Third Coast Terminals offers a variety of filtration capabilities including: Cuno Filtrations, Carbon Bed Filtrations, nominal 5 - 100 micron Bag Filtrations (ambient & high temperature) with all stainless exterior construction and we are now adding “Sparkler” polishing - liquid filtration capabilities.

Sparkler Filters; with a laboratory model filter for pre-screening filtering operations, and a full size plant model with a scale-up ratio of approximately 1 to 120 by filtration surface area. Stainless steel horizontal plate filters, designed for polishing and for secure filtration of liquids with limited solids content are being installed. Both plant and lab model filters are capable of developing differential pressures to 50 PSID with plenty of safety margin below designed pressure ratings.

The stainless steel horizontal plate filter is compatible with any kind of filter media (fabric, metallic wire cloth, or filter paper) and all types of filter aids. Customer benefits include:
- A wide variety of filtration media for product customization is available with filter support sizes from 3 to 22 micron with many filtering aids and de-colorants accessible.
- Small scale pre-screening, separation methods development and enhanced R&D testing available.
- There is almost a complete recovery of filtrate via scavenger plate, minimizing product losses.
