The products on order – all of which are scheduled for delivery by the end of Q2 – will form part of a massive 250-million-pound capital project and operational overhaul underway at the client’s extensive facility in Europe. Mantec has supplied this processing centre previously, and was chosen again as it has a proven track record in high-performance ceramic membranes that can handle complex material mixes efficiently, sustainably and with great throughputs.

This project demonstrates not only the compatibility of the firm’s advanced technical ceramics knowledge and manufacturing expertise, but also its ability to undertake design, prototyping, testing, and contract feasibility studies. The company will deliver custom-made solutions that will be integrated into one of the largest process redesigns in the industry.

Mantec has been contracted to supply a number of specialized filter housings, some manufactured in polypropylene and others in PTFE-lined carbon steel. The company will also manufacture and supply its proprietary Star-Sep ceramic membranes, fitted within the housings, that will facilitate the effective crossflow filtration process at the heart of the new facility.

Star-Sep membranes deliver efficient crossflow microfiltration. The star-shaped channels increase the filtration area by 20 % when compared with the area of circular channels of the same diameter, shares the company. This results in fewer membranes per housing and a smaller overall footprint. Additionally, the cross-sectional area of the star channel is 30 % less, which lowers the required volumetric flow compared with a circular channel of the same diameter, resulting in a reduction of the pumping energy requirement. The cost effectiveness of the process is therefore substantially improved, adds the firm.

PTFE lining of some housings is essential as they need to be highly chemically resistant and able to demonstrate excellent performance and stability in what is an aggressive environment, often involving extremely corrosive materials. Star-Sep ceramic membranes are also durable in this respect.

Additionally, PTFE linings have a low friction coefficient and demonstrate good thermal stability and high tensile strength. Mantec’s custom systems and housings can be used in a wide variety of industrial solid-liquid separation applications, concludes the firm.
