Four ways to separate solids from liquids
HyPulse® LSI filters incorporate inside-out filtration, a method and design unique to Mott Corporation. At the end of each filter cycle, solids are backwashed off the inside of the elements and discharged as a concentrated slurry or wet cake.
Distinct LSI benefits include:
Eliminates cake bridging and associated problems
Higher surface area to volume ratio
Allows for cake washing
Minimizes heel
High solids discharge capability
Ideal for recovery of carbon-based precious metal catalysts, activated carbon, organic salts, FCC catalyst from slurry oil, and pre-coat filtration applications
Rapid turnaround between cycles keeps filter on-line
Offers ultimate particle retention, backwashability, solids capacity and strength
Can be used in conjunction with filter aids for difficult filtration applications
Other unique Mott alternatives, HyPulse® LSM filters place inside-out filtration within a double open-ended design. High-density solids are allowed to settle directly into the discharge hopper. LSM filters may be operated on a filter/backwash cycle schedule, or can be used as concentrators in a recirculating system.
Feed can be introduced at top of the filter
Allows longer cycles
Keeps high-density solids from clogging elements
Achieves higher solids concentration
Can be used as a cross-flow concentrator or a continuous-loop reactor filter
Incorporates efficiencies of inside-out filtration
Ideal for Raney nickel catalyst recovery, and for steady-state continuous operation in critical process applications
