Suggest you contact the engr. at your plant whose responsibility includes wastewater, etc. OR the 'chem lab techs' ... or even your PA.
In-line 'capsule' filters are very common but bear the added cost of the integral 'housing'.
You can buy a standard industrial polypropylene filter housing, configured for 'flat gasket' cartridge sealing for 10" or 9.75'Ø length filter cartridges at Home Depot or Lowes for $60-$80
As for µM retention, especially dealing with commercial or 'coarse' industrial grade filters, beware that there is a lot of 'filter jargon' with respect to µM 'ratings'. In the 1 - 30µM range, 'cheapies' will be in the order of ≤70% retention efficiency at the 'rating', upwards to 97% reduction/retention for the 'fine' grades ... cost varies vs. retention efficiency. If you somehow need 99.99% retention, then divide the 97%µM retention by ~3. .... or consult the manufacturers BETA-RATIO curve.
Manufacturers for 'ethical' industrial usage: Pall, Filterite, GE water / Cuno, Osmonics, Parker Advanced Filtration, Meissner .... but choose their "process" division products for your selection, as you dont need 'Pharmaceutical nor Ultra-pure chemical grades' for a 'very coarse' water filter.
Polypropylene (spun-bonded / melt-blown) filter media will be the most efficacious.
Your 'filter engineering geek' at your plant should be able to get you 'evaluation samples'.
