Chemicals - Case Study

Challenge

Long cake washing times and unsatisfactory results have a negative effect on the profitability of pigment production.

Solution

• Development of membrane filter elements with customer-specific product design
• Targeted redesign and optimisation of filtration surfaces
• Modification of the filling channels and channel design in order to regulate the flow speed
• Configuration of filter elements with exchangeable membranes

Advantages

• Avoidance of crack formation and short-circuits in the cake during cake washing
• Excellent results through extensive, even washing of the cake
• Energy savings through increased dry solids content
• Distinct improvement of efficiency through reduction of all production and cycle times
• High process stability through exchangeable membranes
