FG-36: Classic Fiberglass PECO Replacement Natural Gas Filter Element

Product Overview

The FG-36 is a 36-inch gas filter-separator cartridge designed for natural gas, manufactured gas, and other non-corrosive gases including nitrogen, carbon dioxide, propane, and butane. FG Series elements are widely installed in gas gathering stations, compressor stations, distribution stations, and terminal facilities.

LEFILTER's replacement element matches the performance of the original PECO FG-36 cartridge, offering excellent versatility and cost-effectiveness with shorter lead times and reliable global delivery.

Filtration Media Technology

The FG-36 utilizes high-performance glass fiber media with the following key features:

• Gradient density structure: Micro-pores are smaller on the inner layer and larger on the outer layer, increasing flow volume and contaminant loading capacity while resisting blockage

• Low filtration resistance: Optimized fiber diameter and spacing ensure minimal pressure drop

• High contaminant holding capacity: Extended service life with reduced replacement frequency

• Excellent chemical compatibility: Glass fiber media withstands a wide range of gas stream chemistries

Applications

The FG-36 replacement filter element is ideal for:

• Natural gas transmission pipelines: Remove pipe scale, rust, and welding slag

• Compressor station suction: Protect compressor valves from abrasive contaminants

• City gate stations: Ensure gas quality before distribution

• Gas processing plants: Remove dust and particulates

• Custody transfer metering: Prevent meter damage

• Gas turbine fuel systems: Protect turbine blades

FAQ

Q1: What is the FG-36 used for?
A: The FG-36 is a natural gas filter-separator cartridge used for gas-liquid and liquid-solid separation. It removes solid particles (pipe scale, rust, dust) and liquid aerosols from natural gas streams to protect downstream equipment.

Q2: What filtration accuracy options are available?
A: We offer options from 0.3μm to 10μm and above. For applications with precision equipment, 5μm or 10μm is recommended. For filtering fine particles, 0.3μm or 0.5μm is suggested.

Q3: When should the FG-36 be replaced?
A: Replace when the pressure differential reaches 0.1 MPa (recommended changeout). The maximum allowable pressure drop is 1 MPa. Typical service intervals depend on gas quality and contaminant load.

Q4: What sealing options are available?
A: We offer NBR (Buna-N) as standard, with Viton (FKM) available for higher temperature and chemical resistance requirements.
