Catalyst Recovery System Manufacturer
Filtration and recovery of expensive noble metal catalysts pose significant challenges in the pharmaceutical and chemical process industries. Due to their high reactivity and cost, specialized catalyst recovery filter systems are necessary to minimize atmospheric contact and reduce losses from spillages. Some of these catalysts are also pyrophoric, which means that they can catch fire when dried. Thus, a non-contact system to recover these catalysts from the process stream is a safe and efficient one.

At Kumar Process, we have pioneered unique designs for catalyst recovery filters, with over 100 successful installations in the past decade. Our process involves rigorous analysis of reaction mass samples using automatic machines to study catalyst properties. We conduct lab and pilot-scale trials to test filterability and catalyst recovery procedures. Our in-house test facilities and expertise contribute to the development of highly customized catalyst filtration systems.
Salient features of our Catalyst filtration Systems are:
Our catalyst filter systems feature cleanable SS316 L filter media, offering exceptional durability and cost savings. With zero recurring costs, our filters can be cleaned and reused for a number of years, providing sustainable and efficient catalyst filtration solutions.
With our catalyst recovery filter systems, initial recirculation is unnecessary. Our systems provide clear filtrate through single-pass filtration, saving time and energy while ensuring efficient catalyst recovery.
Our catalyst filter systems enable the total recovery of expensive noble metal catalysts. Featuring closed systems, our filters can be cleaned in-situ, eliminating the risk of spillages. This results in substantial annual savings, as spillages are minimized to nearly zero.
With our catalyst recovery filter systems, residual ML/washing solvent can be removed without the need to open the filter assembly. This unique arrangement, integrated within the catalyst filter system, contributes to increasing product yield by efficiently eliminating residual materials.
Our catalyst recovery system can be used repeatedly without opening, by online back flushing, thereby reducing downtime.
It's time to switch from conventional sparkler filters and bag filters to our advanced catalyst recovery filters for your catalyst recovery applications. Contact us now to explore the superior alternative.

Catalyst Recovery Filter Working Procedure
The catalyst recovery filter system operates as follows: Contaminated fluid enters through the Inlet Connection and passes through the filter element, facilitating catalyst filtration from the outside to the inside direction. Contaminants of specified micron size are trapped on the outer surface of the filter element, while clean fluid flows through the inner core and exits via the Outlet Connection.
As suspended particles and catalysts accumulate on the outer surface over time, the pressure drop gradually increases. Upon detecting a preset differential pressure, the system triggers a signal to the control panel via a pressure switch. Subsequently, the drain valve and back purging mechanism are activated to clean the filter element. Various back purging media, such as compressed air, nitrogen, gas, solvents, or steam, can be employed based on the application requirements.
Following the cleaning cycle, fine catalyst particles are either collected through the bottom drain valve or discharged directly into the reaction vessel for subsequent operation cycles.
Catalyst Recovery Filter Construction
The catalyst filter is typically constructed with durable materials such as stainless steel grade SS316 to withstand harsh operating conditions.. The filter assembly is engineered to ensure proper flow dynamics, maximizing filtration efficiency and minimizing pressure drop. Additionally, the construction of the catalyst filter incorporates features for easy maintenance and cleaning, enabling prolonged use and reliable catalyst recovery filter.
