Filter Aid Perlite
Lightweight expanded perlite bubble structures are milled and classified using strictly defined processes to produce perlite filter aid with specific flow characteristics. The various grades utilize the jagged interlocking structures to create billions of microscopic channels between particles to produce optimum flow rates and clarification abilities for a wide variety of applications. Making it the best filter aid.
Benefits of Perlite in Filtration
- Naturally Inert: It has no taste, color, or odors that are transferred to the filtered product, preserving the purity of the substance being filtered.
- Insoluble: Perlite remains insoluble in mineral and organic acids at all temperatures, and its solubility in strong alkaline solutions varies with temperature and contact time, ensuring the stability of the filter media.
- Usable With Standard Equipment: Perlite filter aids are compatible with both pressure and vacuum filtration equipment, offering versatility without the need for specialized machinery.
- Less Weight, Same Volume: Perlite filter aids can be up to 50% lighter than other filter media types, reducing the weight of the filter cake without reducing volume, which can contribute to cost savings in handling and disposal.
- Anti-Caking: The end of the filtration perlite process is efficient because the filter cakes remain porous and do not compact, facilitating easier cleaning and maintenance of filtration equipment.
- Cost-Effective: Switching to a perlite filter aid from other media is cost-effective and seamless, without compromising filtration performance.
- High Filtration Efficiency: Perlite traps particulates effectively, providing high clarity in the filtration of a wide array of liquids.
- Regenerative and Reusable: The potential to regenerate and reuse perlite makes it an economical choice for filtration operations.
- Sustainable: Using perlite aligns with green practices due to its natural origin and minimal environmental impact.
- Non-Toxic: Handling perlite poses no health risks, ensuring safety for workers and the environment.
- Broad Range of Applications: Perlite’s adaptability makes it suitable for diverse filtration needs across industries.
- Energy Savings: The lightweight nature of perlite aids in reducing energy consumption during the filtration process.
