Chemical Residue Is No Match For Eaton Mechanically Cleaned Filters

摘要

One of the largest custom packagers of consumer products in North America produces and distributes many popular national brands of household and personal care products in plants located across the USA and Canada. Environmental regulations at their plants require process water to be free of certain specified contaminants prior to being discharged into the public sewer system. A particular customer was using a large, 24"x 24" filter press equipped with a dozen 40-micron filter pads to remove flocculated contaminants from the wastewater before processing it through an ultrafiltration system prior to discharge. The pads had to be changed twice per day in a messy, labor intense process that resulted in an av- erage of three hours of downtime daily.
