Perlite
BECOLITE 3000 perlite is produced from perlite (vulcanized glass) via a process of sudden heating and distension. The perlite particles are standardized to a precisely defined size via a process of grinding and sifting. BECOLITE 3000 perlite is virtually free from non-filtering particles such as fine dust, grit and floaters (= closed pored, floating particles).
Advantages
- Particularly cost-effective due to long filter operating life and high flow capacity
- Formation of a fissure-free, homogenous filter cake guarantees reliable filtration
- Virtually free from non-filtering particles
- Highest possible purity, safe in accordance with German and EU directives
Application
BECOLITE is used as follows:
- In tank filter presses for drainage and improving permeability of sludge
- In sheet- and boiler filters for powder filtration in combination with other filtration aids and additives (BECOGUR™ diatomaceous earth, BECOCEL™ filter cellulose, BECOFLOC® filter flakes)
- For base coating in diatomite filtration
BECOLITE is continually monitored in the laboratory to ensure consistently high product quality levels.
