Use this filter system to remove fines

This company’s candle-filter technology can be used for removing catalyst and other fines from liquids. The filter systems, which can include candle filters, carbon absorption and polishing filters, as well as pressure-plate filters, result in 0.5 µm clarity in recirculation…

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 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…

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 agitator design improves performance of Nutsche filtration

Good agitated Nutsche filter dryer performance relies heavily on the agitator design. The design of this companys agitator has a series of sharp curved blades with spaces at different centers of each arm. When moving or lifting filter cake product…
