Solubility of DICAMOL Perlite Filteraid is extremely low in inorganic and organic acids at both high and low temperatures. Solubility in alkali depends upon the kind of alkalies, the concentration and time and temperature of contact.

DICAMOL Perlite Filteraids can filter out particles less than 1.0 micron in size.

DICAMOL Perlite Filteraids are used as:

PRECOAT

BODY FEED

The liquid to be filtered is allowed to flow through a cake of Filteraid.

Filteraid itself is added to the liquid to be filtered.

 

 

DICAMOL Perlite Filteraid is used on various kind of filter equipment. DICAMOL Perlite Filteraid is excellent for use in both pressure and vacuum filter equipment. Some of the common filter equipment used are:

  • Rotary Vacuum Drum Filters
  • Filter Press
  • Vertical Tank Filter
  • Tube or Candle Filter
  • Pressure Leaf Filter
  • Horizontal Tank – Rotating Leaf Filter, etc.

 

A selection criterion of Filter Equipment varies on the type of application, and depends on:

(a) The type and nature of liquid to be filtered and

(b) Quantity and the level of solid impurities.

 

Some industrial applications of DICAMOL Perlite Filteraids are

  • Antibiotics          
  • Chemicals           
  • Dextrose/Glucose           
  • Dyes                        
  • Fruit juices
  • Paints                    
  • Resins                    
  • Sugar                                        
  • Soft Drinks

 

DICAMOL Perlite Filteraids offer

  • Major cost advantage

Due to its light weight (20- 50% density advantage), users can realize substantial savings in filtration operations with a better Filteraid at less cost. 

  • Non-hazardous waste

It is not a hazardous waste and can be easily disposed off.

  • Less equipment abrasion

DICAMOL’s exclusive processing system removes grit from the Filteraid thus making it as pure as possible. This also ensures longer life of filter equipment.

  • Easy cake release

Since DICAMOL Perlite Filteraid is light weight it provides easy cake release at the end of filtration cycle. This helps in easy cleaning of filter equipment thereby reducing manpower requirement and enhanced productivity.
