A chemical manufacturer was looking to increase the output of a product line, without exchanging the complete filtration system due to cost issues.
Solution:
GKN engineering recommended the SIKA-R 3 AS metallic membrane to solve the challenge. Compared to conventional filter media, the AS membrane delivers a 20% higher flow rate and higher output of the filtration system.
Result:
With customized design, cartridges are used as a retrofit in almost any filter vessel. The chemical manufacturer was able to increase productivity while maintaining the existing filter system.
This saved the additional costs of vessels, tubesheets, and valves that would have made the project over budget. The SIKA-R 3 AS metallic membrane enabled a quick return of investment for them.
