Filtration reinvented

Inventa has successfully developed an innovative filtration technology, which allows filtration temperatures of up to 300 °C. Furthermore, no pre-coating of the filter elements is required. The Inventa Hot Filtration Technology can be applied to batch or continuous plant operation and can be operated fully automatic without manual operator intervention.

Chemical processes often require heterogeneous catalysts. The catalyst recovery has traditionally been done by plate and frame or pressure leaf filters. Inventa’s filtration technology utilizes sintered metal filter elements and provides far more superior performance.

Inventa’s sintered metal filtration technology has been successfully applied for the removal and recycling of precious metal catalysts and other catalyst types in the pharmaceutical, specialty chemical and food industry.

Catalyst Type

• Raney Nickel Nickel catalyst
• Palladium catalyst
• Rhodium catalyst
• Copper catalyst Platinum catalyst
• etc.

The Inventa catalyst separation technology allows for an automatic recycling of catalyst into the reactor or an automatic discharge into a spent drum for re-processing. A special heel filter will allow for dry catalyst discharge. Filter elements are easily freed of catalyst cake by using gas or liquid discharge methods and there are no requirements for scrubbing, scraping or rotating filter elements. Contaminants may also be removed with water, steam, nitrogen, solvents, alkaline or acidic washing or ultrasonic. As the sintered metal filter does not require any pre-coating or filter aid, the catalyst is less contaminated and facilitates recycling or metal recovery from spent catalyst.

Circular Industries’ decentralised biofacturing hubs are designed to create synergistic local islands of biofacturing. Its highly integrated infrastructure and operational units are in harmony with nature and deploy most advanced energy material recovery systems. Its proximity to local markets connects both customers and suppliers delivering a minimum carbon foot print for logistics. These integrated facilities deliver benefits that allow companies to save costs.

Circular Industries has developed a fully automated and continuous production process that ensures an efficient, consistent as well as safe manufacturing cycle.

The manufacturing cycle starts with the fermentation of waste material into intermediary substances. From there the substances automatically enter an isolation and purification step, followed directly by the final formulation and packaging step. The whole cycle is continuously overseen by adequate sensors, systems and our experts to ensure consistency, quality and safety of the end product.
