Smith & Loveless Inc. products

Fully tested in the field, the key development of DI-SEP® SX-DAF centers on the inclusion of robust dissolved air flotation incorporated into the filtration process. The addition of this step not only improves the filtration of organic material, but allows for less backwashing, no concern for wearing or clogging, and simple retrofitting into existing tankage. SX Filter market leader Smith & Loveless assists every step of the way.

Pioneered in 1980, Smith & Loveless DI-SEP® SX Filters are high volume pressure filters designed exclusively to purify electrolyte fluids in copper mining/electrowinning facilities. DI-SEP® SX Filters installed prior to the electrowinning stage first remove organic materials present in the electrolyte, typically achieving removal efficiencies of greater than 90 percent. Because the commercial success of copper is dependent on its final quality, DI-SEP® SX Filters serve as an important step in yielding a finer copper product.
