Plant-based protein purification is where flavor, color, and functionality are won or lost. This article shows how the BHS Rotary Pressure Filter’s hygienic design, inflatable seals, and optimized cake washing turn challenging protein slurries into consistent, neutral-tasting bases for vegan meats and plant-based ingredients.

Filtration is the quiet workhorse behind modern plant-based food products, turning complex fermentation broths into clean, high-value ingredients. This guide walks through where solid-liquid separation fits, how different filtration technologies compare, and how BHS supports producers from lab trials to full-scale plants.

Mining and chemical refining are among the most water-intensive industries in the world. Rare earth element processing is no exception. Large volumes of water are consumed at every stage, from ore grinding and leaching to dust suppression and tailings management.

Batch filtration adds labor, wash water, and downtime to every stage of rare earth refining. This post shows how the BHS Indexing Vacuum Belt Filter is designed to automate separation and lower those operating costs.

Rare earth elements (REEs) may represent only small fractions of the materials used in modern technologies, but their impact is enormous. From electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines to consumer electronics and defense systems, REEs are essential to the clean energy transition and national security.

Lithium-ion batteries are central to the electrification of transportation and renewable energy storage. But as volumes of end-of-life batteries increase, recycling technologies must evolve to reduce costs, minimize environmental impact, and recover materials efficiently.

Hydrometallurgical battery recycling has emerged as one of the most effective methods for recovering high-purity metals from end-of-life batteries. Unlike pyrometallurgy—which requires high temperatures and produces significant emissions—hydrometallurgy uses chemical processes at lower energy inputs, making it more sustainable and more compatible with the circular economy.

Graphite is the dominant material used in lithium-ion battery anodes, making it a critical enabler of the electrification economy. More than 95% of today’s EV batteries rely on graphite based anodes for conductivity, stability, and performance. As demand for electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage grows, so too does the need for battery-grade natural graphite that meets stringent quality standards.
