Pressure Leaf Filters

Durco Filters Pressure Leaf Filters efficiently handle high-flow and batch operations with less than 2% solids. They use permanent filter leaves inside a pressure vessel, often combined with Diatomaceous Earth (DE) to improve filtration and clarity. Their design supports high flow rates, reaching up to 2 gallons per minute per square foot of filter area.

Horizontal Vessels

 

  • Most typical configuration.
  • Used when maximum surface area for filtration is required

Vertical Vessels

 

 

  • Used when floor space is limited
  • When flow is intermittent, horizontal leaves can be used

Nutsche Filters

 

  • Used when the cake is the product and needs to be recovered
  • Allows multiple steps including cake washing in one vessel
