Case Study :Efficient Raney Nickel Filtration in Sorbitol Production

The manufacturer encountered multiple operational issues with traditional filtration systems. Leaking filter presses caused frequent product losses and contamination, reducing batch yield. Open handling of the catalyst increased exposure risks, necessitating additional safety precautions. Catalyst losses were significant, adding to operational costs. The filtration process was slow, delaying batch turnover and limiting production capacity. Manual handling of the filter presses made the operation labour-intensive, increasing dependency on skilled workers and resulting in higher operational costs.
