Handling the most rigorous industrial conditions.

While applications including high temperatures and corrosive environments are Mott’s specialty, any pressure-driven filtration process with high operating costs is a potential opportunity for applying our products. We provide each customer with the best solution to their process specifications, improving efficiency as well as protecting the investment of their equipment.

Refinery.

Mott filter systems can be desgined to handle high flow rates in continuous operations typical in refinery applications. Hot hydrocarbon streams such as FCCU slurry oil, often require removal of catalysts and other particulate.

Removal of catalyst fines and other particulate not only improve the oil product, it also improves downstream operating equipment by preventing fouling and reducing maintenance.

Chemical/Petrochemical.

Extreme temperatures, harsh elements and other factors that contribute to hostile environments make Mott porous metal the ideal media for chemical/petrochemical filtration applications. Elements sintered from 100% stainless steel, nickel, or Hastelloy offer unsurpassed chemical compatibility, and the ability to withstand years of continuous use under the worst conditions. Typical applications include:

• Polishing of corrosive liquids and gases
• Process steam filtration
• Precoat filtration
• Catalyst retention, fluid bed reactors
• Catalyst recovery, slurry phase reactors
• High-temperature liquids and gases
• Cryogenic fluids
• Solvents, ketones, esters, amines, liquid hydrocarbons, polymers
• Guard filtration for fixed bed reactor

And the strictest processing standards.

Food and Beverage.

Stainless steel, our standard material of construction, is also the material of choice in food processing. So we’re very much at home in designing systems for the food and beverage industry. Our ability to create fully automated systems that withstand high temperatures and support frequent and thorough cleaning has been applied to a variety of applications such as:

• Process steam filtration
• Catalyst recovery from hydrogenation reactors
• Polishing of syrups, liquors and other liquids
• Catalyst removal from flavor ingredients and other food specialties
• Activated carbon removal, decolorization

Pharmaceutical.

As in food processing, Mott is helping pharmaceutical companies maximize productivity. Mott products are used in decolorization, steam filtration and catalyst recovery.
