Filter cake formation and process stability
Cellulose as a filter aid for industrial filtration
Cellulose is used as a filter aid within industrial filtration processes where a stable filter cake is required.
The material is made from wood pulp and has a fibrous structure that contributes to the formation and stability of the filter cake during the filtration process.
Stable filter cake with low water retention
Due to its fibrous structure, cellulose forms a stable filter cake that retains relatively little water.
These properties make cellulose suitable for filtration processes where control of filter cake formation and process stability are important.
Process conditions and available cellulose solutions
Resistant to different process conditions
Cellulose is non-toxic, biodegradable and resistant to different pH levels and temperatures.
This allows it to be applied within a wide range of industrial filtration processes.
Available for industrial, food and pharmaceutical applications
Profiltra supplies different types of cellulose under the Diacel® brand name for industrial, food and pharmaceutical applications.
In addition, a special grade is available consisting of a blend of diatomaceous earth and cellulose.
