CONTUFILT-RN

How It Works

• Filtration - reaction mass passes through vacuum-fused open channel filter candles arranged in a tube bundle.
• High permeability media - ensures smooth flow with low pressure drop even for difficult slurries.
• Reverse flow cleaning - in-situ reverse flow prevents clogging and restores permeability.
• Washing - integrated washing removes impurities from catalyst cake.
• Gas-assisted discharge - catalyst discharged as slurry or semi-solid cake without system opening.
• Closed loop operation - system cleaned and readied for next batch without exposure.

Key Features

• Proprietary vacuum-fused open channel metallic media
• Designed for highly alkaline and sticky Raney Nickel systems
• High permeability with low pressure drop
• Zero holdup bottom design for complete liquid recovery
• Fully enclosed system ensuring GMP compliance
• No choking or blinding of filter media
• Long media life with consistent performance
