Introduction
In chloride process TiO₂ Filtration, handling filter press filtrate presents critical challenges: valuable powder loss directly impacts yield, and frequent filter clogging causes unplanned operational downtime. This ongoing 20 m² micro-filtration pilot plant delivers compelling data to solve these exact issues.
On-Site Trial Results
Pain Point: Significant Product Loss in Filtrate
Solution & Result: >99% Powder Recovery Rate, consistently reclaiming TiO₂ fines that were once wasted.
Pain Point: Frequent Downtime for Manual Cleaning
Solution & Result: 30+ Days of Uninterrupted Operation, enabled by robust automated self-backwashing.
Pain Point: Inconsistent Filtration Quality
Solution & Result: 0.2 µm Surface Filtration, ensuring absolutely precise separation and a consistently clear permeate.
Pain Point: Low Throughput of Existing Filtration Systems
Solution & Result: High 400 L/m²/h Flux. This high processing capacity enables faster turnaround of large filtrate volumes, significantly increasing overall plant throughput without requiring a larger footprint.
Proven Technology – LQ Series Microfiltration System
This record is powered by our latest LQ Series filters, specifically designed for high-recovery TiO₂ filtration and filtrate treatment applications. The system features a 16-module configuration that ensures operational resilience and allows for flexible capacity scaling.
The core 0.2 µm surface filtration technology is the definitive solution to deep clogging—the root cause of downtime and purity issues in TiO₂ production. The integrated automatic backwash function is key to its success as a low-maintenance microfiltration unit, enabling the extended 30+ day operating cycles observed in this trial.
Key engineering features include:
Temperature resistance: Compatible with standard TiO₂ process conditions
Chemical compatibility: Full resistance to acidic chloride-process streams
Backflushable + chemically recoverable: Extends service life and reduces consumable costs
Sealed, automated operation: PLC control with safety interlocks for reliable performance
Modular design: 16 independent modules allow for maintenance without full system shutdown
