Advantages of the Vacuum Dewatering Bed System (VDBS)
Application of 24” Hg vacuum allows for heavy loadings resulting in small media surface area required
Tough non-clog media for dewatering and F.E.L. cake removal, warranted for 20 years
Thus few moving parts, low maintenance
And overall lower operating costs
Liquid loading capacity at over twice that of evaporation beds
Capable of dewatering solids to at least the paint filter test requirement
Complete cycle typically takes less than 24 hours
More efficient, than evaporation beds, using substantially less space
A simply operated batch process loaded in a very brief period with a minimum of control variables, followed by automatic function.
