Heraeus Precious Metals is proud to present their AGXX technology – an environmentally friendly solution for antimicrobial technologies

Water filters are susceptible to contamination by microorganisms and biofouling, posing a risk to both consumer health and the lifespan of the products. As regulations become stricter towards the release of potential hazardous compounds, particularly in Europe, it is increasingly challenging to effectively protect filter media from microbial contamination in a regulatory-compliant manner, as the currently prevailing technologies based on the release of silver-ions are in the process of being banned by the regulatory authorities (ECHA).

Conventional antimicrobial technologies, including silver-ion-based methods, rely on the release of toxic substances. In contrast, the AGXX technology operates by catalytically generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) from ambient air and humidity. AGXX meets current regulatory requirements and provides an environmentally friendly solution.

Additionally, efficacy tests in accordance with ASTM E 2149 conducted at QualityLabs BT GmbH have demonstrated that activated carbon functionalized with AGXX achieves a higher antimicrobial activity than activated carbon functionalized with a conventional silver technology. This highlights the potential of AGXX as a superior alternative in water filter applications.

Adsorption-based processes, essential to reduce environmental pollution and eliminate harmful substances, commonly use filter media materials: activated carbon, zeolites, and metal-organic frameworks, to effectively purify fluids and gases in water treatment or air purification.

Breakthrough curves are assessed to measure and classify the quality of adsorption filter media. The curve shows the adsorbate concentration in the filtrate behind the filter media and the breakthrough that occurs when adsorbate appears in the filtrate. However, determining breakthrough curves for a specific contaminant often requires time-consuming and costly experimental procedures.

The new feature in the GeoDict simulation software of Math2Market makes possible to calculate the molecular movement of particles and to solve for the adsorption equilibrium step-by-step using Langmuir and Toth adsorption isotherms.

These most advanced simulations deliver breakthrough curves for various contaminants. Adsorption is vital in carbon capture to trap and store CO2 emissions from industrial activities and power generation, and prevent their release into the atmosphere, making these simulations a great step towards sustainable engineering.

A reliable solid-liquid filtration that …starts where others stop

A strategic redesign program of the LENZING OptiFil has been developed with the target to maintain competitive pricing and to possibly even extend the application fields to slightly less demanding ones (never to low end markets).

One positive factor enabling a more cost-efficient design has been the increasing numbers sold over the past years and therefore the lot sizes produced.

This allowed for a couple of price-positive design changes such as the increased use of investment casts and a higher degree of standardization using common parts for different sizes and different models.

The additional changes include:

• Standard design pressure of vessel: now: 16 bar/200°C (previously: 10 bar/100°C)
• Pressure vessel codes: more modern EN13445 instead of AD-Merkblätter
• ASME-Coded design with no price adder
• Lower number of parts (and spare parts) simplifies system.
• Shorter lead times for standard filters

The new model OptiFil-S (“S” for Standard) launched this year could manage to keep pricing stable even under rising labor costs while keeping all the standard features allowing for highest backwash efficiency and versatile use. Material of construction from carbon steel to super duplex, shaft seal versions form lip seal to double acting mechanical seal and others.

The new model OptiFil-L (“L” for lean version) accommodates internals that are fabricated at lower cost, with slightly less accuracy, keeping still the main feature of a seal between feed chamber and reject chamber – but omits the feature of an exact positioning after each backwash. Thus, it forms a lower cost version that is targeting for applications slightly less demanding. Since the housing is the same, it is still possible to upgrade to OptiFil-S, should an application proof to be more demanding than previously anticipated.

Fibroline SA has developed and patented dry impregnation technologies. These solutions enable the impregnation of various powders into porous structures homogenously thanks to high intensity alternating electric fields. One main advantage of these innovative technologies is no need for water or solvents.

Dry impregnation can be used for both thin or relatively thick filter media. Many different powders can be impregnated to achieve the desired functions. Recently, Fibroline have made important improvements to capture/extract specific molecules from air or liquids thanks to active powders, for example: MOFs (Metal Organic Frameworks), zeolites and ion exchange resins. By using porous particles with controlled geometries, the targeted molecules are trapped in a very selective way.

The Fibroline technologies give a homogeneous distribution of the particles throughout the porous media. The use of smaller particles will also increase the active area and give higher adsorption capacity and faster adsorption/desorption kinetics.

Promising results have recently been obtained for water treatment (arsenic removal, ion extraction, etc.) as well as for air filtration (capture of hazardous gasses in CBRN applications, CO2 capture or odor removal).

Bag filter systems play a crucial role in various industries by providing an efficient and reliable method of separating contaminants from production processes. These systems are essential for maintaining clean air in environments where dust and otherparticulate matter are generated. In bag filter systems, exhaust air from various processes is fed through flexible bag filter elements, which effectively separate and capture dust emissions, ensuring a cleaner and safer workspace.

The patented Kappa Waveline bag filter can be used to optimize existing or newly planned bag filter systems. The Kappa Waveline® bag filter has 25% more filter surface area, supported on the patented Waveline® support basket with the installation size of a standard bag filter. The increased filter surface area leads to a lower filter surface load at the same volume flow and thus to a reduced pressure loss. The result is significantly reduced energy consumption, in some cases by 30-60%, and thus lower operating costs for the filtration of emissions.

The 25% increase in filter surface area also supports the cleaning effect and reduces the number of cleaning sequences required. This improved cleaning leads to significant savings in compressed air.

The world is moving into a new era where machinery drives do no longer run with combustion motors, but more and more with electrical motors – getting the power preferably from a green grid.

The metals and minerals required for electric motors are mainly copper for the winding, aluminium for the casing and iron-cobalt-nickel, neodym-iron-bor or samarium-cobalt for the permanent magnets. The metals required for the batteries are mainly lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt (NMC with high energy density) or lithium, iron, phosphate (LFP with lower energy density).

Especially elements like lithium, cobalt, neodym, samarium or other elements of the rare earth fraction appear in very low concentration in minerals and require an intense hydro metallurgical processing.

This processing requires several steps of solids liquid separation steps with challenges such as extreme pH-values (<2 or >12), temperatures > 100 °C, intense wash of solids, low moisture, continuous operation, etc. Especially intense wash of solids quite often ends up in two or three steps of filtration with intermediate solids reslurry. However, this pushes CAPEX for filtration equipment to the high end and puts the realization of projects at risk.

Modern pressure drum filters such as the BOKELA BoHiBar Drum XL 18 or XL 26 are able to perform a three-stage counter current cake wash with a slurry that is fed to the filter with a temperature of up to 200 °C and solids with a d50 of down to almost 1 micron.

Modern high-performance disc filters such as the BoVac Disc Filter have set new standards in applications where large capacities of solids, liquids and air have to be managed through the filters.

These disc filters have an enormous hydraulic capacity. For applications in mineral processing – with a special focus on tailings – which typically have high solids throughputs but low filtrate and air flows, this capacity can be used to expand the filtration area while maintaining the benefits of very good cake discharge even with thin cakes (4-5 mm) and a high filter speed.

Research work over the last century has proven that increasing the filter area should be achieved by increasing the disc diameter. Because adding more discs leads to big problems with the cake discharge. However, as the disc diameter increases, the filter segments become longer and heavier.

The BoVac Disc XL352 is the perfect essence. With a filtration area of 352 m² it is the biggest vacuum disc filter on the market. The disc diameter is 6.4 m and the filter has six discs. In tailing applications, the capacity can exceed 1.000 t/h per filter at a moisture of 16-18 %-m/m or get a moisture of 13-16 %-m/m at a reduced capacity.

However, this filter is as well very suitable for coal, ore concentrates and hydrometallurgical separation steps. Particularly in tailings dry stacking projects this filter offers a significant reduction in OPEX and CAPEX compared to the use of pressure filtration with filter presses.

PANION® are fibrous ion exchangers for air and water purification. They are polymeric materials containing in their structure active functional groups that can chemically interact with target compounds.

The variety of functional groups and their combinations makes it possible to remove a wide range of organic and inorganic impurities of an acidic or alkaline nature from water/air.
The main advantages of ion exchange fibers are:

- high degree of air purification (95-100%) at low concentrations of removed substances (0,1-500 mg/m3 in air and 0,01-10 mg/l in water);
- the possibility of producing different textile forms, which provides a wide range of design options for filtering devices and technological processes;
- the small diameter of the elementary fiber (5-50 μm) provides a high rate of sorption-regeneration and allows the process to be carried out in small layers of sorbent (2-30 mm), which determines the low aero- and hydrodynamic resistance of the filter layer;
- low energy and water consumption when used in gas and water purification devices.
The fibers PANION® are suitable for use in various areas of air and water purification, including new applications to protect the environment and human health.

The LENSER i-Plate significantly enhances efficiency and control in filtration processes. This innovative solution enables real-time measurements directly from the filter press – a profound optimization of the process.

In a time where process monitoring is crucial, the LENSER i-Plate sets new standards. With an integrated sensor capturing moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity in the filter cake, it significantly shortens the conventional iterative process of filtration optimization. This leads to a significant increase in production capacity and substantial savings in energy and water consumption.
Through precise tracking and control of the entire filtration cycle in real-time, the LENSER i-Plate allows for targeted adjustment of each step. This means that companies are now able to define and control the ideal filling cutoff point for various suspension qualities in real-time. Additionally, it enables the early detection of the optimal end of the pressing duration.

To facilitate customer access to this new technology, LENSER offers an exclusive leasing option for the digital sensor to interested parties of the Basic and Visual service packages. This enables companies to optimize their filtration process without major investments. Also, for customers who only need insights into the drainage behavior of their filtration environment for a limited period, LENSER’s Rent-Your-Success is very attractive: They can lease the sensor with a monthly cancelable usage agreement.

To benefit from the advantages of the LENSER i-Plate, the purchase of a customized LENSER filter element into which the sensor is embedded is a prerequisite. The duration of the usage agreement is between three and 24 months, after which the user can purchase the sensor. Alternatively, the agreement can be terminated prematurely, with a special PP dummy placed at the sensor’s position, which is then returned to LENSER.

Increasing challenges to the filtering process have led us to think about a groundbreaking innovation in the design of composite filters made of a fine fabric (filter) and a coarse fabric (supporting fabric).
While in the past ordinary double-layer filter media were woven and later point-glued, we make use of a relatively new technology from the yarn industry. The carrier fabric is partly made of so-called core-jacket yarns.
The fine mesh is connected to the coarse mesh under pressure and temperature. The coat of individual yarns in the supporting fabric melts and the liquid plastic combines with the upper cover layer of fine fabric when it catches a cold.

This has enormous advantages for the filtering process:

• fully renewable
• improved chemical resistance
• higher throughput capacity
• smallest filter fineness possible
• material 100% sorted
• can be used in the food industry.

German company Scherdel GmbH has developed a process that makes it possible to combine maximum free filter area with minimum filter opening widths and high stability. As a result, filters with significantly larger flow rates than usual can be produced.

With the new SCHERDEL MicroSolex filter, finest porosity can be realized independent of filter wall thicknesses. Also maximized free filter areas can be combined with high rigidity and minimum slot widths.

In this way existing technical limits can be overcome and filters with high strength can be produced without the need of an additional support structure. Using this method the filters can be designed as filter cartridges as well as filter discs.
Wherever filters with higher flow rates and high stability promise better performance the new design can also be implemented or can also be used to optimize existing systems and equipment.

The SCHERDEL MicroSolex also has excellent backwashing properties. The high rigidity allows backwashing even at high pressures without causing damage to the filter.
Scherdel research and development departments are currently working on designing filters for a whole range of different applications from existing prototypes. Besides other applications backflush filter systems are a main focus for the usage of MicroSolex filters.

The new Jowatherm-Reaktant® MR 614.50 provides very good results with a low application amount in the lamination processes of activated carbon filters as well as multi-layer filter media. It can be processed at temperatures 40–50°C lower compared to the PUR hot melt adhesives currently on the market—this saves resources and facilitates an optimized application process.

Adhesives from the Jowatherm-Reaktant® MR product range (MR = monomer-reduced) have a free monomeric isocyanate content of less than 0.1%. In accordance with the current EU regulation, the adhesive is therefore not subject to hazard labeling requirements.

The use of metallic filter media in dynamic crossflow filtration with BoCross filters enables versatile and completely new process solutions for tasks such as classifying, clarifying liquids and concentrating solids.

For such tasks the use of metallic filter media offers solutions tailored to the product and objective when state-of-the-art technologies such as wedge wire screen, candle filters, backflush filters, vibration screens, centrifuges or membrane filters reach their limits. Innovative processes such as dynamic sieve filtration and dynamic precoat filtration can be realised. Dynamic sieve filtration allows to continuously sieve out disruptive coarse particles from highly concentrated or highly viscous suspensions with a sharp separation cut. Dynamic precoat filtration allows to completely separate solids and thus produce absolutely clear filtrates. Thereby, the ground layer is created by particles of the suspension – without addition of other substances. Also microfine suspensions can be concentrated when the use of microporous membranes (polymeric or ceramic) is not possible. The modular design of the BoCross filter – i.e. the series arrangement of the filter elements – is a great advantage in this regard. Adaptation to the different separation tasks is done by varying various parameters.

Diemme® Filtration has designed and built the first of this “next generation” of enormous filter presses, capable of approximately 3 times the throughput of the largest filter-press currently in operation.

The new GHT5000F Domino filter press has included the following benefits:

• IIoT for control, management and optimization from remote (refer to our AIDA system tutor)
• Integrated work platform for easy maintenance
• Rinsing system with 6 points of washing for a homogeneous rinse of the filter media after each cycle
• Automatic high-pressure cloth washing system with double wash-bar to simultaneously clean the cloths of two chambers and halve the downtime to perform HP cloth washing
• Parts of the frame are factory pre-assembled modules to reduce assembly time at the site
• Quick-Connect cable connections between modules minimize wiring and ensure quick assembly at the site
• Cloth replacement from either side of the filter, with simultaneous multi-cloth replacement capability

With a max total filtration volume of 71 m3, and a max total filtration area of 2.850 m2, the GHT5000F Domino is the largest filter-press available in the market. On large throughput projects, the GHT5000F Domino will significantly improve the capital cost of a tailings filtration plant compared with installing many smaller filter presses for the same duty. On a case-by-case basis, it is possible to evaluate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and determine if a reduced number of large filtration trains offers savings versus a system with more units of smaller size.

Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) is of keen interest to simulate flow and filtration on filters with cartridges. However, performing systematic simulations on different geometrical setups requires the generation of these structures as CAD individually and the import of each sample separately.

A new feature in the GeoDict software allows to generate a variety of cartridges with changing pleat count, pleat thickness, and number of porous layers, and digitally switch them inside the housing. Starting now, it is easy and quick to find the ideal configuration between filter area and pleat count for cartridges and their housing, regarding their local minimum pressure drop and many filtration relevant parameters.

This digital test of the performance of filter prototypes circumvents the need for expensive, trial-and-error manufacturing and testing phases, since only promising prototypes undergo measurements at the testbench. These systematic simulations with varying geometries or flow rates may be run simultaneously in cloud applications to further increase the productivity, fit customers requests, and decrease time-to-market.

TMCI Padovan presents an innovative process for recovering carbon dioxide produced during grapes fermentation for microalgae production, photosynthetic unicellular organisms that need carbon dioxide to carry out their natural metabolism. Microalgae biomass is already widely used in various commercial sectors such as agri-food, cosmeceutical and nutraceutical sectors, energy and chemistry.

Fermentation produces CO2 which is first compressed and then connected to a photobioreactor, made with recyclable materials, so light combined to few other inorganic nutrients will stimulate the algal biomass to absorb CO2 and release oxygen into the atmosphere through chlorophyll photosynthesis.
Biomass is then concentrated with static (Biom Nitor) and dynamic crossflow filters (Biom Dynamos), reaching the final dry mass of 20-25% w/w.
Concentrated biomass can be used in several ways: fodders, cosmetics or natural fertilizers, it can be used also for mixing into soft drinks to increase the nutritional value but also to wine-based drinks, beer or soft drinks to modify the colours.

Furtherly dried biomass can be used as additive for food preparation (pasta, ice cream, pastry, supplements, etc.) but also in cosmetic preparations and any chemical industrial application (biofuels, chemical products, etc.) or high added value molecules (omega 3, antioxidants, natural pigments).
With an average winery of 2.000.000 liters of wine/year with the consequent production of about 176 tons of carbon dioxide, it is possible to accumulate almost 98 tons of algal biomass in 1 year.

The TMCI Padovan R&D facility and at the Department of Biology of the University of Padua (IT), patented also a specific strain of microalgae capable to produce an oil very similar as composition to palm oil, thus resulting its valid and convenient alternate.
This aspect definitely prevents undeniable benefits for environmental and human health.

Hydro Press Industries will introduce a rice bran wax filter press with high pressure technology to achieve dry cakes with minimal effort. High pressure filter presses are recommended for the application which requires dry cakes. If the cake is a value-added product, then the retention of liquid from the cake can be extracted using high pressure filter press. Hydro Press offers High Pressure filter press series which has benefitted clients from various Industries for last 30 years.

Hydro Press has introduced the same concept in rice bran application with lot of R&D to provide an effective solution. High pressure technology replaces the traditional Hydraulic wax press machine. The wax which is obtained in the form of cake from first filtration has oil retention of 55 % approx in the cake solids. Traditionally, a vertical wax filter press is employed in recovering maximum oil from this cake by pressing at higher tonnage. Using traditional wax press the oil retention is reduced from 55 % to 35-40 %. But it is seemingly a laborious process. Using high pressure RBWF series filter press, the oil retention is reduced from 55 % to 27 % with less labour requirement.

The High-pressure filter press is coupled with high pressure pump feeding system. This involves feeding the raw material with higher operating pressure using progressive cavity pump which squeezes the wax and thereby achieving a dry wax cake with low moisture and maximum throughput.

The fully automatic AF-series from AQUACHEM is a technical advancement of conventional chamber filter presses. Due to today’s required degree of automation, lack of personnel and the urge to increase efficiency in daily business, the conventional filter press technology is often no longer up to date.

Our fully automatic filter press is a mature and reliable system that has already proven itself many times under the toughest conditions. The press continuously produces and discharges filter cakes safely without the presence of an operator, with a guaranteed machine availability of up to 98%. Suspension leakage during the filter cycle is also a thing of the past.

In addition to the significantly reduced operating costs, the investment is usually only slightly higher than with a conventional chamber or membrane filter press. Due to the higher capacity per available square meter of filter area, a smaller automatic filter press can be used.

High machine availability, low maintenance and reduced disposal costs due to the higher dry matter content of the filter cake are just some of the many advantages of our AF series.

No leakage, no staff – maximum flexibility. Convince yourself and contact us!

In the pleating machine industry ranges of pleat heights have been established in order to produce appropriate pleat heights from most varied materials. The two types of pleating knives being most frequently used are covering the ranges 5-50 mm and 10-100 mm.
Formerly machine operators had to remove protective guards and the bolts fixing the knives at the cross bars when having to change the range. Even for a machine width of up to 1000 mm it used to be quite difficult for one person to accomplish the change. For a working width of over 1000 mm it was mandatory to involve a second person. An additional potential problem was the challenge to assemble the knife perfectly parallel. Even experienced machine operators needed about 15 minutes to carry out the exchange.
Roth Composite Machinery has developed an automated device for changing the knives. The upper and lower cross bars are each equipped with two pleating knife ranges. The special drive techno logy of RCM machines makes it possible to swivel the knife crossbar by 180° and to change between the two pleat height ranges automatically. The whole procedure takes less than 30 seconds and can be performed during the production process (i. e. when having material in the machine) without any problems. As the knives do not have to be removed from the crossbars assembly faults will be prevented. Furthermore a referencing of the machine is not necessary.

Fraunhofer IKTS develops and improves materials and processes for hot gas filters and their applications, such as the dedusting of exhaust gases from the steel and lime industry. A further process development at IKTS focuses on the environmentally relevant topic of phosphorus recovery from the mono-combustion of sewage sludge:
By modifying the sewage sludge with special additives, the heavy metal load of the ash fractions-containing phosphate will be significantly reduced. The process is based on the targeted gene ra tion of volatile heavy metal compounds that pass into the gas phase at high temperatures and are separated from the combustion ash by hot gas filtration. The harsh conditions require the use of ceramic filters that are particularly resistant to high temperature as well as chemicals attacks. Realistic load situations can be simulated with special test benches in order to specifically improve the chemical and mechanical resistance as well as the filtration properties of the hot gas filters. In-situ modification makes it possible to reduce the specific energy consumption required for recovering valuable materials compared with processing the ash separately. By combining hot gas filtration with membrane-supported processes, it is also possible to extract CO₂ from hot and dust-enriched exhaust gases to meet the emission regulations.

The integration with AUTEC and GUSBI let to automate and have the production process under control from the loading of the paper to the unloading of finished products. The load of the media on the rotary table is automatically performed through the use of an anthropomorphic robot: the concentricity and the repeatability of the coupling of the paper with the endcap is ensured. The vertical press of the paper with the endcap is independent for each side of the filter. The load cells installed on the press allow to check each filter pressed; even the heating of the endcaps is controlled station by station setting the percentage of power for each single IR lamp and setting the height of the lamps. The load of the endcaps on the rotary table can be done automatically, with different solutions for loading the rotary table, with different level of automation and production autonomy. At the end of the production process the dimensional check is carried out automatically: a dimensional non-conformity is detected and the not compliance product is expelled from the unloading conveyor.

A new space-saving and flexible solution to load endcaps in the Gusbi table for the eco-oil filters production. A system that singularize and orientate the parts using our experience of drop-down conveyors joined with vibration system and vision camera. Easy to set up for model changes and new models.
