Continuous Vacuum Filtration Technologies for Sulfuric and Hydrochloric Acid Slurries

July 20, 2017

This white paper discusses highly acidic chemical process slurries and the use of continuous vacuum filtration technologies for filtration, cake washing and drying. First, the basics and benefits of continuous vacuum filtration technologies are reviewed followed by case studies. In this first process, the precipitated solids are in a sulfuric acid slurry. The challenge is to process 2200 kg/hour of dry solids for filtration, counter-current washing and drying in a contained environment.
