In Galvanizing, Anodizing, and pickling operations, the process tank is often referred to as a Flux Tank. Because of this, these industries will often refer to the filter press as a Flux Press.
The Filter Press or Flux Press is used as these process tanks will fill up with solids over time. When this happens the flux process tanks will need to be emptied and the solids will need to be shoveled out. This is costly as the entire tank needs to be drained and sent to wastewater treatment or hauled away. It is also a downtime that leads to a lot of labor.
Fortunately, the Met-Chem Flux Filter Press easily fixes this problem. The flux filter press is connected to this process tank. It will constantly filter the contents of the tank and capture any solids that may begin to enter the tank. Due to the high temperature of these flux tanks the flux filter press will use CPVC or a higher grade material for its plumbing. The press will be sized to process the entire tank at least twice per day.
Met-Chem can design a chemical dosing station suited to fit your treatment needs. The system can include day tanks, mixers, and meterings pumps. Commonly, a chemical dosing station is used to adjust pH levels, and other chemical reactions can be added to treat the feed water. Each chemical dosing station will be specifically designed to fit your exact treatment needs.
Tanks can be equipped with temperature probes, level controls, ph probes, and other measuring devices. Typically a two-stage pH Adjustment system is used to obtain a specific pH Target. The first tank used for the gross adjustment and the second tank is used for fine adjustments. The two-stage pH system is more economical and Saves on Time, Chemicals, and Money.
The control panel allows you to run the system manually, or through an automated cycle process. The optional system can be outfitted with level controls, pH meters, temperature probes, alarms, and other programmable logic controls.
Sludge Dumpsters are used directly under the filter press to catch the sludge that is released from the Filter Press during cleaning. The dumpster is on casters for easy mobility. They are also equipped with forklift tubes for convenient use with a tow motor. The operator can move the dumpster to a roll-off container with the forklift and then pull the release pin for easy emptying. The dumpster can then be snapped back to the upright position and put back under the filter press.
