Benefits of MaxFLO™filter aids include key properties, process advantages, and worker and environmental safety.

Key Properties

• Excellent suspension and dispersion properties
• 90% Amorphous silicon dioxide
• <1% Crystalline silica (avg.), which reduces crystalline silica-related health concerns
• Low carbon and metal oxide content
• Highly porous 'micro-filter' particles
• Low cake compactability
• Absorption capacity 65-80% by volume
• pH of 6.5 to 8.0
  

Process Advantages

• Fast flowing, clear filtrate
• Low pressure, low energy filtration
• Higher filter press cycle rate
• Helps break problematic emulsions, yielding filterable sludge
• Metals contamination solved with patented and proven technologies
• Improve product flow, clarity and yield
• Custom tailored filtration solutions

Filter Cake

• Drier filter cakes decrease landfill costs
• Based on filtrate, can qualify for "Fuels Program" incineration
• Yield higher BTU values than alternative filter aids
• Filter cakes release easily, and are easy to handle

Worker and Environmental Safety

MaxFlo™ products contain less than 1% of crystalline silica (avg.), the Majority of which is non-respirable. This is a significant advantage for worker safety compared with products with 10% to 80% crystalline silica content. In addition, MaxFlo™ products are made from renewable resources and are generated as part of a highly sustainable, agricultural-based production cycle. The products not only help in the filtration and proper disposal of industrial waste products, but are themselves part of the environmental solution, not the problem.
