Filtration-system

Industrial separation equipment encapsulates the separation process which is to separate components of a liquid mixture, for recovering dissolved solids from liquids. The choice of a suitable technology depends on the identification of the key physical or chemical property, such as size, mass, density, or boiling point, which sets the product of interest apart from the rest of the components. Separation technology is widely used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries for the isolation of active ingredients and high-purity chemicals. As well as in waste management and recycling industries.

Separation

Industrial drying machines are designed to remove moisture from your product. But the drying process must cater to variations in the state of matter and molecular structure of the input material. Industrial dryer technology exploits the modes of heat transfer (convection, conduction, radiation, evaporative cooling) to control the moisture content.

Processing equipment used in industries regulated by GMP must ensure fully-sterile environments and complete CIP systems. This includes filtration units which should reliably separate solids from liquids while keeping them fully enclosed to avoid environmental contamination or operator contact. A self-cleaning hygienic filtration system is necessary to comply with strict regulatory requirements.
<h2>Separating solids from liquids using a self-cleaning candle filter</h2>
The STERIBAC, from Dr. Mueller, is a fully enclosed hygienic filtration system explicitly designed for industries where GMP must be followed. The system features a fully automated filtration process from filtering of liquids, washing of filter elements, and discharge of solid residues. During filtration, the fluid goes into a pressured chamber where the solids are collected on the outer surface of the filter medium while the filtrate passes through. Then, the filtrate goes into the perforated tubes before going up to a single central tube on the way out of the chamber. The collected solids are washed and dried before subjecting them to a reverse flow gas pressure shock wherein the filter medium expands, and the solids crack and fall to the discharge port.

The system also features patented heel volume filtration, where the unfiltered fluid at the bottom of the chamber is pumped back to the top and sprayed evenly to maximize the recovery of solids and liquids. Another feature is a patented spray washing system that effectively washes the internals of the filter system while using less washing liquid, which saves costs in every washing cycle. There are no mechanical moving parts and agitating devices in the chamber, which helps make CIP a straightforward procedure. The simple modular construction of the filtration elements allows variation in size, volume, and cake thickness in a closed system.

Sterile Filtration System for GMP-grade products

Industrial filtration equipment separates solid matter from liquid by using a filter medium. The filter allows only the fluid to pass through but retains the solid matter. The choice of filtration equipment depends on the particle size, the consistency of the mixture, and the nature of your product.

Filtration

Separating solids from liquids by filtration requires frequent cleaning or replacement of the filter medium during maintenance to keep an optimum volume flow rate and effective separation. By using a self-cleaning filter unit that can effectively remove solids from the filter medium, maintenance is kept to a minimum, and the operating life of the filter is prolonged.


<h2>Dry and remove solids in filter media using rapid counter-current flow and pressure</h2>
The FUNDABAC, from Dr. Mueller, is a self-cleaning filtration system for various industrial applications such as chemicals, minerals, and pharmaceuticals. The system is equipped with a cloverleaf-shaped candle filter element where the solids from the process fluid are collected on the surface of the filter medium and form a cake. The filter element consists of six outer tubes and a central tube. The filtrate goes downwards through the six external tubes before rising through the central tube and out of the filter.

The system has a patented heel volume filtration where the remaining unfiltered fluids at the bottom of the vessel are pumped back to the top. From there, they are sprayed evenly inside the vessel through a nozzle while applying pressure to ensure maximum filtration. The system also features cake washing after filtration, spraying a wash liquid on the filter element.

Cakes around the filter media can be dried by forcing gas through the heel volume filtration until the remaining liquid is displaced. Removing the dried cake can be done by using pressurized gas such as steam or nitrogen in the reverse process flow, or counter-current flow, of filtration. This allows the filter medium to expand and the cakes to crack and fall when the maximum deflection of the filter medium is reached. The cakes can be collected at the bottom flange of the vessel. All these self-cleaning features are done within the closed filter vessel, lessening the chance of contamination.

Industrial cleaning equipment is used to wash or disinfect machinery and the production/warehouse area. It may also be used to sterilize the product, equipment, tools, floor or work surfaces and to purify or clean the product by removing impurities. Choosing a suitable cleaning system depends on the type of product or equipment to be cleaned, the sensitivity of the product to heat, pressure, and chemicals, and the level of sterility desired.

Glycerol or glycerin is the major by-product generated in the biodiesel production process. But the disposal of glycerin or various other by-products coming from biodiesel production process pose a big challenge to industrial plants, as they can’t be disposed into the environment.


<h2>Distilling and refining glycerin while minimizing the environmental impact</h2>
Glycerin production plant designed by Andreotti Impianti produces technical and pharmaceutical glycerin from a wide range of natural feedstocks. Glycerin can be produced from different by-products coming from three industrial processes: methylesters production, fats saponification and fat splitting. The production steps change depending on the starting by-product.

For by-products such as sweet water (splitting) and spent lyes (saponification), the process path involves chemical treatment, concentration and glycerin distillation and refining. Hydrochloric acid is added in the treatment unit to reduce the solubility of fatty acids, which are then separated. Before moving on distillation process, only one filtration is carried out for sweet water, while for spent lyes, filtration is done twice, before and after the neutralization. Crude glycerin is further processed in the distillation, deodorizing and bleaching plant. The distillation system is composed of several steps: washing, rectification, condensation. In the last purification step, blenching section uses activated carbon to remove color and odor in order to obtain a pure glycerin.

It is worth mentioning that crude glycerin coming from biodiesel (methylesters) production can be sent directly to the distillation process without any further treatments, thus avoiding dilution, purification, and concentration steps.

Since one of the biggest problems caused by industrial plants today is the disposal of by-products, Andreotti Impianti has included in its plants stripping units, which help minimize the environmental impact.

Glycerine manufacturing plant

Purification is the removal of contaminating substances and by-products to increase the level of purity of the desired substance. Considerations for choosing a suitable purification system in the industry, include the physical state of the mixture, the desired product, required level of purity, the type of mixture, heat sensitivity of the product, number of purification steps needed, and the production volume. Industrial purification systems are used for the production of pure water in the food pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

Purification

If you are a small-scale business, the cleaning of moving parts in a traditional filtration system can be both challenging and expensive. When looking for a compact and efficient filtration system with low operational costs, you need to carefully determine an optimal sizing of the filtration process, to avoid oversizing of equipment.


<h2>Save time and maintenance costs with an automated candle filtration system</h2>
Sulphurnet’s self-cleaning candle filter is an automatic filtration process where the flow is directed from outside to the inside. The pressure filters with vertical hanging candles are placed with equal distance between them in a vertical tank. The liquid from the intake valve flows through the filters which allows the suspended particles to be collected on the candles. These particles accumulate to form a cake on the candles. When the required level of purity is attained, the liquid is let out through the outlet valve. During this entire process, the cake formed will remain on the filter media surface. This cake can be cleared out during the backflush cycle, as the filter media expands and changes shape which leads to the cake cracking and dropping.

The Self-cleaning filter for sulphur is equipped with candles that have a very low internal pressure differential which leads to higher flow rates. The Self-cleaning filter for liquids is an ideal solution for environmentally friendly filtration processes. Its high level of automation, reproducibility and the ability to use a wide range of filter media allows it to be used for various production processes  such as sulphur processing, amine treating, chlor-alkali, mining and metallurgy and in industries such as chemical processing and food.

Systems for the filtration of liquids with suspended solid contents can be challenging with corrosion issues and cold spots. They require high maintenance and operational costs. If you are a small-scale company in industries that require sulphur processing, amine treating or need to continuously filter out fine solids, you need a flexible solution and cost-efficient solution which is easy to maintain.


<h2>Low maintenance and flexible filtration system</h2>
Sulphurnet’s Horizontal plate filter is configured for both continuous and batch wise filtration without leaving any solid residue. It is equipped with a scavenger plate which refilters the residue left in the tank at the end of a batch. It also allows complete product recovery by washing or drying the cake.

The Industrial Liquid filtration system is configured with horizontally positioned filter plates with holes. These plates are positioned uniformly in a vertical tank. The plates have varying depths depending on the filtration surface and cake volumes. The fluid to be filtered passes over these horizontal filter plates which can be fitted with different kinds of filter media. The solid particles then collect in the form of a filter cake, which then remains on the filter medium and the polished liquid flows through the filter plates to the filtrate outlet.

The industrial liquid filtration system can be used for numerous batch and continuous filtration processes. It is easy to maintain as it contains no moving parts, the filter cartridges can be quickly removed and replaced with a spare cartridge. Its applications include, removal of activated carbon, filtration of varnishes, paints and resins, removal and recovery of catalysts, purification of chemicals, recovery of precious metals, processing of edible oils, juices, glucose and also in the pharmaceutical industry.

In recent years the removal of sulphur has received increasing attention because of safety concerns, the need to reduce emissions, and because sulphur harms the combustion properties of fuels. A good filtration system begins with high quality filter leaves. If you are in industries such as sulphur processing, mining, or amine treating, you need a reliable and cost-efficient solution for the removal of suspended solid contents.


<h2>Save operational costs with a high-performance leaf filtration system</h2>
Sulphurnet’s DEFS Pressure Leaf Filter consists of three to five layers of wire mesh, mounted on a common manifold pipe. The mesh screen has fine holes to retain the solid particles while letting the liquid through. The solid particles layer on the screen and coat it which then thickens into an intertwined filter cake. Forming a wet or dry cake by first precoating the screen ensures the removal of very fine particles. Its inner layer is made up of a rough mesh for the discharge of the filtrate to support the outer layers. The final filter mesh is mounted on top of these layers. It thus ensures full flow with minimum restriction.

The industrial leaf filter for chemicals has a durable and completely enclosed configuration. It is easy to automate and ensures clean operation, prevention of leaks, corrosion and operating difficulties. It provides a large filtration area for a relatively small vessel with quality filter leaves. It can be used for both primary filtrations involving high solid contents and also polishing filtration with low solids loads. It has high flow rates that requires filtration areas above 120m² but can also be used for smaller applications. Apart from chemicals it can also be used in edible oil refineries, food and beverage industries, pharmaceutical, petrochemical industry, etc.

<h2>A pharmaceutical grade filter system that ensures maximum separation and complete control of filter cake discharge</h2>
The Funda filter system from Mavag is centrifugal filter with features that make it particularly well suited to the pharmaceutical and bioprocess industries. The units are well known and have been used in a wide variety to applications all over the world. Mavag AG's smaller scale and focus on their tradition of Swiss craftsmanship ensuring the impeccable product quality that customers need. The filtration system includes a vessel and a rotating element that forces a liquid to leave its suspended solid particles embedded in the several filter plates it is exposed to as it is forced through the vessel. These features allow for very thorough washing of the filter cake and complete removal of solvent from the filter cake in a completely enclosed process step. Cake can either be discharged as a solid or as slurry depending on the customers’ needs. In either case, the filters can be operated in a continuous or batch type production process. This makes the units extremely valuable to process that require excellent containment and avoidance of cross contamination as are commonly found in the pharmaceutical and bioprocess industries.

<h2>A pharmaceutical grade filter system with maximum separation and complete filter cake removal and drying</h2>
Mavag AG's smaller scale and focus on their tradition of Swiss craftsmanship ensure the impeccable product quality that customers need. The company's Filter Dryer system is an agitated pressure filter with added features that make it particularly well suited to the pharmaceutical and bioprocess industries. The unit consists of a single plate filter that effectively removes solids from the processed mixture and forms a filter cake. The filter caked can be re-suspended in a liquid slurry using the magnetically driven agitator. This allows the filter cake to be discharged without exposing the interior of the system to the surrounding environment—reducing contamination and exposure risk. The unit also includes a heated vessel and agitator, a solvent recovery system, a vacuum generator, and a dust filter. These added features allow for very thorough washing of the filter cake and complete removal of solvent from the filter cake in a completely enclosed process step.  This makes the units extremely valuable to process that require excellent containment and avoidance of cross contamination as are commonly found in the pharmaceutical and bioprocess industries.

Reliable and low maintenance filtration of fluids with high dirt load is essential to many industries. From energy production, to chemicals processing, to production of edible oils, product quality is often dependent on an efficient filtration process.


<h2>A filter cartridge with excellent cake stability and complete product recovery</h2>
Parker Twin Filter’s Horizontal plate scavenger filters use a series of horizontally positioned filter plates in a completely closed vertical tank. The plates contain a filter medium that is tailored to the application. As dirty fluid flows through the medium over the plates toward the tank outlet, solids are left behind in the medium forming filter cake which must be periodically removed. The filter systems can accommodate an 8 bar working pressure with fluid temperatures of 100 C.  Allowable pressure differential across the filter plates is 3.5 bars. The Scavenger line includes a final filter plate that is at the very bottom of the tank, filtering the small amount of fluid that may otherwise accumulate there. This makes the Scavengers especially suited for processing expensive fluids since there is very little waste. The filter units are designed for either batch or continuous filtration processes.

From chemical processing, to energy production, to edible oils production, product quality is often dependent on an efficient and reliable filtration process. High quality filter leaves are the key trouble-free high quality filtration results and these leaves have been known to reliably serve a wide variety of processes for up to 20 years at a time.


<h2>Robust, customizable filter leaves for maximum throughput and service life</h2>
Parker Twin Filter’s filter leaves are constructed of several layers of wire mesh. An inner coarse mesh provides structure and support while finer meshes are mounted on the outside according to the customer’s filtration media requirements. Leaf construction is either bolted or riveted. This arrangement allows for optimum flow of the filtrate for minimum pressure drop and a solidly constructed leaf that will serve for many years. Many options exist for filtration media construction materials allowing the leaves to be tailored to meet any customer requirement. Efficient cake release and chemical compatibility with the customer’s filtrate are also factors that these leaves are designed for.
