The Potash Filtering section is dealing with very large quantities of slurry and the quality of this section operation has significant impact on the economics of the whole production.
This comes to light in the production rate, quality of product as well as the rate of breakdowns in the process.

Conducting careful process analysis, together with the client engineers and the production team brought number of improvements such as using unusual means to control process parameters, as well as some inovative process control techniques implementations.

Results:

• Better stability in the filtering process by reducing variability in cake thickness.
• Higher production per filter unit.
• Significant saving in water and electricity consumptions.
• Reduce number of filter units in operation.
