Lengthen filtration productivity with this add-on unit
The Double Back Wash Filter enhances productivity by making maintenance easier and prolonging the availability of the company’s Larox CC filter. This upgrade involves replacing the old filter with two individual filters in the back wash water line. Instead of…
This vacuum filter has a swing-out base and side discharge
The Simplefilter consists of a heated insulated vessel, with a filtration media that is attached to a heated swing-out base and a side-discharge hatch. The design makes drying efficient and removal of the product less complicated. High containment discharge is…
This dryer also performs other unit operations
The Boono Paddle Dryer is an indirect dryer that can also be used for crystallization, coating, sterilization and calcinations. The wide range of applications makes it suitable for use in the food, pharmaceutical and fine-chemicals industries. The large surface area…
Recover precious-metal catalysts with this depth filter
The new depth filter medium, BecoPad recovers precious metal catalysts from reaction products without losses, so they can be returned to the process. Because very fine catalyst components are also removed, the very high purity of the mineral-free BecoPad and…
A less complicated filtration system
As an alternative to more complex and expensive technologies, the simplefilter is designed for many applications, such as hydrogenation, carbon filtration, catalyst recovery, prefilter for microfiltration and for filtration of APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) and intermediates. The simplefilter consists of…
Determining Packing Height With Accuracy
Equilibrium stage simulations are the nearly universal process design tool for mass transfer columns that contact vapor and liquid in countercurrent flow. Whether the service is absorption, stripping, distillation, fractionation, quench or evaporation, equilibrium stage models make mass and heat…
This RF system speeds filter-cake drying with less energy
Macrowave is a new drying system that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to uniformly heat cake material and rapidly remove water without overheating. The system operates at a frequency of 40.68 MHz and features volumetric heating that provides instantaneous and uniform…
Clarifying Liquid Filtration
There are various reasons that make filtering necessary in processes. The raw materials might have impurities that require removal at the start of the process. After the initial mixing to produce the process slurry, the mother liquor could have…
Reboiler Condensate Drums: Silencing Hydraulic Hammer
Condensate pots are commonly used on the condensing sides of some reboilers, such as those that are heated by steam or refrigerant vapor. These pots provide a liquid seal that prevents uncondensed vapor from blowing out of the reboiler into…
Reduce Costs with ‘Step-down’ Filtration
Among the challenges of effective solid-liquid filtration is the accumulation of solids on the filter surface, which creates an increasingly dense mass that process fluid must push through. In many applications in the chemical process industries (CPI), a step-down filtration…
