Selecting the Right Filter for Your Process:
Factors
to Consider
When selecting a filter for a particular application, the
following criteria should be considered:
• How large is the process volume?
What is the flow rate?
• Is it continuous or batch process?
• What are the
material characteristics of the solids being removed? How large are the
particles? Is the material hazardous? Can the material being removed be recycled
back into the process?
• What are the waste disposal costs? How often do bags
or cartridges need to be replaced? Can the waste volume be reduced or eliminated
by switching to a different filtration method?
• What are the labor and
downtime costs for filter or cartridge replacement? Can downtime be replaced or
eliminated by switching to a different filtration method?
Here is your
chance to tap in to a forum of RPA filtration specialist that have decades of
experience. They understand the impact your filtration system can have on your
process, and would like to help guide you in the selection of the right system
for your application and process requirements.
Here is a sample of a few
questions:
1. We have Sweet Gas Pipeline that contain a noticeable amount of
black powder (Iron Oxides and Iron Sulfides) what will be the best filtration
system for it Please note that the line size is 56" dia.
2. I have an
aqueous and a solvent based systems with 5-150 micron pigment particles. What
filtration system do you recommend for a batch(2000 gal)or 33 gal/min continuous
operation.
3. I am looking for an alternative to our current method of
filtration. We are filtering high viscosity materials (50,000 cps) at 15
microns. We are using wire mesh cloth and our of our major problems is blinding
of the mesh. Our runs are short (less that 100 gallons), so I am looking for
small units with minimal dead volume.
RPA Process Technologies owns four
brands that have been in the filtration business for over one-hundred years.
They are Ronningen-Petter, Filtres Philippe, Filtres Vernay, and Malaxeurs
Guittard.
