Unique porous media. Process filtration expertise. Limitless possibilities.

High-strength, high-performance filtration of liquids and gases. What makes Mott Corporation the company of choice for process filtration. • Uniform, high-precision porosity – Pore size and pore distribution are controlled to create filtration media with distinct porosity characteristics. When it comes to developing efficient, long-lasting process filtration systems, no other company has more experience, and as much to offer, as Mott Corporation. For decades, users of bag, plate-and-frame, and leaf filters have switched over to Mott for the distinct advantages that Mott systems provide. •...

One simple choice, for all kinds of systems. Mott lets you take the best course for your process filtration. There are many ways to approach process filtration. Some companies offer the traditional outside-in method. And a few can incorporate the benefits of all-metal filter elements. But only Mott offers six porous metal filtration designs. An infinite number of ways to design a Mott solution for you. These pages merely provide an overview of the methods of process filtration available from Mott. Once we establish which method is best suited to your application, then we can begin creating...

Four ways to separate solids from liquids. HyPulse® LSI filters incorporate inside-out filtration, a method and design unique to Mott Corporation. At the end of each filter cycle, solids are backwashed off the inside of the elements and discharged as a concentrated slurry or wet cake. Other unique Mott alternatives, HyPulse LSM filters place inside-out filtration within a double open-ended design. High-density solids are allowed to settle directly into the discharge hopper. LSM filters may be operated on a filter/backwash cycle schedule, or can be used as concentrators in a recirculating...

HyPulse LSP filters offer conventional outside-in filtration for polishing low solid streams with solids concentration under 100 ppm. Easy to use and maintain, LSP filters provide reliable, permanent filtration that outperforms other types of media in a number of ways: • Easy access to elements from top HyPulse LSX Process filters provide uninterrupted filter cycle performance through crossflow filtration. Slurries flow through the open-ended filter elements, allowing filtrate to exit the system on a continuous basis while particulate remains in the circulating stream. This is the ideal...

Two ways to remove particulate from gas streams. HyPulse GSP Process filters offer traditional filtration of process gases and steam, for applications where process conditions preclude the use of conventional particulate control devices, cyclones and bag houses. Upon reaching a given differential pressure or cycle time, the feed is discontinued and the backflow cycle is engaged. A flexible, all-purpose method of gas filtration. HyPulse GSV filters are the ideal alternative for applications requiring continuous filter operation. Porous elements, which are manifolded together, are...

Proven performance, real-world effectiveness. Recovering precious-metal catalyst safely, easily, without interruption. One of Europe’s leading chemical manufacturers required the removal of platinum-on-carbon catalyst from a continuous catalytic oxidation reaction. The high cost of the precious-metal catalyst made high-efficiency capture essential. And to enhance productivity further, cleaning operations had to be performed without interruption of process workflow. Mott provided a total of 6 Mott HyPulse LSX crossflow modules arranged in three parallel trains. Each module was engineered to...

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 their investment in equipment. Chemical/Petrochemical. Extreme temperatures, harsh elements and other factors that contribute to hostile environments make Mott porous metal the ideal media for...

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...

Laboratory and design capabilities. Microscopic evaluation in the lab – macroscopic evaluation in the field. For thorough evaluation of new applications, Mott maintains a Development and Testing Laboratory. Both scanning electron and optical microscopes, along with computer-controlled porometers, are used to inspect pore size, shape, and distribution. Particle counters, particle-size analyzers and a fully instrumented test stand are used to evaluate filter performance. Often our laboratory evaluations provide a suitable basis for filter designs. If additional evaluations are recommended,...

Designs by request – creating new Mott solutions. Developing new products has been the cornerstone of Mott’s growth and success. So if the precise solution you require doesn’t yet exist, what may seem a problem could well be an opportunity. If you think of the possibilities, with Mott. Working side-by-side with customers, often applying porous metal where it’s never been applied before, has led to major advancements in controlling costs and increasing manufacturing efficiency. Mott’s HyPulse LSX laboratory filter, in addition to being a small-scale filtration solution in itself, is also...
