CHEMICAL PROCESSING
The chemical processing industry faces a wide range of purification challenges. These problems include feedstock quality improvement, re-cycle of costly ingredients, by-product quality up-grade, final product quality improvement and recovery of precious metal catalysts.

Ecosorb products are used to remove organic and inorganic impurities from chemical process streams to improve overall process economics. Common applications include removing contaminants from feedstock solutions and brines, maximizing precious metal recovery for recycle, meeting critical specifications and improving final product quality, minimizing process excursions, and purifying streams for recycle.

Consler brand filters are used extensively throughout the Chemical and Petrochemical Processing industries. In the petroleum refining markets Consler brand filters are used in liquid and gas applications for both particulate retention and air / gas coalescing. In Plastics manufacturing plants our products are used for air intake, compressed gasses, pneumatic air, guard filters, and nitrogen blanket filters. In the harsh environment of nitric acid and ammonium nitrate production, Consler brand filters set the industry standard for precious metal catalyst recovery in both the hot gas phase and liquid phase of production.

Powerguard filter products offers contamination control solutions for general chemical applications such as inks, dyes, coatings, plating and petrochemicals to the more complex and critical applications of microlithography, CMP slurries, DI water and high purity chemicals. Utilizing an array of media types and ratings, filtration efficiency and capacity are optimized to provide reduced defects, high yields and maximum economy.

Consler brand filters are the solution when dirt loading and flow rates make standard filter cartridges ineffective. Consler brand filters are an oversize design with large diameter radial fin filter elements. The radial fin design reduces the number of sealing surfaces, minimizes the number of cartridges in a housing, and often reduces the overall size of the filter housing required. All this, while at the same time increasing dirt holding capacities.

Filtration Engineering brand filters keep pneumatic conveying systems working smoothly with self cleaning PulseJet™ systems. And the FE® line of mist eliminators keep the exhaust from vacuum pumps oil free.

Scepter crossflow membranes and modules are uniquely constructed of 316L stainless steel and ceramics. There are no other materials of construction. Capture of sub-micron particles can often improve yields over centrifuge and vacuum filter unit operations. The membrane modules are designed and fabricated to the ASME pressure vessel code. Resembling shell and tube HXs, single modules can have membrane areas as great as 8000 ft2 (800 m2). This greatly simplifies and reduces system costs and space requirements. Can be designed for extremes in temperature and pressure that would easily destroy other membranes. Also available in high nickel alloys.
