DrM to open a new office in Malaysia

/by

DrM AG has created a new division called DrM South East Asia (SEA). Its office will be located in Seri Kembangan, in the Southern suburbs of Kuala Lumpur. The purpose of establishing the office here is to provide better regional support for regional sales agents, develop closer connections to the local markets and provide locally based customer support, including testing, spare parts and after-sales services. Opportunities in other emerging South East Asian markets such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos will be further investigated and developed. From the positive market reaction experienced in China following the establishment of both DrM Shanghai and DrM India, it is fully expected that this move will significantly improve DrM’s customer relations and business opportunities in the South East Asian region.

DrM develops the CONTIBAC® RX filter

/by

DrM develops the CONTIBAC® RX filter for thickening of fine solids in low concentration.

 

Background

In Solid-Liquid Separation fine particles often appear as suspensions of large volumes with a low solid

s concentration. The large filtration area required to handle such streams is resulting in large filter housings, structures, plant footprints and corresponding high CAPEX and OPEX.

The CONTIBAC®RX allows to work with up to four times more filter area than traditional solutions.

Typical applications

Silicon slicing coolant recycling

Chlor Alkali brine polishing

Solids recycling from various effluents

 

Design Features and Benefits

Long service life

Low maintenance

Low spare parts cost

Low energy consumption

Submicron particle retention

Scaleable system with 10 and 15 m2 modules

DrM develops the CONTIBAC® XF SIKA Crossflow filter

/by

DrM develops the CONTIBAC® XF SIKA Crossflow filter for continuous catalyst recycle from slurry hydrogenation reactors. The ideal combination with FUNDABAC® R for catalyst purge removal.

 

Background

Heterogeneous hydrogenation is widely applied in many fine chemical, pharmaceutical, and food sectors and is one of many process steps in chemical synthesis. Often, such processes are batch oriented where each batch is treated individually. The FUNDABAC® candle filter has traditionally played an important role in the recovery of noble metal or Ra-Ni catalyst as it accomplishes complete batch integrity. For the recovery of catalyst in continuous operations, the simple design of the CONTIBAC® XF SIKA crossflow filter allows easy integration especially in loop-type hydrogenation reactors.

 

Design Features and Benefits

DrM has teamed up with GKN Sinter Metals Filters GmbH, a leader in the field of sintered metal, to offer the CONTIBAC® XF SIKA crossflow filter. This unit comprises a set of sintered metal tubes in a tube sheet arrangement where the liquid passes each tube wall at a velocity that prevents formation of a particle layer. A portion of the liquid passes through the porous sintered metal tubes and leaves it free of solids.

  • Fine pore size
