CONTUFILT-RN
Raney Nickel Catalyst Filtration
Raney Nickel Catalyst filtration in hydrogenation is one of the trickiest filtration processes in the chemical industry. The alkaline pH makes the catalyst very sticky and slimy, causing filters to choke instantaneously. CONTUFILT-R is specifically designed for this challenging application. It uses our proprietary vacuum-fused open channel media to handle these issues with ease.
With 35 years of experience in system engineering, we have developed CONTUFILT-RN Raney Nickel Catalyst filters featuring vacuum-fused open channel proprietary media. This design offers high permeability and low-pressure drops, giving CONTUFILT-RN an edge over other filters.
The system uses filter candles made from vacuum-fused open channel proprietary media, ideal for Raney Nickel Catalyst filtration. Filter candles are arranged on a tube bundle within a housing for effective filtration. The system performs filtration functions including in-situ reverse flow, washing, and gas-assisted discharge to handle collected Raney Nickel catalyst particles. The cake is collected in a semi-solid form or sent as a slurry, and the candles are cleaned and prepared for the next operation. A zero hold-up bottom design ensures complete removal of liquid from the vessel, crucial for API manufacturing where GMP standards do not allow mixing of batches or any liquid hold-up. This design achieves full liquid recovery and purges the Raney Nickel Catalyst out of the system without the need for opening the system or creating slurry.
