- Vmax
V-MAX is a coreless filter that flows from the inside-to-outside like a bag filter but offers the same online life as a bag filter in a vessel that is roughly half the diameter. This is possible since the V-MAX design offers up to ten times the available filtration media in the same element envelope. V-MAX Technology is a novel, and new category of solid-liquid separation, called Coreless Filtration, that was pioneered by Pentair. It enables purification of solid-contaminated streams, offering high-purity, rapid, single-pass processing, while simultaneously reducing overall operating expense and improving operator ergonomics.
Benefits
- V-MAX technology offers the same online life as a bag filter in a vessel that is roughly half the diameter.
- It provides up to ten times the available filtration media in the same element envelope.
- Reduces overall operating expense and improves operator ergonomics.
- Can be upgraded from conventional bag filters, stacked disks, and leaf filters.
- Offers 3 – 5 times longer online life at similar effluent fluid quality.
- Purification time can be reduced by up to 90% during batch filtration or drumming operations.
- Enables rapid and easy element installation and replacement.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
-
The V-MAX coreless elements utilize high-performance media technology to allow very high efficiency removal of contaminants. It is constructed to allow effective use to high differential pressure. The design of the system enables rapid and easy element installation and replacement. The innovative media technology and the opportunity for effective single-pass purification allow V-MAX purification time to be reduced by up to 90% when performing batch filtration or drumming operations.

RELATED APPLICATIONS
The key aspects of an alkylation unit pertain to the amount of acid that needs to be made-up on a continuing basis. This cost becomes even more critical if the plant has no onsite acid regeneration, or the acid consumption exceeds the acid regeneration capacity.
Reactor products can contain gelatinous, deformable solids form in coating formulation. Batch Process: Limited reactor turn-over (constrained through-put) due to long filtration process. Reduce operating costs and batch cycle time, double capacity and increase online life.
Silicones are inert, synthetic compounds with a variety of forms and uses. Typically heat-resistant and rubber-like, they are used in sealants, adhesives, lubricants, medical applications, cookware, and insulation.
Deep Well facilities for the disposal of plant waste streams often employ nominally rated spray spun elements, bags, diatomaceous earth filters, and various other types of conventional filtration technology.
Many lube oil recovery processes create aqueous and hydrocarbon emulsions that are difficult to separate by means of conventional liquid/liquid separations technology.
Hydrocarbons in the sour water system are typically present on a continuous basis at up to 10,000 ppm and during upsets to levels greater than 50,000 ppm.
There are a number of factors that affect the capacity and operation of a typical amine system. Solid or liquid contaminants in the system may cause foaming. The presence of foaming is typically addressed by the addition of expensive antifoam chemicals and/or by reducing the operating capacity of the amine system.
Eliminate hydrocarbons in Quench Water system, minimize fouling, provide greater system reliability, lower maintenance, lower energy costs.
Product custody transfer involves a number of processes, all of which are intended to meet transfer specifications in terms of water, particulate and metals.
The key to optimizing a hydroprocessing unit is to maximize the life of the catalyst bed and increase energy efficiency of the furnaces.
There are two basic steps to the treatment of natural gas liquids in the natural gas stream. First, the liquids must be extracted from the natural gas. Second, these NGLs must be separated themselves.
Until recently, the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) market was a relatively small part of the gas processing world. The market has experienced a transformation fueled by the discovery of vast reserves in North America, Asia’s robust economic growth, larger populations, and the demand for cleaner energy.
