Filter Aids
Vytal Filtration Technologies is a leading Canadian and US distributor of several high-quality national brands of filter aids including calcined and flux-calcined diatomaceous earth (DE), perlite and cellulose filter aids critical for liquid filtration operations. All our filter aids are environmentally friendly, natural, and sustainable.
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Filter Aids
We offer several grades of filter aids from the finest to the coarsest grades used throughout food & beverage and industrial liquid filtration applications. Vytal has selected high-quality calcined and flux-calcined diatomaceous earth filter aids designed to provide outstanding performance. Both calcined and flux-calcined diatomite filter aids are free of organic matter and are non-adsorptive.
Perlite Filter Aids
Our full range of perlite filter aids include expanded perlite, which is a softer and less abrasive option than diatomaceous earth, resulting in significantly less wear and tear on equipment. Perlite acts as a mechanical sieve, creating a thick, porous filter cake that allows high-volume and stable flow rates liquid flow while trapping suspended solids.
Cellulose Filter Aids
Vytal supplies cellulose filter aids that are chemically inert and non-abrasive. Available as food grade and pharma grade, they are used to improve liquid-solid separation, protect equipment, and provide a safer, more eco-friendly alternative to mineral-based options like diatomaceous earth. Cellulose filter aids increase filtration capacity either used alone as a precoat/body feed, mixed directly with mineral aids, or combined with activated carbon or flocculants.
