Filtration Products, Equipment, and Services
Our filtration process equipment package consists of a filter press, pre-coat slurry tank, powder handling unit, and cartridge filter unit to provide continuous filtering of solids-free completion fluid. The system has a small footprint designed for operational efficiency while offering a safe working environment.
IDEC has the complete filtration package, the Twin Vessel/Cartridge unit and the Filter Press/DE unit which are merely devices that allow us to position the media so a viable amount of fluid can flow through the media, the more filter area the higher the filtration flow rate can be achieved.
Types of Filtration Equipment
The Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Filter Press:
This unit is the work horse in the offshore brine filtration world; it can handle relatively high levels of solids contamination. The DE filtration system can remove as much as 90% to 95% of particulate down to 2 microns in size. A typical 1200 sqft DE filter press has a maximum flow rate of 12 to 15 Barrels Per Minute (BPM).
