process rather than simply selecting the lowest micron rating.
Consider these parameters:
- Liquid type: Identify whether the fluid is water, oil, chemical, paint, ink, acid, alcohol or another process liquid.
- Required micron rating: Select the filtration rating according to the particle-removal requirement.
- Flow rate: Match the bag and housing to the required process flow.
- Viscosity: High-viscosity liquids may require an appropriate high-flow filtration configuration.
- Chemical compatibility: Confirm that the selected media is compatible with the fluid.
- Contaminant loading: Consider the amount and nature of solids entering the filter.
- Bag dimensions: Match the bag dimensions with the existing filter housing.
- Fitting type: Select PP collar, SS ring, snap band, rubber collar or another compatible configuration.
The correct liquid filter bag is determined by the combination of micron rating, filter media, fluid properties, contaminant loading, flow requirement and housing design.
