Sulphur filtration? Some key drivers
• Protection of sulphur burner nozzles
• Protection of catalyst
Reduce number of shutdows
• Good working main filters reach in optimum
situation 10 ppm in filtrate.
• How well do your main filters work?
• Tendency: solid content after filtration < 5ppm.
polish/safety filtration is a must!

• Production in own workshop (Uitgeest, the Netherlands)
• Range of filter mesh for different applications like: • 60 mesh
• 24 x 110 mesh
• PZ80
• Only high quality materials • Binding, nozzle 316
• Drain- and support mesh 316
• Rivets 316
• Filter mesh suitable for application, 316 or 904(1.4539)

Design of filter elements (2)
• Optimum flow and low differential pressure
resulting in equal process results between small
and large elements.
• High flow nozzle
• Better precoating
• Better cake drying
• Better cake discharge
• Less forces on profile

Operation
• Use high quality filter leaves (5 ply).
• Proper pre-coating procedure.
• Proper pre-coating speed
• Correct dosage of precoat filter aid
• Low speed gives unstable pre-coat layer.
• Results in collapsing of bridges.
• Valve sequence (valve out precoat loop, valve in
filtration loop) to keep pressure on filter cake

Operation
• Proper Filtration Speed
• Proper inspection and maintenance of the leaves
and gaskets
• Cleaning of essential parts of the filter (bayonet
ring for example)
• Choice of filteraid

Choice of filter aid
• Organic (cellulose) vs. traditional
inorganics (DE, Celite 503, Perlite,etc
• Much easier cake release
• Better protection of the filter leaves (longer life time)
• Selection of product pumps
• Filtrate quality (no carry over of precoat material),
hence lower concentrations of solids
• Handling (WHO Statement)
• Disposal of filter cake (combustion, landfilling ?)

Filter cake mineral products
18
During start-up, smaller particles
will pass the filter cake
Cake Formation
A solid cake build up will start only
once stable ‚bridges‘ have been
established.
Problems
It takes time to establish a good pre-coat layer (filter cake).
Larger particles can block (blind) the filtercake.
At higher DP, particles may pass through the filter cake.
![Page 19: Optimizing Filtration Sulphur burning acid plantsh2so4.com.br/...2013/...TotalFiltrationManagement.pdf · Types of polishing/police filters Pressure leaf • Mainly Police filter](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042213/5eb67cf4171dfd3403563ac7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Filtercake – Organic fibers
Advantages
Quicker pre-coating
Fleece-alike structure reduces risc for blinding of the filtercake
No bypass at higher Dp
Bridges are established quickly Fibers create a 3D network. Smaller
particles are efficiently captures.
