Filtration Plant

A filter press is one of the oldest and most trusted pieces of dewatering equipment. It’s used for wastewater treatment across a variety of industries and applications. A filter press works by separating out solids from liquids, removing impurities, and suspended solids from industrial wastewater. This allows plant managers to easily handle and dispose of waste while returning clean water to their systems. 

Filter presses separate liquids and solids. Specifically, the filter press separates the liquids and solids using pressure filtration across a filter media. Afterward, the slurry is pumped into the filter press and then dewaters under pressure. What are the Four Main Components of a Filter Press?

• Frame
• Filter Plates
• Manifold (piping and valves)
• Filter Cloth (This is key for optimizing filter press operations.

Basically, the filter press design is based on the dewatering volume and type of slurry. ChemREADY is an expert in liquid and solid separation and offers a wide range of filter press types and capacities to suit specific application needs for trouble-free, economical dewatering.

Duplex strainer or twin basket strainer is a type of filter built into a fuel, oil or water piping system and it is used to remove large particles of dirt and debris. The duplex strainer system usually consists of two separate strainer baskets housings. The system also contains a valve handle placed between the two baskets to divert the flow of liquid to one strainer while the other is being cleaned. On some strainers, the valve will work automatically and the strainer will perform a self-cleaning operation.

These types of strainers are installed in pipeline systems where flow cannot be stopped. Depending upon their NB size they are capable of filtration up to 40 µm. Basket Strainers find use in industries where impurities are mostly solids. Unlike other types of strainers, it is easy to conduct maintenance on these strainers.

Duplex strainers are mainly used in various industries such as process industry, power industry, chemical industry, oil and gas industry, pulp and paper industry, pharmaceutical industry, metals and mining industry, water and waste management, fire fighting industry, refineries and petrochemical plants. Strainers are used to remove hazardous elements that might cause partial or complete breakdown of operations if they get into the system.

Micron Filtration is a type of physical filtration process where a contaminated fluid is passed through a special pore-sized cartridge to separate suspended particles from process liquid. It is also used in conjunction with various other separation processes such as ultra filtration and reverse osmosis to provide a product stream which is free of undesired contaminants. The filters are offered in stainless/carbon steel construction compatible to standard cartridges of different micron ratings.

Out of all filter media, sand, and carbon filters are widely used for water filtration and desalination. They both work to remove harmful particles from water, even though they function differently. The sand filter's fine pores allow water to pass through and trap dirt particles slowly

Stainless steel water filter cartridges typically contain four filter types: stainless steel mesh filter cartridge, sintered mesh filter cartridge, sintered powder filter cartridge, and wedge wire filter cartridge. These types take the respective advantages in terms of high filtration precision, superb structural strength, ease of cleaning, etc.

• Cleanable and reusable for long-lasting time
• Extended service life for overall costs reduction
• High porosity and permeability for efficient filtration
• Excellent mechanical properties and thermal conductivity
• Resistant to high temperature and corrosive environment

Stainless steel water filter cartridge is a perfect solution from pharmacy to beer industries with good compatibility of high temperature and corrosion. Plus, you can use with a single filter cartridge or multiple filter cartridges together according to your specific application.

Benefits from the wide range of selectable accuracy down to 0.5μm, You may use stainless steel water filter cartridge in fine filtration, medium filtration, or pre-filtration. If you require a larger pore size of stainless steel water filter cartridge, just send us your target dimension to know the feasibility.
