Streamlining the Pigment Concentration Process

This is a case study in which chemical manufacturer F introduced a new filtration system to streamline impurity removal and concentration of pigment dispersions. An efficient and precise filtration system using Microza® was proposed and implemented.
Streamlining the Pigment Concentration Process

Achieving Both Improved Separation Accuracy and Streamlined Concentration Process

Chemical manufacturer F faced challenges in impurity removal and concentration processes for pigment dispersions. Microza® streamlined the entire concentration process, achieving targets without compromising accuracy.

Streamlining the Pigment Concentration Process

Company F was seeking a system to remove impurities from pigment dispersions and concentrate them to a specific level. Asahi Kasei proposed an efficient and precise filtration system using Microza®, streamlining the pigment concentration process.
