Most filters are pressure vessels. Access to the internal parts requires opening the filter system. Standard filters are executed with bolted closures and opening and closing these covers is a time-consuming exercise, special for the larger filter vessels. However, when urgencies arrive, operators need quick access to the filter internals to solve the problem and...Continue Reading

In every industrial filtration process instrumentation is used to monitor the progress of the filtration cycle. During the filtration process the cake with impurities is slowly building up on the filter elements resulting in a pressure drop across the filter that increases when the filtration progresses. It is possible to measure this increasing pressure drop...Continue Reading

Process optimization with Self-Cleaning Candle Filters With a producer of Crop Protection chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides, we worked out a filtration process optimisation. When they were investigating the plant downtime they found the filtration played an important role. The solution was the installation of two Self-Cleaning Candle Filters, resulting in a reduction of...Continue Reading

A distinction is made between natural and synthetic resins. Natural resins are tree secretions that, unlike gum resins, can only be dissolved in organic solvents such as turpentine oil. Synthetic resins are mainly used today in the industrial sector. In industry, they serve as a reactive intermediate for the production of thermosetting plastics and are...Continue Reading
