Bulk filter aid handling

Bulk orders of filter aids are shipped in 40-ton to 50-ton pressure differential cars. The filter aid is generally conveyed from the car to a storage tank of from 75 to 100 tons capacity, using a conventional air conveying pressure system. From the storage tank it may be conveyed to any location within several hundred feet. [Pg.178]

In California, bulk truck shipments are available. These units are provided with self-contained unloading equipment and can be emptied into a storage silo by the driver. A manufacturer s Filtration Specialist should be available to give customers further information on bulk handling systems and on unloading bulk cars. Additional information may be obtained on request from your filter aids suppliers (6). [Pg.178]
