Liquid Process Systems hopes to have the whole package with its Vector Series Model VB10C Thermal Fluid Filtration System, a heat transfer fluid filtration system specifically developed for the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic packaging industry This is designed to keep thermal fluids or hot oil clean for higher heat transfer and plant efficiency, longer fluid life and minimum maintenance downtime. System flow and pressure available from the plant process is used to re-circulate fluid or hot from the pump discharge through the filter. Clean fluid is then returned to the suction side of the pump.
