Candle Filter is a specialized type of
filtering equipment widely used in various industries for its effective solid-liquid separation capabilities. It employs a series of cylindrical filter elements, resembling candles, hence its name. These filter elements are typically made from porous ceramic, sintered
metal, or other materials capable of supporting a cake layer to enhance filtration efficiency.
Applications
- Petrochemical Industry: For filtering catalysts, polymers, and other process fluids.
- Chemical Industry: For filtering corrosive and abrasive fluids, pigments, and slurries.
- Mining Industry: For processing ore slurries and removing fines.
- Food and Beverage Industry: For clarifying fruit juices, beer, and other beverages.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: For filtering active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other process fluids.
- Water and Wastewater Treatment: For removing suspended solids and particles from water and wastewater streams.
Advantages
- High Filtration Efficiency: The combination of filter media and cake layer provides excellent filtration efficiency, capturing particles down to sub-micron sizes.
- Long Service Life: The filter elements are durable and can withstand high pressures and temperatures, reducing the frequency of replacements.
- Low Maintenance: The backwash system allows for easy and effective removal of the cake layer, minimizing maintenance requirements.
- Scalability: Candle Filters can be scaled up or down to meet the specific needs of the application, from small laboratory-scale units to large industrial filters.
- Versatility: They can be used with a variety of process fluids, including corrosive and abrasive media.
Types of Candle Filters
- Ceramic Candle Filters: Ceramic filter elements offer high chemical resistance and temperature stability, making them suitable for harsh environments. They are commonly used in the petrochemical and chemical industries.
- Metal Candle Filters: Metal filter elements, typically made from sintered stainless steel, offer good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. They are suitable for applications involving abrasive fluids and high pressures.
- Polymer Candle Filters: Polymer filter elements are lightweight and easy to handle, making them suitable for small-scale and portable applications. They are commonly used in the food and beverage industry.
