CONTUFILT-RN
Solving the Raney Nickel Filtration Challenge
CONTUFILT-RN™ is a specialized closed filtration system designed for efficient separation and recovery of Raney Nickel catalysts in hydrogenation processes. Engineered to handle highly alkaline, sticky, and slimy catalyst systems, it ensures reliable filtration without choking, while maintaining high recovery and process integrity.
High-Permeability Filtration & Catalyst Cake Management
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.
Low-ΔP Operation, Recovery & Process Containment
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
