| A
test with a S Type Filstar. A 15 litre
tank of water was used. Particles of carbonised silicon
(10 to 20 microns) were mixed with the water. The liquid
was recycled through Filstar at 15 litres each minute.
The beakers show the result. |
 |
 |
Separation
of over
98% was achieved. |
|
| This
performance level could formerly only be achieved by using
many small diameter hydrocyclones at a much higher capital
cost. Even then Filstar produces more cleared liquid and
solids containing much less liquid. |
