Catalyst Recovery Filter Manufacturer
Catalyst filtration is most important in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, where expensive noble metal catalysts are widely used. These catalysts are more expensive & extremely reactive; to prevent explosion in air, specialized catalyst recovery filters are used. These filters capture most aggressive chemical substances effectively.
In order to recover catalysts from process fluids, we offer high-performance catalyst recovery filters. We manufacture filters in customized designs to meet the specific needs of your industrial applications. By using advanced machinery & quality testing methods, we deliver the final products with the best quality at affordable prices.
Working Principle of Catalyst Filtration
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.
What are the benefits of catalyst filtration?
The process of catalyst filtration helps to recover highly reactive catalysts to prevent the loss of materials during industrial applications.
What types of filters are used for catalyst filtration?
These filtration systems mainly use special filter media like mesh filters & membrane filters to capture the particles to provide purified liquid or gas to pass through.
Which steps are needed to maintain catalyst recovery filters?
Replacing or repairing filter media by following routine cleaning & inspection checks to perform recovery of catalysts properly.
Why is catalyst filtration important in industrial processes?
Catalyst filters are used to prevent the loss of valuable materials to maintain the efficiency of chemical processes. This led to improved product quality, reduced downtime & saved operational costs.
How do catalyst filters work?
Catalytic filters capture catalyst particles in their filter media, allowing the purified filtration solution to flow through while retaining the catalyst for reuse and recovery.
