Latest Parker Hannifin water absorbing filters offer longer life for hydrocarbon fuels

The Racor FW Series Water Absorbing Cartridge incorporate specially developed, super absorbent filter media that effectively and reliably removes both water and micronic contaminants from diesel fuel, gasoline, hydraulic fluids, aviation gas and other hydrocarbons.

The filters work by chemically locking water into the media and holding it in suspension, preventing downstream contamination, even when surfactants or water dispersing fuel additives are mixed in. In particular, the FW filter cartridges will remove water down to less that 5ppm, with each cartridge holding up to four litres of water and up to 196 grams of solids.

Parker Racor FW cartridges are compatible with industry standard filter vessels sized for 5 x 12, 6 x 14, 7 x 18 and 8 x 22 cartridges, and are interchangeable with many industry replacement elements.

Parker Racor also offers water removing spin-on filters in popular industry sizes and micron ratings of 1, 5, 10 and 30. They are compatible with most fuels including diesel blends up to B20, and for use at refineries with process streams, finished product at petrochemical plants, through the petrochemical storage and distribution systems, and at the point of consumption.
