The modernisation of the vacuum belt filter at the boric acid filtration plant replaces the existing filtration step with a new belt filter rated for a 27 m² active filtration area and a -0.8 bar vacuum value. Vacuum belt filters are used to dewater the solids separated from the solution continuously on a moving belt and discharge them. Miyay Process replaced the existing filtration step and handled process design, equipment fabrication, site piping, electrical and automation integration and commissioning.
Fabrication scope covers laser cutting, stainless welding and precision machining; the electrical and automation side was integrated through PLC and SCADA. The modernisation was carried out at Eti Maden's boric acid filtration plant in Kütahya in 2019.
