Discovery

Helping You Identify the Best Filtration Solution for Your Needs

Determining the right filtration system requires a deep understanding of process requirements, application variables, and filtration options. At Sparkler Filters, our Discovery Service helps customers evaluate their filtration needs—whether they are new to solid-liquid separation or looking for an optimized solution.

meeting

While all new filter inquiries include a free initial consultation, this service provides a deeper, more technical evaluation to determine the most effective filtration process for your application. In over 90% of the applications we review, we identify significant savings — often resulting in millions of dollars saved or in increased production. Check out our testimonials and case studies for recent real-world examples where just a few thousand dollars in field service costs delivered returns of 1,000x or more.

What to Expect During the Discovery Process

right logo heading

Our team of filtration specialists will work closely with you to assess key process parameters and provide data-driven recommendations. This includes:

Application Review & Process Evaluation

We analyze critical filtration variables to understand your specific needs:

  • Flow rate, solid content, viscosity, temperature, and chemical compatibility
  • Desired clarity, throughput, and expected cake formation characteristics
  • Filtration goals: Clarification, solid recovery, or both
  • Check these out to help visualize critical variables

While Sparkler does not conduct lab testing on-site, we assist in setting up testing at customer facilities or third-party labs. Sparkler has Rental Filters available in many different sizes and configurations to assist as needed.

Testing may include :

Testing may include

Using lab or pilot test data, we assist in:

  • Calculating flow equations for full-scale system predictions
  • Determining correct filter area and cake capacity for batch or continuous processes
  • Evaluating system design constraints before equipment selection

We assist in:

  • Creating a proper datasheet or RFQ to ensure you get the right equipment for your process
  • Providing process insights to guide procurement decisions
  • Defining critical performance parameters before purchasing new filtration equipment

Each filtration application requires specific media to optimize efficiency, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness. Sparkler® Filters offers the following filter media types:

Determining the correct grades of DE or filter aid for precoat, bodyfeed, or slurry mixing

Determining the correct grades of Activated Carbon (AC) for clarity requirements and filtration

Filter media selection based on process requirements (woven, non-woven, depth, membrane, synthetic, wire mesh)

Evaluating alternative filtration aids such as perlite or rice hull ash to improve throughput and cake formation
