The Mott Solution
When lives depend on clean, breathable air, there’s no room for contamination.
That’s why Mott’s Life Support Filters are engineered to protect critical life support systems – eliminating particles and moisture before they can compromise performance or safety.
Built with proprietary porous metal media, these filters withstand vibration, pressure swings, and corrosive gases. Each unit is laser-welded and cleaned to meet aerospace life-support standards:
- Sub-micron particle removal for oxygen and breathing gas purity
- Consistent flow performance under variable load and temperature
- Re-usable, cleanable construction extending system life
- No outgassing or fiber shedding — stable under long-duration missions

FAQs
Q: What contaminants can filters remove?
A: Filters are engineered to remove moisture, hydrocarbons, particulates (down to submicron), and trace impurities to parts-per-trillion levels.
Q: Can the filters be regenerated?
A: Yes — these filters are designed for multiple regeneration cycles (refer to spec sheet for cycle life).
Q: What are the typical pressure drop values?
A: As per spec, ΔP ranges from ~0.2 psi at lower flow up to ~1 psi at higher flow settings. See performance curves for details.
Q: Are these filters certified for medical / aerospace use?
A: Yes — they are built from materials with low outgassing, and can be qualified under applicable industry standards (please contact Mott for qualification documentation).
Q: How do I integrate filters into my gas delivery system?
A: They are designed to be installed upstream of point-of-use gas interfaces, with standard fittings, and can be incorporated in modular skid or loop designs.
