904L filter nozzle for methyl ethyl ketone

904L filter nozzles are important in the methyl ethyl ketone production process. The filter nozzles are installed on the catalyst bed, used in the SBA hydration process.

The 904L filter nozzle is a critical component in the MEK filtration system, responsible for distributing the fluid evenly across the filter media, ensuring efficient separation of contaminants.  Email: sales@ubowedgewire.com

Methyl Ethyl Ketone(MEK) 

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is a highly versatile solvent used in various industries, including coatings, adhesives, and inks. Its effectiveness as a solvent is due to its excellent solvency properties, quick evaporation rate, and ability to dissolve a wide range of substances. 

MEK is highly flammable and chemically aggressive. Therefore, strong and corrosion-resistant materials must be used in the filtration system. This is where the 904L filter nozzle comes into play.

Why 904L Stainless Steel?

904L stainless steel is a super austenitic stainless steel known for its high nickel (24-26%) and chromium (19-23%) content, along with the addition of molybdenum (4-5%) and copper (1-2%). This unique composition gives 904L superior corrosion resistance, ideal for harsh chemical environments.

Benefits of 904L Filter Nozzles in Methyl Ethyl Ketone Filteration

1. Corrosion Resistance: MEK can be highly corrosive, especially in the presence of contaminants or impurities. 904L stainless steel offers exceptional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, ensuring the longevity of the filter nozzle.

2. High Durability: The robustness of 904L stainless steel can withstand the mechanical stresses associated with high-pressure filtration processes, reducing the risk of failure and downtime.

3. Temperature Tolerance: MEK processes often involve elevated temperatures. 904L can maintain its structural integrity and performance under such conditions, making it a reliable choice for filtration systems.

4. Non-reactivity: The chemical inertness of 904L ensures no unwanted reactions between the filter nozzle and the solvent, maintaining the purity of the filtered MEK.
