Project Highlights

How does candle filtration support reliable solid-liquid separation in adipic acid processes? Adipic acid production places high demands on solid-liquid separation, particularly when processing high-solids slurries in nitric acid environments. Filtration equipment must combine corrosion resistance, stable performance, and controlled solids handling to support continuous operation and consistent product quality. What are the solid-liquid separation […]

How does candle filtration support rare earth and critical mineral processing? DrM Group has successfully delivered a FUNDABAC® candle filter for a customer in Australia, designed for use in a rare earth processing application. Rare earth and critical mineral production place high demands on solid-liquid separation, particularly where fine particles, variable feed conditions, and stringent […]

How does candle filtration protect membranes in chlor-alkali brine polishing? DrM Group has successfully delivered two FUNDABAC® candle filters to a client in Egypt for use in chlor-alkali brine polishing. In modern membrane-based chlor-alkali processes, electrolyser membranes are highly sensitive to suspended solids. Even low levels of particulate contamination can negatively impact cell performance, membrane […]

How can solid-liquid separation improve wastewater handling in oxy-hydrochlorination processes? Oxy-hydrochlorination (OHC) is a key process step in the production of ethylene dichloride (EDC), an essential intermediate in polyvinyl chloride manufacturing. In this process, ethylene reacts with hydrogen chloride and oxygen over a copper-based catalyst to form EDC, enabling efficient chlorine utilisation within integrated vinyls […]

How can low-shear mixing support reliable insulin production at industrial scale? DrM Group has successfully delivered a turnkey skid-mounted plant featuring FUNDAMIX® mixing technology for a pharmaceutical customer in Pakistan. The system is designed for insulin production, where gentle handling, hygienic design, and process reliability are critical to product quality and operational performance. What were […]

How does solid-liquid separation support solvent stability in direct air capture systems? Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies remove carbon dioxide directly from ambient air, typically using amine-based solvents that selectively bind CO₂. Maintaining solvent purity and stability is critical to ensure continuous operation, predictable performance, and acceptable energy efficiency over extended operating periods. During DAC […]

Rich MEG Filtration in Action DrM recently delivered a custom-engineered rich MEG filtration system for a major oil and gas operator in South East Asia. The process package is built around two FUNDABAC® candle filters, specifically designed for the treatment of Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) used in offshore production and hydrate control. In subsea and topside operations, MEG plays a critical role […]

How does activated carbon filtration remove methanol and heavy metals from wastewater? DrM Shanghai recently delivered four FUNDABAC® filter systems for activated carbon to a Chinese client for the removal of methanol in a wastewater stream. In the process our filter in conjunction with activated carbon makes use of the ability to adsorb certain substances at a […]

DrM was asked by a major European PVC producer to help develop a treatment of VCM waste water stream in PVC production. Biodegradability Difficulty of PVC With a production capacity of 56 Mio. tpa, Vinyl Chloride (VCM) is one of the 20 largest petrochemical compounds in the world and is mainly used to produce PVC. […]

How will CONTIBAC® process and guard filters support lithium hydroxide production at Kwinana? Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. DrM, Dr Mueller AG has signed a contract for the supply of specialised filtration equipment for Tianqi Lithium Australia’s newest lithium hydroxide processing plant, which will be located in Kwinana, Western Australia. Tianqi Lithium, which controls a majority stake […]
