Filter Cake Breaker

How Filter Cake Breaker works

1.Physical Disintegration: Direct mechanical disruption of the filter cake, such as using scrapers, vibrators or other mechanical devices to directly act on the filter cake layer and peel it off the filter media.
2.Chemical Disintegration: Use of chemical agents, such as enzymes or acids, to break down binders in the filter cake or change the structure of the filter cake to make it easier to remove. For example, the MUDSOLV NG integrated filter cake removal service uses innovative analytical tools, engineering solutions and novel disintegrators to completely remove the most stubborn filter cakes.
3.Hydraulic Cleaning: The use of high-pressure water jets to flush the filter cake to remove solid particles from the filter cake. This method is suitable for certain types of filter cakes and filter media.
4.Thermal Treatment: Use of heat to reduce the stickiness or strength of the filter cake, making it easier to break up and remove. For example, the Baroid N-FLOW™ system uses a soluble filter cake cleaning system that slowly releases organic acids to increase yields and reduce health, safety and environmental risks.
