Buyer’s Notes
Choosing the grade. Hyflow Supercell is a flux-calcined diatomite (permeability 85-105, 0.72-1.1 Darcy). Higher permeability filters faster but passes finer particles; a finer grade clarifies more but filters slower. Pick by your filtrate clarity target.
What to check on the spec sheet. Permeability, retained on 140 and 325 sieve, pH of a 10% slurry (8-11) and moisture. Ask for the permeability figure to compare against alternatives.
Handling and storage. Fine dust contains silica; use a respirator when opening bags and charging pre-coat tanks. Keep bags dry.
Where it is used. Clarification of edible oils, beverages and pharmaceuticals, pool and industrial water filtration, filter-press pre-coat and body feed.
