Ultra-filtration system

Our ultrasonic technology offers new design flexibility and adaptability to most any size inline filtration system for micron or submicron materials dispersed in a liquid.

Ultrasonic Filtration Advantages: Significant increase in flow rates. Cleaner filter element Ultrasonic acoustic effects actively reduce surface tension, cohesive forces, and/or adhesive forces. Allows in-process self-cleaning of the filter for continuous processing. Greatly improves reverse flow filter cleaning and deblinding.

Example Applications: Micron and submicron materials dispersed in liquids Metal powder slurry Ceramic slurry Biotech and Pharmaceutical products Water and wastewater processing

New Technology Offers Adaptability: Clamp-on systems adapt easily to existing housing designs and can be readily retrofitted. Suitable for all filter types: Sintered Metal Filters, Membrane, Ceramic, etc.

Pressure vessel (supercritical CO₂)

When the cleaning medium is supercritical liquid carbon dioxide at a pressure of 300 bar, the reactor (cleaning bath!) must be a pressure vessel with a 25 mm wall thickness. The clamp-on MMM system makes ultrasonic agitation possible.
