At Remark Filtration Group, innovation is at the heart of our mission to create cutting-edge filtration solutions. Our dedicated RemarkHUB – R&D Center is where our team of experts works tirelessly to develop new filtration materials that meet the most demanding requirements. Whether for industries with extreme operating conditions or specialized applications where conventional materials fall short, our R&D team is at the forefront of transforming the filtration landscape.
A Case Study in Lead Waste Recycling
One of the most exciting and challenging projects we have recently undertaken at the RemarkHUB involves the recycling of lead waste and its alloys. This process, which includes the recycling of lead-acid batteries and other lead-containing materials, is crucial for both resource recovery and environmental protection. The recycling system uses advanced equipment, including shaft furnaces and short drum furnaces, to process the materials, along with a step that separates plastics and waste electrolytes.
Challenges with Conventional Filtration
During our initial analysis of the filtration material used in the recycling process, conducted in RemarkLab, we found that conventional mineral fibers were not up to the task. The filtration media showed significant signs of degradation, including reduced strength and chemical breakdown. These results indicated that a new, more durable filtration material was needed for optimal performance in this demanding application.
The Remark Solution: Advanced Filtration Materials
Leveraging the insights gained from RemarkLab, our RemarkHUB – R&D Center developed a groundbreaking filtration solution. The new material, Remark advance fiber blend, features a cascade fiber arrangement, coupled with a highly efficient PTFE membrane—Remark membraTECH. This innovative construction was designed specifically to withstand the harsh conditions found in lead recycling operations.
Results that Matter: Outstanding Performance After Three Months
After just three months of operation, the filter bags were thoroughly inspected in RemarkLab, where they demonstrated remarkable results. The filtration media showed impressive strength, with values far exceeding expectations. Additionally, the cleanability of the material on our Remark regeneration line was exceptional, achieving approximately 50% breathability – almost half of the original filtration capacity. The surface filtration was also top-notch, with no dust penetration into the media structure, ensuring optimal filtration efficiency and maintaining a cleaner working environment.
RemarkHUB: A Hub of Innovation and Excellence
The success of this case study highlights the importance of our RemarkHUB – R&D Center as a driving force behind the development of innovative filtration solutions. We are committed to continuously pushing the boundaries of filtration technology, creating materials and solutions that address the most complex challenges faced by industries today.
At Remark Filtration Group, we do not shy away from taking on unique problems and providing solutions that make a real difference. Our Remarkable Team works relentlessly to create high-performance products that meet the needs of our clients and contribute to a sustainable future.
A Future Built on Innovation
We are proud of the progress made at the RemarkHUB and excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. As we continue to innovate, our goal is to provide the filtration industry with products that offer exceptional performance, durability, and efficiency, helping our clients to achieve their sustainability goals and create a cleaner world.
