Poor filtration of chemicals quickly snowballs into production problems down the stream. If not properly filtered, materials can develop sub-products that degrade the quality of the final chemical. Chemical filtration equipment isolates and purifies the compounds from undesired particulate or pollutants. Technologies apply various filtering techniques such as pressing, vacuum, or pressure leaf to refine the final product into a high-grade chemical.

Separate solid impurities from chemicals with a filter press


One of the earliest liquid-solid separation technologies was the filter press. The filtration technique is especially suitable for removing solid particulates and emulsions from chemical solutions.

A press is divided into chambers enclosed by filtration cloths. The pump distributes the feed slurry evenly and applies pressure to push the solids against the cloths, discharging the filtrate at the bottom of the machine. The solids build up into a dewatered cake and can be removed from the plates. The filter cloths are cleaned in a dedicated washer and ready for the next cycle.

Filter semi-solid chemicals with pressure leaf equipment

Slurries such as organic salts, pectin, or liquid sulfur are turned into solids before further processing. Pressure leaf filters separate the impurities and form the material into a cake. The liquid or semi-liquid is pumped into a vessel lined with a series of filters of varying mesh sizes. The impurities are let through, leaving behind a purified substance. In case of hazardous chemicals, the filtration technology sluices the material off the leaves by spraying water and pumping out the discharge. The filtration equipment can be configured either vertically or horizontally.

Achieve higher filtration rates with batch centrifugal systems


Sensitive products such as pharmaceutical ingredients or cell cultures demand ultrafiltration methods. Centrifuge technology can achieve such a level of fineness, but this category of chemical filtration equipment covers a broad range.

Traditional batch systems are based on the peeler method, with a basket holding the solids rotating in a closed unit. A newer technique known as the siphon peeler applies vacuum pressure through a siphon chamber to increase the rate of filtration.

Sliding discharge equipment allows continuous chemical filtering

Centrifugal equipment for chemical filtration can also be adapted for continuous processing. A primary technology in this application is the sliding discharge. There are several variants of this method, but they all have a conical basket that moves the filtrate outwards into the discharge. Sliding discharge centrifuges are designed according to the fiction angle of the specific product, so they cannot be used to filter multiple chemicals.

Use a belt filter press for large capacities


Processing high volumes of chemicals put a heavy burden on filtration equipment. The belt filter press is a family of industrial technologies designed for excess capacities.

The material is pressed against two filter cloths driven by a system of rollers. The pressure on the feed squeezes the filtrate out into the discharge unit. The solids are moved into the collection bin as the belts roll on.
