Scale buildup on filter bags can restrict liquor flow and limit alumina security filtration capacity. Join the upcoming webinar hosted by AL Circle x Sefar Group’s filtration specialists, “A Breakthrough in Alumina Security Filtration Performance: Discover how a new patent-pending filter fabric significantly increases flow rate and service life“.
Luc Parent, Innovation Manager, Process Filtration and Sylvain Vieuille, Global Technical Coordinator, Minerals, in the webinar will present findings from full-scale refinery trials, examine the implications for production and maintenance and discuss how more stable flow can create operational value for alumina refineries.
What the webinar will cover
The webinar will cover how scale buildup restricts liquor flow and shortens filter bag life, how SEFAR® X-TREME limits scale adhesion while maintaining solids capture, and what full-scale trials in Kelly and Diastar filters reveal about long-term flow stability. It will also examine how stable flow can support higher filtration capacity with existing equipment and the potential implications for cleaning requirements, bag replacement and operational reliability.
Why does this webinar matter?
This webinar matters for alumina refinery teams evaluating capacity, maintenance and reliability in security filtration:
- Identify a capacity constraint and see how declining bag permeability can limit production before the filter reaches its design capacity.
- Assess the evidence and review operating data and fabric analysis from refinery trials, including how changing process conditions affect comparisons.
- Consider maintenance impact and explore how reduced scale adhesion will affect cleaning and bag replacement.
- Connect results to your plant and understand which operating conditions matter when evaluating potential capacity gains.
Who should attend the webinar?
This webinar is for alumina refinery professionals involved in the Bayer process, particularly:
- Production and plant managers
- Process and filtration engineers
- Maintenance and reliability managers
- Technical services and continuous improvement teams
- Engineers evaluating Kelly or Diastar filter performance
Conclusion
Understanding how scale resistance influences filtration performance can help alumina refineries identify opportunities to improve flow stability, manage maintenance requirements and unlock capacity within existing equipment. Register for the upcoming webinar by AL Circle and Sefar to gain insights from full-scale refinery trials and evaluate the operational potential of SEFAR® X-TREME in security filtration.
