Results with a Multi Stage System of Filtration Employing a Cyclone

Abstract:

The development of a new prototype multi stage filter was described at TMS 2008 in which a ceramic foam filter was applied in a first chamber operating in cake mode; grain refiner added in a second chamber and a cyclone deployed in a final chamber to ensure removal of any oxides or agglomerates arising from the grain refiner addition or release events from the foam filter. The first industrial prototype was installed at Trimet Aluminium at Essen in Germany and demonstrated that liquid metal could pass through the cyclone successfully without excessive turbulence or splash. The further development of the prototype based on new water modeling work is described.
