BECOCEL filter cellulose is a highly pure cellulose fiber material in graduated fiber lengths and finely fibrillated. Its fiber structure forms a loose but reinforced filter cake having an enhanced contaminant holding capacity. BECOCEL filter cellulose can be used as the only filter aid, or can be added to other filter aids.
BECOCEL 2000 filter cellulose has long fibers and is used for clarification of very polluted liquids; particularly suitable as pressing and draining aid for lees and sludge dehydration.
