Chemical Engineering February 2023 - 37

Show Preview
Filtech 2023
Filtech 2023, which takes place on
February 14-16 at the Cologne, Germany
fairgrounds, will feature more
than 440 exhibitors and a major international
conference. There are also
two short courses being offered on
February 13: A one-day course on
solid-liquid separation, and a oneday
course on fine-dust separation.
Among the innovations being exhibited
at the show are those dealing
with air filtration, fine dust values and
gases that affect the climate, as well
as germs that are harmful to health
and other impacts. Solids separation
and solid-liquid separation are also
being highlighted, with new developments
striving for maximum efficiency
and higher product qualities. The following
are a few examples of products
being exhibited at Filtech 2023.
A membrane module for
wastewater-treatment plants
The BIO-CEL M+ membrane module
(photo) is optimized for use in mobile and
medium-sized wastewater-treatment
plants (<1,000 m³/d). It fits perfectly into
a High Cube container (for decentralized
and mobile wastewater-treatment
plants), which allows the construction
of extremely compact decentralized
wastewater-treatment plants. The module
is submerged in aerobic bioreactors
where it filters bacteria and solids. This
function makes a wastewater-treatment
plant more efficient, as the footprint
of the plant is reduced by 50 to 60%
compared to a conventional wastewater
treatment plant, the company
says. BIO-CEL M+200 can produce an
average of 75 m³/d of filtrate and treat
the wastewater of 480 PE (population
equivalent). This corresponds to the
wastewater of about 115 households.

This air-treatment system uses
anti-microbial filter elements
The pandemic highlighted the importance
of effective ventilation systems,
including for schools, offices,
restaurants, theaters and exhibition
centers. With its comprehensive portfolio
of ventilation and air-conditioning
systems, this company provides a
tailored solution for each of these
challenges. This company is a global
leader in the development and manufacture
of components, appliances
and systems for indoor air conditioning
and ventilation. The company uses
antibacterial polyurethane systems
from Rampf Polymer Solutions and
the DR-CNC dispensing robot from
RAMPF Production Systems to seal,
cast and bond its air filters (see story
below). It uses a RAKU PUR twocomponent
adhesive to manufacture
its new X-CUBE X2 series of air handling
units (photo). The new air-handling
unit (HVAC) X-CUBE X2 can be
configured for virtually any application.

Material and machine from
a single source
The DR-CNC dispensing robot
(photo) is used to process this company's
rigid foam system for sealing
the filter elements. Features include
highly adaptable X-Y-Z axis strokes
and state-of-the-art control technology
that combines the mixing and
dispensing system perfectly with the
maintenance-free CNC linear axes.
The result is flawless interplay between
the dispensing process and
motion sequences. The bonding
system that joins the individual components
of the sandwich panels has
a short curing time, exceptional mechanical
strength and high temperature
and chemical resistance. The
company has collaborated with TROX
(see story above) to develop highperformance
polyurethane filtration
systems that are tailored perfectly to
the relevant application requirements.

Metallic filter media in
dynamic crossflow filtration
In contrast to classic crossflow filtration,
in dynamic crossflow filtration
with the BoCross filters (photo, p. 38),
the typical tangential overflow of the
filter surface is not generated by the
geometric flow control in the apparatus,
but by rotors. This principle offers
