Embarking on my career journey, a seasoned mentor once shared a nugget of wisdom that continues to echo: “Filtration, like life, is a compromise.” Initially, we interpreted it as an inevitable hurdle, but over the years in the realm of filtration and separation, I’ve learned it’s not about compromise—it’s about the choices we make.
Often relegated to the sidelines, filtration, commonly seen as a barrier to catching contaminants, is a critical unit operation that doesn’t always receive its due attention. A misguided filter choice can bottleneck a plant, resulting in lost man-hours and product losses, stealthily eroding profit margins.
This blog aims to illuminate the importance of filtration and separation in industrial processes, urging production, projects, and purchase departments to recognize its pivotal role.
1. Low Flow Rates and Productivity Challenges:
Grasp the impact of low flow rates on productivity and how it can impede overall plant efficiency.
2. Compatibility Issues:
Navigate through challenges related to compatibility issues when selecting filtration equipment and understand their potential impact on the process.
3. Lack of Basic Specifications Knowledge:
Acknowledge the significance of fundamental specifications like pH, viscosity, density, pressure, and temperature. Consult Darcy’s equation to appreciate their importance.
4. Overlooked Factors:
Illuminate often disregarded factors such as zeta potential charge, particle size distribution, and the type of filtration media (cloth type).
