METHOD FOR CLEANING FILTER SEPARATION SYSTEMS

摘要

High shear separations of suspensions and colloid suspensions may be preformed using a fouling reduction agent to optimize the separations. The fouling reduction agents are solids. Exemplary of such solids are powdered cellulose, clays, diatomaceous earth and the like. Process streams which may treated include refinery process waste water, chemical process waste water, food processing waste water, power generation waste water, chemical product streams, and chemical intermediate streams.
