Kingsnorth Power Station makes use of Airpel filters

refurbished -the existing liltration equipment was obsolete and spare parts were beccming hard to fmd. This entails replacing the heavy fuel oil filtration system that controls the qualiw of oil flowing from the central fuel tanks to the boilers, with Vi fully automatic self-cleaning filters supplied by Airpel Filtration. A total of eight filters will be used, two servicing each boiler. One of the reasons that these were chosen was because of their highly efficient filtration levels, whilst minimising both disruption to ilow and liquid loss during

Power Station in North East Kent is unique because it is the only 2000 MW dual-fired power staGon designed to use either coai or heavy fuel oil at full load. It was built in the early 1970s and is curr+.&ly being

Benchtop filter meets researchers’ needs

simplified use and a larger selection of membranes. The self - contained unit utilioes 62cm2 of membrane area and only requires a simple connection to a standard laboratory tubing pump for fast rangential processing of 60 ml - 1000 ml batch solutions with less than Sml iwld- up volume. Since the membrane is totally encapsulated in the device, there is no risk of membrane damage due to handling and it is ideal for biohazard processing.

The Mini - Ultrasette from FCltron is a tangential flow laboratory device incorporating either an ultrafiltration or microfiltration membrane. Ic was developed to meet the needs of researchers requiring faster and precise concentration, purification and desalination of a small volume of liquid. Compared with stirred cell devices or dialysis membranes the benchtop filter provides higher recoveries, faster sample processing,

Due to the high flow rates and viscosity of tile fuel oil supplied, specially Pinforced 316 stainless steel wedge wire elements were designed. Airpel Filtration, Airpel Works, Chiltern Hill, Chaffont St Peter, Buckinghamshire SL9 9TN (UK)

The SLS solid-liquid separator from Osprey is designed to remove at least 95% of particles from a water/solids slurry or sludge. It is a modular unit, that is said to have been particularly effective with fibrous effluent and is delivered pre-wired with an integral control panel. Slurry is pumped onto a moving screen, the water draining through to leave the solids behind. The water is assisted in its drainage passage in two ways. The first uses a low vacuum Filtration & Seperatlon
