Mott, a trusted name in filtration, has been at the forefront of purifying both crude terephthalic acid (CTA) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) for decades, employing cutting-edge HyPulse® LSI and LSM technologies. Mott’s liquid filters, equipped with advanced terephthalic acid filters, can be easily tailored to accommodate multiple wash and purge steps crucial in the CTA and PTA processes, ensuring impeccable product quality. These innovative terephthalic acid filters from Mott not only reduce caustic acid consumption within the CRU but also minimize organic loads in wastewater treatment, while recovering up to 2 wt.% solids from CTA or PTA applications.
In scenarios where corrosion control is paramount, the Mott LSI serves as an intermediate filter, efficiently removing precipitated corrosion metals before downstream processing. The remarkable return on investment (ROI) for a Mott LSI in a CTA or PTA application averages just two years, making it a sound choice for those seeking enhanced efficiency and cost savings with top-notch terephthalic acid filters.
