The filtration of liquids as opposed to gases or solids can prevent its own set of challenges, especially when setting up new processes. A lot depends on the liquid in question. Experience counts for a lot in such cases, and at CFS Filtration our decades of expertise allow us to anticipate the requirements and demands of a new type of system in many cases. Getting the infrastructure right the first time will keep costs down, and also reduce lead time in bringing your new manufacturing, processing or testing system online. It also means that standard extant liquid process filter products will be used whenever possible, making it easier and cheaper to maintain the system throughout its lifespan.
As you can imagine, many high-volume and high-flowrate filtration applications are concerned with the filtration of water, whether the purpose is to purify the water or to use it as a medium for other substances which are suspended or removed. If you have ever stood atop a cliff face looking out over the sea, you will appreciate the potential power of water and the forces we could be dealing with! In order to provide for high-volume water filtration, the liquid process filter products we use must not only meet requirements in terms of removal ratings, but also be sturdy and reliable enough to provide consistent results throughout the process cycle, and even when pressures approach their maximum allowable values.
Other liquid products and media can present other types of hurdles to overcome. As you would expect, most liquid process filter products are made to be highly chemically resistant, so that they will not be compromised by the chemicals with which they are to be used. However, new chemical technologies always place increased demand on such materials, and we know it will never be long before one of our customers throws up a new challenge for us to adapt to!
Chemical corrosion isn’t the only difficulty liquid products can cause for filtration system design. Medium viscosity can cause some types of filter to become obstructed more quickly than you would expect, leading to a requirement for careful monitoring and maintenance practices. Thick liquid products can be affected by changes in environment, such as variations in temperature or humidity, or even vibrations. If subtle changes cause congealing of the product within the filter, production can be interrupted and contamination becomes a possible risk. The best liquid process filter products for any application are usually the ones which stay clear and effective under any possible conditions, and when a customer calls us in for a technical consultation, this is the standard against which we judge all installations. At the end of the day, your business deserves whatever system will give you the best results quickly and efficiently.
