Developed over the last three years, Drynetics is a concept for using computer simulations to optimize a spray drying plant (photo). The model is put into the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of full-scale spray dryers, and incorporates the know-how…
This firm has modified its spiral-wound membrane elements in a way that enables reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plants to operate at pressures of up to 120 bars — considerably higher than the 80 bars used in conventionally driven, high-pressure RO…
The Pista Turbo grit washer contains new technology that can achieves grit retention of 95% down to 140 mesh particle size. It can produce drier and cleaner grit with less putrescible organic material. The new technology, called Tri-cleanse, features intense…
E. Begerow Mineral-free and made of high-purity cellulose, the new Becopad depth-filter medium (photo) offers very high filtration performance, high chemical resistance and strength, and minimum ion release. The range of applications includes haze reduction for fine chemical products, catalyst…
The 16-in. Filmtec Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtration membranes offer an active surface area of 1,725 ft 2 — a four-fold increase in active surface area compared to the 8-in. RO elements currently in use. With this dramatic increase in active…
The Carbflex OAC-20BB Oil Absorbing Filter Cartridge (photo) is an efficient, high-capacity solution for reducing hydrocarbon contamination and other pollutants. The OAC-20BB filter cartridge is constructed from modified cellulose-based filter media for exceptional absorption, delivering high flowrates and low pressure…
The Pressure Drum Filter (photo) consists of a fully opening pressure vessel with a fixed bumped boiler end on the drive side and a moveable cylindrical housing on the opposite side. Both parts are locked pressure tight by a snap…
One feature of the Heinen fluidized-bed (FB) systems is the high-performance filter cartridges integrated in the dryer’s hood (photo), separating and recycling the fine dust particles that are produced during the process. No material is lost with the exhaust air,…
FlowTex is a high-performance tertiary filter that removes suspended solids as small as 10 microns, and is suitable for both small- and large-flow applications. The patented design incorporates a fixed disc with a rotating suction head that never touches the…
Spiroflow Systems Next month at Pack Expo 2010 (Chigago, Ill., October 31–November 3), this firm will exhibit one of its latest Bulk Bag Fillers (photo) with new features that increase the number of bags that can be filled per hour…
