Mott Lab Scale Testing Service Leads to
Successful Filtration Diagnosis and Project Scale-Up

FARMINGTON, CT [June, 2004] - Extensive knowledge of physical separation processes is critical to successful filtration projects, but nothing works as well as actual demonstration and experimentation. This is easier said than done when dealing with dangerous or potentially volatile products. Years of experience in laboratory scale-up testing has enabled Mott Corporation to offer customers a simple, inexpensive way to effect liquid-solid and gas-solid separations under either pressure or vacuum operation. Mott’s unique bench-top 70mm disc filter offers an impressive array of benefits.

Feasibility testing and small-scale, batch-type processes are the frequent first steps to larger pilot and process systems, or more importantly, quickly and efficiently validate or eliminate a potential filtration solution. Liquid-solid and gas-solid separations are often critical operations and require precise calculations. Mott 70mm disc filter offers the ability to collect complete performance data including flow versus delta p, cake characteristics, backwash ability, cake-washing efficiencies, solids capture rating and estimated cycle times. The compact design is easily assembled and the stainless steel construction can accommodate a wide range of environments, including temperatures to 250 F (121 C), pressures to 150 psig, as well as vacuums to around14.7 psig).

Since 1959, Mott Corporation has manufactured a variety of filtration and related devices from sintered porous metal. It serves industrial and high purity customers worldwide through such industries as chemical, petrochemical, refinery, pharmaceutical, instrumentation, semiconductor, food and beverage, and power.
