Met-Chem offers a Filter Press Rental program. This program is designed to fulfill an immediate dewatering need, or a filter press to conduct Pilot Testing.
We often provide filter press rentals when customers are
A Filter Press Rental allows you to test your dewatering process, before you purchase costly equipment. By testing your wastewater process you can more accurately scale and measure capacity.
If it is uncertain which filter press and media will be needed for the correct application, we can run a Lab Filter Press Test. With less than a gallon* of your typical wastewater, we can see if a filter press will provide the desired result. We will then send you the filtrate (liquid) as well as the solids that we are able to separate from your waste stream. This will also help us to determine whether or not a filter aid will be required for your slurry. The filter press test can also provide information enabling us to estimate the percentage of solids in order to properly size a unit.

*We cannot accept samples larger than 1 gallon. Larger samples will be refused by our shipping department.
Met-Chem’s Filter Press Feasibility Test is our most popular and common test conducted in our lab. This test is performed to ensure that a filter press is able to filter solids properly with your specific application. The test will allow us to determine cloth sizing and if any filter aid will be required for your slurry.

In the diagram below, Met-Chem was able to take a sample slurry and filter the liquid from the solids.
For applications where the lab testing must be larger than what our traditional test can offer or that must be run at a customer’s jobsite Met-Chem is pleased to offer our ½ cubic foot rental filter press. The unit is a manual hydraulic filter press with 3 gasketed filter press plates. Each plate is 470mm. The filter press is mounted onto a skid and includes the air operated diaphragm pump and all the necessary plumbing.
Met-Chem can run a customer’s 55 gallon drum of material at our facility. The customer is invited to come and watch the test to view the results, learn how a filter press operates, and to see our manufacturing facility.
Met-Chem can also rent out this filter press so it can be shipped and operated at a customer’s site. Since the unit is skidded it is easy to move and to put into place. All you need to do is connect to your source and you are ready to run the filter press.
