This firm is working closely with many biofuel-industry leaders to help optimize their filtration needs. Whether the feedstock is wood chips, grass clippings, corn stover, rice straw or other biowaste material, each process has its own unique challenges. Each biofuel process or variation within the same process changes the filtration characteristics of the slurry due to variations in the feedstock, pretreatment used, feed particle size, particle size reduction due to shear pumps, residence time prior to filtration, solids content in the slurry, slurry temperature and amount of washing required. The Pressure Filter (PF), for example, is suitable for maximum recovery of valuable sugars and dry solids, whereas the Gas Tight options with the RT/GT and the DS Filter are well suited for solvent applications.
