Cake Forming Porosity Analyzer

This is a unique instrument capable of creating filter cakes in situ on filtration media and characterizing the pore structure of the media both with and without the cake layer.

Cake Forming Porosity Analyzer

Overview

This is a unique instrument capable of creating filter cakes in situ on filtration media and characterizing the pore structure of the media both with and without the cake layer.

The system enables cake formation under a wide range of controlled test conditions, allowing realistic simulation of filtration processes. It is designed for cost-effective analysis of cake filtration behaviour and for the development and optimization of filtration technologies.

  • 3 Sample Chambers for: Pore Size Distribution; Cake Forming; Liquid Permeability
  • Capable of forming cakes under user specified: pressure; flow rate; concentration
  • Cleaning of system to prevent clogging
  • Ability to measure pore structure characteristics, including: Bubble point; Mean flow pore diameter; Pore distribution; Liquid permeability
  • Full automation for repeatable results obtainable without much operator involvement
