3 HiBar - Continuous Pressure and Steam Pressure BOKELA HiBar is the most modern technology for continuous pressure filtration with drum or disc filters. HiBar offers unique solutions when fine particles need to be filtered, when cleanest products or lowest cake moisture contents are demanded, when high process pressures and high temperatures have to be adhered or when contaminations have to be avoided. BOKELA HiBar Steam Pressure is an innovative hybrid process, developed by BOKELA. HiBar Steam Pressure enables completely new process solutions in many applications and is exclusively supplied by BOKELA. BOKELA HiBar Oyster Filter The HiBar Oyster Filter (drum or disc filter) has been designed for challenging separation tasks in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and life science industry. Suspensions can be filtered, washed and dried even high temperatures and high pressures. Unique processes like HiBar Steam Pressure and counterpressure filtration can be realised with the HiBar Oyster Filter. The HiBar Oyster Filter is characterised by: pressure up to 7 bar, abs (in special applications up to 15 bar, abs) temperature up to 150 C (in special applications up to T > 200 C) vertically opening pressure vessel fully automated operation from filter start to filter stop BOKELA HiBar Steam Pressure HiBar Steam Pressure is an innovative hybrid process, developed and patented by BOKELA. By combining mechanical and thermal drying processes, synergy effects are activated which are responsible for vital advantages: extremely low cake moisture contents pure solids through highly effective cake washing significant process simplification by reduction of process steps. HiBar Steam Pressure is exclusively designed and supplied by BOKELA. BOKELA HiBar Horizontal Filter HiBar with horizontal pressure vessels is applied for the continuous pressure filtration or steam pressure filtration of bulk materials as for instance concentrates from ore, coal or minerals preparation, tailings as well as basic materials from the chemical and food industry. The horizontal vessel design enables the installation of big filter units of up to 168 m² filter area in the pressure vessel. HiBar standard filters are operated with pressure differences up to 6 bar (7 bar,abs).

4 Continuous Rotary Vacuum Filters BOKELA disc filters, drum filters and pan filters are modern high performance filters with innovative design outstanding hydraulic capacity, reliable filter operation and low maintenance demand. They represent a new generation of continuous rotary vacuum filters. BOKELA Boozer Disc Filter With their outstanding hydraulic performance, the BOKELA Boozer disc filters set new standards. They are characterised by an unparalleled high performance, extremely large specific filter surface and robustness. BOKELA Boozer disc filters are especially used for the filtration and dewatering of great slurry feed rates, like: alumina hydrate at the preparation of bauxite (seed filtration) coal ultra fines concentrates from ore & minerals preparation tailings. BOKELA Drum Filter The modern BOKELA drum filters represent a new generation of vacuum drum filters with innovations like exchangeable filter cells (single cell design). They guarantee a top performance in challenging applications for filtration, washing and dewatering. Numerous design variants with different methods for cake removal, a wide range of filter sizes and different accessories allow an ideal adaptation to individual product and process demands for the application in industries reaching from chemical, food, pharmaceutical and energy industry up to the raw materials industry. BOKELA Pan Filter BOKELA pan filters are mainly used for the filtration and washing of coarse material or rapidly settling suspensions. Typical areas of application are: alumina hydrate at the preparation of bauxite (product filtration) potash iron ore and other ore concentrates minerals and salts fertilisers chemical products.

5 Crossflow The BOKELA DYNO Filter is a dynamic crossflow filter for microfiltration, ultrafiltration, diafiltration or sieve filtration. The BOKELA DYNO Filter permits unique performances in absolute separation, thickening, washing, clarification and classification of viscous or highly concentrated suspensions. Multiple patent rights confirm the outstanding position of this technology. BOKELA DYNO Membrane Filter Dynamic membrane filtration with the BOKELA DYNO Membrane Filter is a unique and versatile high performance crossflow filtration process for microfiltration, ultrafiltration and diafiltration of micro- to nano-sized suspensions. In continuous operation the DYNO Filter solves challenges like absolute separation of particles thickening washing with high throughput rates even with highly concentrated or very viscous suspensions. BOKELA DYNO Sieve Filter Dynamic sieve filtration with the BOKELA DYNO Sieve Filter is a new process for the separation of coarse particles from dispersions and suspensions of fine particles in continuous operation: sieving of highly viscous and highly concentrated dispersions and suspensions sharp sieve cut high throughput rates continuous and closed system. Backflush The BOKELA Backflush Filter is an automatically operating pressure filter (polishing filter or police filter) for clear filtration / polishing filtration of low concentrated process liquids. High feed rates of process liquids with a low level of solid impurities ranging from 100 mg/l to 300 mg/l can be clarified with high specific throughput. Typical areas of application are the clarification of: alumina hydroxide solution in the Bayer-process electrolyte solutions in metal preparation process liquids in the chemical, food and life science industry filter additives.

6 Services Users of solid/liquid separation technologies in nearly all industrial sectors trust in our know-how and our competence and esteem BOKELA as top-address in solid/liquid separation. On the basis of a profound knowledge about the physics of suspensions and many years of experience in the construction and operation of separation plants, BOKELA offers a complete portfolio of services. Consulting - Accurate Analysis and New Solutions With comprehensive know-how, many years of practical experience and market overview, BOKELA advises users of solid/liquid separation technologies in nearly all industrial sectors and creates new process solutions: developing and planning of new separation processes and equipment analysing and solving of operational problems (trouble shooting) comparison of technologies and calculation of profitability optimisation of existing separation plants Product Testing in Lab Scale and Pilot Plant Scale BOKELA operates a generously equipped test field with specifically developed testing equipment in lab scale up to pilot scale to determine separation characteristics of suspensions. With only little effort and with a small product sample, but with a lot of know-how and a unique practical experience in carrying out of filtration tests, we examine the separation behaviour of suspensions and determine the relevant performance data and parameters for different separation processes. Filter Revamping - 3 Steps to Improved Performance Step 1 Diagnostic Step 2 Engineering Step 3 Realistaion Before revamping After revamping The optimisation and modernisation of filter plants with the BOKELA Filter Revamping Programme is the fastest and most economic option to overcome bottlenecks and to prepare existing filter plants for improved operation and new production targets. Filter Revamping is typically structured into three phases: diagnosis, engineering and realisation. The benefits of this engineering performance are convincing: increase of the filter capacity of up to 135% costs savings and improved product quality through improved filter performance short-term realisation minimal costs for modification of the peripheries or additional equipment. Numerous references make BOKELA world-wide the No.1 in filter optimisation.
