Agrilectric Research Rice Hull Ash Filter Aids with Innovative Technology

From Agrilectric Research- MaxFLO Filtration
 

 

An international chemical company was unhappy with low density, high moisture, sloppy filter cakes from an acid neutralization project. Filter cake production was way above forecast and landfill costs seemed certain to exceed budget. The company changed their filter aid to Agrilectric Research's MaxFlo. Filter cake density increased by 22%. Land fill costs fell by 40% and the project moved forward and 16% below budget.
