Catalytic process plays an important role in modern chemical industry. Statistically, 80% to 85% of chemical production use catalyst to speed up reaction rates. However, replacing spent catalyst contributes to a large portion of overall production cost. This cost could be well avoided by implementing a well designed catalyst recovery and regeneration system.

Feature-Tec Catalyst Recovery System

Feature-Tec’s catalyst recovery system uses automatic filtration,magnetic separation,fine filtration and membrane technology to achieve total catalyst recovery.

Advantages of Feature-Tec Equipment

• Reduces loss of expensive materials
• Improve product quality
• Reduce waste emissions and meet environmental protection standards
• Reduce maintenance frequency and cost
• Reduce energy consumption
• Improves rate of recovery and purification

 

Stage One: Purification – Cluster Collecting Type Automatic Filtration System

SelfClear Automatic Filtration System regenerates the filter elements without interrupting production processes. It is suitable for hazardous environments with zero exposure to atmosphere. It can also filter soft, deformable particles which is extremely useful in fluids with high dirt content.

 

 

Stage Two: Purification – Magnetic Separation

Catalytic processes usually involve ferrous particles such as Nickel, Chromium, Molybdenum, Palladium, Platinum etc. The high costs of such precious metals make recovery a necessity in process plants. FerroClean™ is tailored to separate ferrous particles from working fluid. This fully automatic system allows users to achieve clean filtrate and recover catalysts at a relatively high concentration.

 

 

Stage Three: Precision Filtration – Bag Filter

Our modular filtration system Speedo is designed to meet variable flow rate requirements. Modular filtration system allows continuous operation during filter element replacement, with easily expandable system capacity. The quick clamping, rapid opening mechanism ensures simple, operator friendly and safe operation with minimal downtime to increase productivity and decrease running costs.

A supplied special tool, together with a counter-balanced, spring assisted cover-lifting mechanism enables simple operation. Positive O-ring sealing offers easy and safe operation. Side inlet and bottom outlet provides easy and full drainage, tangential outlet option available to reduce housing height.
