Hyflo
“Hyflo” typically refers to Hyflo Supercel, a brand name for a type of diatomaceous earth (DE).
What is Diatomaceous Earth (DE)?
- Natural Material: DE is a naturally occurring, siliceous sedimentary rock composed of the fossilized remains of diatoms (single-celled algae).
- Composition: Primarily composed of silica (silicon dioxide).
Hyflo Supercel in Water Treatment:
- Filter Aid: Hyflo Supercel is commonly used as a filter aid in water treatment processes.
- How it Works: It’s added to the water being filtered to improve the performance of the filtration process.
- It forms a porous bed within the filter medium.
- This bed helps to trap suspended solids, improving the clarity and quality of the filtered water.
Key Properties of Hyflo Supercel as a Filter Aid:
- High Porosity: Provides a large surface area for particle capture.
- Inertness: Chemically inert, minimizing the risk of contamination of the filtered water.
- High Flow Rate: Allows for efficient filtration with minimal pressure drop.
Other Applications:
- Food Processing: Used in the filtration of various food and beverage products.
- Industrial Processes: Used in various industrial applications, such as chemical processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Hyflo Supercel is a valuable tool in water treatment and other industries due to its excellent filtration properties and versatility.
