Mott food oil intermediate filters excel at removing catalyst, bleaching agents, solidified product, and other solid contaminants from a variety of alcohol, acid, or oil-based processes. Whether it’s palladium-on-carbon catalyst from a hydrogenated oil stream or bleaching agents from edible oil or detergent precursors, the Mott LSI filter is ideal for automated, closed-loop operation with clean-in-place backwashing for food oil intermediate filtering needs. Generally done without the need for additional filter aids, the Mott LSI can filter streams with catalyst less than 1 micron in size and with solids loading up to 5+ wt.%. The backwash system for these food oil intermediate filters can be designed to discharge between an approximate 15 wt.% slurry to an approximate 50 wt.% wet cake, providing efficient and effective filtration for intermediate stages in food and oil processing.
