Diesel Fuel
Particulate filtration, water separation and polishing for stored diesel, transfer skids and heavy equipment fueling systems.
Multiple LiquidsDiesel, petroleum products, lubricants, chemicals, water, glycol and process liquids.
Custom HousingsConfigured around cartridge, bag, basket, coalescer or specialty media.
Material ReviewBody, gasket, seal and coating selections matched to the liquid.
Soporte de proyectosDrawings, data sheets, documentation and spare elements can be supplied.
Filtration beyond aviation fuel.
Industrial liquids pick up contamination during storage, transfer, recirculation and process use. Lemico filter vessels help remove solids, water, sludge and unwanted debris before they damage pumps, meters, valves, nozzles or downstream process equipment.
Built around the liquid.
Every filtration package starts with the fluid: viscosity, temperature, pressure, compatibility, contaminant type, flow rate, cleanliness target and maintenance access.
Supported Liquids
Filtration vessels can be reviewed for fuel handling, process fluid handling and industrial utility systems.
Petroleum Productos
Filtration for gasoline, kerosene, light oils, fuel oils and petroleum transfer applications where compatibility allows.
Lubricants & Hydraulic Oils
Contamination control for lube oil, hydraulic oil and equipment service fluids.
Chemicals
Custom vessel material, seal and gasket review for chemical transfer and process filtration applications.
Water & Glycol
Filtration support for water, glycol, cooling loops, utility systems and process support fluids.
Specialty Liquids
Review options for resins, coatings, additives, food-grade compatible liquids and other industrial fluids.
Filtration Methods
The vessel style and media are selected around the contaminant and the maintenance approach.
Bag Filter Vessels
Cost-effective filtration for higher dirt loading, process fluids and industrial liquid transfer.
Cartridge Filter Housings
Fine particulate filtration where tighter cleanliness targets or compact housing layouts are required.
Strainers & Baskets
Large-screen straining for pump protection, meter protection and coarse debris removal.
Coalescers
Water separation support for hydrocarbon liquids where free or emulsified water is a concern.
Clay & Treatment Housings
Specialty treatment housings for removing color bodies, surfactants, additives or process contaminants where required.
Multi-Stage Packages
Skid-mounted systems combining strainers, filters, coalescers, pumps, meters and controls.
Filter Media & Element Selection
Correct element selection is what makes a filtration vessel work: media area, micron rating, dirt capacity and fluid compatibility all matter.
Pleated Media
High-surface-area pleated elements can provide efficient solids removal, long service life and low initial pressure drop in clean transfer and process applications.
Depth Media
Depth-style media can hold fine, slimy or sludge-type solids through a thicker tortuous flow path, making it useful for difficult process streams.
Coreless Elements
Coreless cartridge options can reduce disposal volume and simplify changeout where the housing design supports them.
Coalescer & Separator Elements
Two-stage coalescing and separation can be used where water droplets must be gathered, enlarged and separated from hydrocarbon liquids.
Absorptive Media
Water-absorbing elements can be reviewed for small systems where positive water shutdown or water capture is preferred over coalescing.
Clay & Carbon Media
Clay or carbon treatment media can be reviewed for surfactants, color bodies, additives or specialty polishing duties.
What Drives Filtration Cost?
The lowest-cost filter is rarely just the lowest-cost vessel. Total cost depends on service life, maintenance time and downtime.
Media Cost
Element price matters, but it should be weighed against dirt-holding capacity and replacement frequency.
Service Parts
Gaskets, seals, hardware and replacement parts should be considered when comparing housing styles.
Maintenance Labour
Easy-access closures, lifting space and clean element removal reduce labour and service time.
Downtime
Production or fueling downtime can outweigh component cost, especially on high-flow transfer and critical process systems.
Solids Removed
A practical comparison is cost per amount of contaminant removed, not just first purchase cost.
Product Quality
Where product quality is critical, filter performance and consistency matter more than the lowest initial cost.
Common Applications
Industrial filtration protects equipment, improves product quality and reduces unplanned maintenance.
Bulk Storage
Tank recirculation, polishing and transfer filtration for stored fuels and industrial fluids.
Loading & Unloading
Filtration before or after truck, railcar, tote or process transfer points.
Pump Protection
Coarse straining and filtration upstream of pumps, meters, valves and nozzles.
Process Filtration
Bag or cartridge housings for production lines, utilities, cooling loops and process support systems.
Fuel Polishing
Recirculating filtration packages for diesel, fuel oil and petroleum storage systems.
OEM Packages
Custom filter housings and skids for equipment builders and packaged-system manufacturers.
Hydraulic & Lube Oil
Filtration for hydraulic oils, lubricating oils, rolling oils, base oils and equipment service fluids.
Paints, Resins & Waxes
Filtration can help protect product appearance, downstream equipment and production consistency.
Coolants & Cutting Fluids
Filtration for machine coolants, grinding fluids, EDM fluids and industrial recirculating fluids.
Configuration Details
Each vessel is reviewed around the installation, the fluid and the service expectations.
Materials
Carbon steel, stainless steel, coatings, seals and gaskets are selected based on liquid compatibility and project requirements.
Flow & Pressure
Housing size, nozzle size, pressure rating and pressure drop are reviewed against system operating conditions.
Element Selection
Bag, cartridge, basket, coalescer, separator or specialty media options can be reviewed.
Service Access
Closure style, basket removal, cartridge changeout space and lifting access are considered early.
Instrumentation
Differential pressure gauges, vents, drains, sample points and sight glass options can be included.
Documentation
Drawings, datasheets, material records, calculations and QC data books can be supplied for project review.
How Lemico Selects a Filtration Package

2
Identify Contaminant
Define solids, water, sludge, color, surfactant, biological growth or process debris concerns.
3
Size the Vessel
Match flow rate, pressure rating, filtration media, connections and maintenance access.
4
Support Delivery
Provide drawings, documentation, spare elements and project coordination.
