Dry-cake Filtration System

TFC uses multiple clover-profile filter elements in a closed vessel. After cake formation, the cake can be washed and gas-dried in place, then discharged through sequenced pulse blowback.

TFC Dry-cake Filtration System

A batch cycle for filling, precoat, filtration, heel recovery, gas drying and blowback cake discharge.

Six-stage process

  1. Fill: Pump the feed into the filter until the vessel is full.
  2. Recirculate or precoat: Recirculate through the feed or precoat tank when an initial cake is required.
  3. Filter: Build the cake while clarified liquid is transferred to the filtrate tank.
  4. Recover the heel: Return the remaining slurry or apply a low-heel recovery option.
  5. Dry the cake: Use compressed gas to reduce residual cake moisture.
  6. Discharge: Pulse individual branches so that the cloth expands and releases the cake.

Options include metered filter aid, in-situ cake washing, atomized spray, mixed element lengths, rotary gas sweep, online cloth cleaning, bottom filtration and enclosed cake receiving.
