Cartridge filter housing BRAD® 600

for hydrocarbonsfor oilsteel

Overview
The BRAD® 600 is a mechanical protective enclosure designed to reduce the risk of accidental impacts to PETRO-PIPE® SPI filter cartridges and pre-filters. It protects the elements, preserves sealing and hydraulic performance, and enhances safety during operation and maintenance around transformers, retention basins, photovoltaic skids and BESS.

Description of the BRAD® 600

• Galvanized zinc-coated steel (Z275): engineered for outdoor use and long-lasting resistance to environmental conditions.
• Laser-cut and folded manufacturing: process ensuring a precise, robust structure adapted to on-site constraints.
• Exclusive SANERGRID® design: screw-free, weld-free, adhesive-free design without moving parts, facilitating installation and mechanical integrity.
• Structure providing resistance to lateral, vertical and transverse loads, accidental impacts and high-wind constraints.
• Fast, universal installation without modification to the retention basin, concrete pit or photovoltaic skid.
• Designed not to alter the hydraulic behavior of the filtration system and to help limit direct UV exposure of filter cartridges.

Application areas

• Protection of filtration kits on transformer retention basins (dielectric oil or other hydrocarbons).
• Photovoltaic installations and PETRO-PIPE® filtration skids.
• BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) and concrete pits requiring mechanical protection of filters.

Functions and benefits

• Reduces risk of breakage of the PVC threaded heads of filter cartridges and pre-filters.
• Maintains filtration system sealing.
• Preserves hydraulic performance of the filtration device.
• Secures maintenance operations and frequent passages around filtration equipment.

Installation

• Slightly spread the edges of the enclosure to allow insertion over the filtration kit.
• Position BRAD® between the elbow and the pre-filter; it holds in place on the kit.
• Can be installed on new systems equipped with PETRO-PIPE® SPI filters or retrofitted on existing installations without modification of the basin.

Maintenance

• Low maintenance; periodic visual inspection recommended.

Accessories and options

• The BRAD® range is available according to the type of cartridges to be protected (e.g. references adapted to PETRO-PIT® and PETRO-PIPE® ranges).
• Example references: BRAD 400 (for PETRO-PIT®) and BRAD 600 (for PETRO-PIPE®).
• Custom manufacturing possible (BRAD SP) for enclosures adapted to specific configurations.
