Product Details

Filter Cartridge

The filter cartridge frame of the DCF series fully automatic candle filter system is designed in the shape of a six-petal flower, with top and bottom ports manufactured using molding techniques. It is available in various materials such as stainless steel, PP, PVDF, etc., to accommodate different material conditions. The filter fabric has a smooth transition on the frame, which is beneficial for draining the liquid inside the filter rod, increasing the cartridge's pressure and load-bearing capacity. This aids in automatic drying and cake removal. The unique molding design enhances the consistency and reliability of filter cartridge production while also improving adhesion during cake drying and release during cake removal.

Operating Principle

The DCF series fully automatic candle filter system integrates multiple tubular filter elements within a sealed container. These filter elements are covered with specially selected filter cloth based on the characteristics of the filtered liquid. In the case of certain special liquids, filter aids such as activated carbon or diatomaceous earth may be added. When the liquid passes through the filter elements, solid particles are trapped by the filter cloth, gradually forming a "filter cake." Because the gaps between the particles in the filter cake are small, this prevents the escape of particulate impurities from the liquid, resulting in the liquid becoming clear and achieving the desired filtration effect. When the filter cake layer reaches a certain thickness, the filter's filtrate capacity decreases, and filtration efficiency deteriorates. At this point, the filter cake layer needs to be removed, and a new filter cake is constructed to begin a new filtration cycle.

Lever Module Building upon the candle filter

Lever Module Building upon the candle filter, we have designed modular components for the piping, instruments, and valves, as well as a complete lever module. This not only reduces lead times but also lowers the on-site construction requirements.

Filtration State

The liquid passes through the filter cloth, flows from the outer porous pipes towards the central pipe inside, and then flows towards the top liquid collection outlet. The filter cloth is pressed against the outer surface of the support pipe, and the corrugated support pipe can increase the filtration area and help secure the filter cake, preventing the filter cloth from detaching, thus ensuring stable filtration performance.

Operating System

The Sffiltech DCF series candle-type filter systems offer both manual and automatic control modes, as illustrated in the diagram below. Users can employ on-site PLC system control or DCS control for enhanced safety and convenience in equipment operation.

Workflow

Inlet: Open the "inlet valve" and start the "material pump." Liquid is injected into the filter chamber. Simultaneously, the "air release valve" at the top of the filter automatically opens to expel air from the filter chamber.

Circulation

Once the filter chamber is filled with liquid, the "air release valve" automatically closes, and the "circulation valve" automatically opens. The liquid from the material tank enters the filter through the "inlet valve" and returns to the material tank via the "circulation valve." Circulation filtration begins, and the filter cake gradually forms and thickens on the filter elements.

Filtration

When the filter cake reaches a certain thickness and the filtered liquid meets the quality requirements based on automatic detection or sampling, the "circulation valve" automatically closes, and the "clear liquid valve" automatically opens, initiating the formal filtration process. The filtered liquid is then discharged into the "clear liquid tank."

Drying

After all the liquid is drained from the filter chamber, the "discharge valve" is closed, compressed air is introduced through the "positive air inlet valve," and the "clear liquid valve" or "circulation liquid" is opened to discharge the compressed air. Compressed air passing through the filter elements rapidly dries the filter cake.

Cover Opening for Cake Discharge

The explanation for opening the air release valve is as follows: After the filter cake has dried, close the "positive air inlet valve," "clear liquid valve," or "circulation valve." Open the "air release valve" to release the pressure in the tank. Then, open the bottom "cake discharge valve" to prepare for cake discharge.

Reverse Blowing for Cake Removal

The explanation for reverse blowing for cake removal is as follows: Open the "reverse blowing valve" to introduce compressed air. The filter bag expands, causing the filter cake to fall off. Then, close the "reverse blowing valve," and the filter bag contracts. This process is repeated multiple times to repeatedly expand and contract the filter cloth on the filter elements, allowing the filter cake to fall off rapidly.

Cleaning

After cake discharge, close the "cake discharge valve," open the "cleaning valve," introduce cleaning fluid, and open the "drain valve" to discharge the cleaning fluid. The filter cloth is restored by the repeated flushing with cleaning fluid, restoring filtration efficiency. (Different cleaning fluids and cleaning methods can be selected based on the chemical properties of the material.)

Backwashing State

Reverse airflow is introduced, flowing from the central non-porous pipe to the external porous pipes. The filter cloth expands and becomes round, effectively shaking off and detaching the filter cake. Simultaneously, it can remove particles from the filter cloth fibers, improving the efficiency of the backwashing process and rapidly restoring the filter cloth's filtration capacity.

Pressure Filtration and Residue Discharge

When the flow rate measured by the "clear liquid flow meter" falls below a certain value, indicating that the filter needs cake removal, the "positive air inlet valve" automatically opens, and the "inlet valve" automatically closes to drain the remaining liquid from the filter chamber. Once all the liquid that is at the same level as the filter elements in the filter chamber is drained, the "discharge valve" is opened, allowing the residual liquid at the bottom of the filter chamber, which couldn't filter out, to be discharged via the "retained liquid valve." If process requirements prohibit returning the residual liquid to the material tank, the "discharge valve" is not opened. Instead, the "residual liquid pump" is activated to pump the residual liquid to the "residual liquid spray nozzle," where it is sprayed into the filter. Compressed air introduced through the "positive air inlet valve" filters the sprayed residual liquid into the "clear liquid tank." The "residual liquid flow meter" automatically closes when no residual liquid is detected in the chamber, indicating the completion of the residue removal process.

Filter Element Form

6+1-style integrated petal structure, with a filtration pressure regulation device to ensure strong filtration element, high flux, uniform filter cake, and stable filtration efficiency. Filtration elements are available in various materials, both metallic and non-metallic, offering corrosion resistance and long service life, reducing the cost of spare parts.

Rectangular metal mesh support structures make filter cloth installation complicated and equipment maintenance difficult, and the plate-like support structure leads to uneven pre-coating, affecting filtration performance.

Uniformity of Pre-coating:

Single filter elements have a smaller area, with a cylindrical and radial structure. The filtration pressure regulation device ensures a very uniform pre-coating.

Single blade filters have a larger area with a rectangular plate-like structure. The lack of flow rate adjustment devices results in uneven pre-coating.

Filter Cloth Attachment to Support:

Special tightening mechanisms at both ends ensure no leakage and facilitate easy installation and disassembly.

In contrast, installation and disassembly are inconvenient in the case of the other filter type, which can lead to potential leakage issues.

Filter Cloth Regeneration:

The filter cloth can be regenerated using various solutions such as gas, clean water, acid, or alkali through methods like backwashing, forward washing, or scrubbing, depending on the requirements. After regeneration, the flux remains unaffected, and the frequency of filter cloth replacement is low.

In contrast, for vibrating-cake filter cloth regeneration, it can be backwashed with gas or cleaning liquid, but it lacks a filter element pressure regulation system. This can lead to gas short-circuiting, less effective backwashing, increased complexity in cleaning, and an intermediate filter cloth regeneration effect, resulting in a higher frequency of filter cloth replacement compared to plate and frame and candle filters.

Production Efficiency:

The filter elements come in various specifications, such as 1.6M, 2M, 2.5M, 2.7M, etc. They offer a high number of filter cores per unit volume, resulting in a large filtration area. This, in turn, leads to long filtration cycles. After the filtration cycle, the discharge and cleaning processes are relatively short, allowing for a quick transition to the next filtration cycle. This design contributes to high production efficiency.

In contrast, the blade-supported mesh plates have larger individual areas but a lower quantity of filter elements, resulting in a smaller filtration area. After the filtration cycle, discharging and cleaning processes take longer, and the production efficiency falls between that of plate and frame filters and candle filters.
