Success Story:
How BASF and MSE

Turned a Filtration Challenge
into a Technological Milestone

The Challenge

BASF required a filtration solution for a highly sensitive application — one where conventional filter presses quickly reach their limits. The expectations were clear: maximum process reliability, operational safety, full containment, and automated cleaning — all within a highly efficient setup.

Complex Requirements

The combination of aggressive media, emission-critical substances, and the need for reproducible quality demanded a solution beyond the industry standard. It called for a partner capable of developing tailor-made systems with the flexibility to meet evolving process demands.

The Solution: CellTRON – Developed in Partnership with BASF

A jointly developed custom solution emerged: the CellTRON, a gas-tight membrane filter press featuring a fully enclosed housing, an integrated automatic cleaning system, and intelligent process control. Designed to meet strict containment and cleanliness standards, the CellTRON seamlessly integrates into complex production environments. It is modular, efficient, and engineered with sustainability in mind.

The Result

The CellTRON meets — and in several respects exceeds — the original performance specifications. It enables clean, safe, and highly reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Key benefits include automated cloth cleaning, secure gas-tight filtration, and consistent filtration cycles. The successful implementation confirms both the technological strength of the solution and the quality of the collaboration.

Value Delivered to BASF

With CellTRON, BASF achieved greater operational safety, reduced manual intervention, and significantly enhanced process stability. The gas-tight enclosure (Total Enclosure System) ensures optimal protection for personnel and product alike. This partnership with MSE not only delivered an advanced machine, but a smart, future-ready filtration system — designed from the ground up to meet the most demanding industrial standards.
