For all industrial processing and manufacturing plants across Canada, keeping up with technology, just like all other plants across the globe, is crucial for productivity, efficiency and survival. Every member of staff in any plant, whether senior or subordinate, marketing or technical, understands just how critical all filtration processes are to plant’s day to day operation. Therefore, one must appreciate the incredible effort the world is witnessing by researchers from various filtration companies. They have recently been making changes to various industrial filters by tweaking them, revamping how they function and coming up with entirely new models that merge the functions of different gadgets into more compact and efficient devices.
Flaws of Outdated Industrial Filtration Systems
According to researchers, when plants fail to upgrade their filtration systems, they encounter several functional constraints. Their processes become hampered; their production efficiency goes up as their operating costs increase due to increased energy consumption to production ratio and loss of revenue in conducting general repairs and maintenance. Therefore, the research findings made a few proposals including but not limited to:
• Plants should conduct an internal analysis of their processes. They indicated that every individual plant’s processes have unique filtration requirements necessitated by the amount and size of particles that have to be separated from other solids and fluids. The single most important filtration decision a plant could make is choosing the right kind of industrial filters to use for its needs. If an analysis finds that the plant has been using an unsuitable system for its filtration needs, the best course of action would be to change it completely. If not, simply update it.
Bag filters may be used by processing plants to separate insoluble solids from liquids. Since almost all plants in the world cannot function without cleaning water before, after, and sometimes, before and after they start their production processes, whether or not bag filters need to be used is never a question. The real question becomes, how can bag filters be used to maximize the process efficiency of a plant and still meet environmental obligations?
Experts recommend that every plant contract internal and external professionals to scrutinize the various needs the plant has in relation to their production process and cross check which among the following uses the plant may have for bag filters:
• Cooling heat emitting systems
• Recycling
• Purification
The bag filter experts can then assist plant staff to make concerted efforts to rehabilitate their filtration systems by placing the right number and sizes of bag filters in positions that bring about optimum productivity.
