Comparison of The Application Characteristics of Basket Filters in Chemical Production Facilities of Different Scales

Application Characteristics in Production Facilities of Different Scales 

(1) Small-scale Production Facilities

1.Flow Requirements: Small-scale production facilities usually have a relatively small flow rate and do not have high requirements for the filtration area of the filter.

2.Impurity content: The impurity content is relatively low, but it has a high requirement for filtration accuracy. 

3. Maintenance requirements: The maintenance frequency is relatively high, and the filter basket needs to be disassembled and replaced quickly. 

4. Applicability: Basket filters are mainly used for fine filtration in small-scale production facilities, such as the filtration of chemical reagents and intermediates. 

5. Case: In a fine chemical laboratory, basket filters are used to filter chemical reaction solutions to ensure the accuracy of experimental results. 

(2) Medium-scale production facilities

1.Flow Requirements: Medium-scale production facilities have a moderate flow rate and certain requirements for the filtration area of the filter. 

2. Impurity content: The impurity content is moderate and has certain requirements for the filter's holding capacity. 

3. Maintenance requirements: The maintenance frequency is moderate, and the filter basket needs to be disassembled and cleaned regularly. 

4. Applicability: Basket filters are widely used in medium-scale production facilities for filtering raw material liquids, reaction liquids, etc., to protect downstream equipment. 

5. Case: On a medium-sized chemical production line, basket filters are used to filter the materials in the reaction vessels, ensuring the purity of the materials and protecting the subsequent equipment. 

(3) Large-scale production facilities

1.Flow Requirements: Large-scale production facilities have a large flow rate, which requires a high filtration area of the filter. 

2. Impurity content: The impurity content is relatively high, which requires a high capacity of the filter to hold impurities. 

3. Maintenance requirements: The maintenance frequency is relatively low, but each maintenance lasts for a long time, and efficient equipment cleaning is needed. 

4. Applicability: Basket filters are mainly used for coarse filtration in large-scale production facilities, such as the filtration of crude oil and seawater. 

5. Case: In large petrochemical enterprises, basket filters are used to filter crude oil, remove sediment and impurities from it, and protect pipeline systems and equipment.
