Catalyst Recovery

Mott’s liquid filter technologies are specifically designed to capture 99+% of catalyst — either for recycling or reclamation while achieving excellent filtrate quality.   The Mott HyPulse® LSI can be designed for a variety of clean-in-place backwashes, ranging from discharge of an approximate 15 wt. % slurry to an approximate 50 wt.% wet cake.  For applications with significant submicron particles, the HyPulse® LSX cross-flow filter achieves less than 50 ppm filtrate quality without worry of blinding media with small catalyst particles.  For applications with dense particles such as Raney Nickel, the HyPulse® LSM offers the best of both worlds, allowing for a configurable filtration and backwash operation while taking advantage of the natural high-particle density with gravity settling to handle high solids loading streams.  All three technologies are designed to specific process conditions, can withstand operating temperatures up to 1700°F, as well as high operating pressures and challenging corrosive environments.
