Filtrate Clarification System

Filtrate Clarification System

Filtrate coming from vacuum filter is very low in purity, rich in gums and non-sugars. This filtrate is directed towards the mixed juice, and it will have adverse effect in processing. Thus a new system has been developed by Shrijee to clarify the filtrate in separate stream suitable to produce clear filtrate equivalent to clear juice.

Advantages:

• Rise in boiling house recovery.
• Rise in filtrate juice purity by 2-4 units.
• Increase in clarification house capacity by 5-10%.
• Improvement in performance and capacity of vacuum filter.
• Reduction in colour.
• Increase in clear juice transmittance 5-7%.
• Reduction of scale in sulphited juice heaters.
