In the pesticide chemical industries, methyl-phosphonic acid n-butyl ester (MPE) is developed, a precursor necessary for the production of the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium, used in the agri-food sector.
For the filtration of the solid particles present in this particular application, Filtration Group had to study changes in the structure of the filter elements to meet the needs of the producers. The solution consists in a customization of a fully automatic R8-10 filter, with backflush cleaning and a special fabric for the filter element.
The installation of a pair of these filters has ensured a much longer life cycle of the plant’s service pumps, as well as an increase in the operational safety of the whole process.
