Diatomaceous earth filter aid

Diatomaceous Earth, also known as D.E., is a natural filter medium made up of fine, porous particles derived from the fossilized shells of diatoms. It is widely used in pre-coat and body feed processes as a filter aid when the solid particles in a slurry are extremely fine and free-filtering. Diatomaceous Earth helps trap fine solid particles that would otherwise pass through the filter medium. The use of diatomaceous earth enhances the clarity of the filtrate, ensures higher flow rates, more consistent filtration processes, shorter cycles, drier cakes, and helps protect and extend the life of the filter medium. Diatomaceous Earth is applied before pumping the slurry into the filter press.
