Reliability / Mission Time • RELIABILITY speaks of intended function over time. • MISSION TIME is critical to maximize acid production
Filter Mission Times • Maintenance turnaround to turnaround • Down day to down day (PM the filter) • Scheduled wash cycle to wash cycle • Scheduled cloth change out to cloth change out
Wash Cycle to Wash Cycle Mission Times • Acid production is critical • Interval times arecritical
Cloth Change Mission Times • Acid production is critical • Intervals - Most Critical
Filter Performance Optimization This is mechanical approach for existing tilting pan filters, offering increased mechanical reliability and increased recovery of P₂O₅. Results are, a reduction in maintenance costs and increased production dollars. 18
Objectives for Filter Optimization • Increase acid production • Minimize dilution • Increase P₂O₅ recovery • Lower maintenance costs / Increase mission times • Improve cloth cleaning efficiencies 19
Filter Optimization Step 1 • Initial operational and maintenance benchmarks established. • A detailed study and mapping of the filter is completed.
Filter Optimization Step 2 • Measured data is integrated into the modeling software. • Study of the filter in the “as found” condition begins.
Filter Optimization Step 3 • The filter is accurately modeled in its optimized condition. • Demonstrates the recommended changes
Filter Optimization Step 4 • Client report submittal, steps planned in harmony with client goals • Report includes optimized proposal package. (How can Metalcraft best support changes the client would like to see?)
Components for Optimizing Existing Tilting Pan Filters • Cloth spray headers • Cam roller turnovers • Enlargement of filtration area (pans) • Filter valve timing
