How to Choose the Right Nylon Mesh for Spirulina Filtration

The filtration process is crucial in the production of spirulina as it directly affects the quality of the spirulina biomass harvest and production efficiency.  So, how can we make the right choice?
 
MAISHI is here to provide you with detailed insights.
  
I. Understand the Characteristics of Spirulina and Filtration Requirements
Spirulina is a type of microalga with cell sizes typically ranging from a few micrometers to tens of micrometers. During filtration, selecting the appropriate mesh size is essential to effectively retain spirulina biomass while allowing the culture liquid to pass through smoothly. Generally, nylon mesh for spirulina filtration should have a mesh size between 20 and 100 micrometers. Commonly used mesh sizes include 20, 25, 30, and 50 micrometers. The specific mesh size should be chosen based on the spirulina species and culture conditions.
 
II. Pay Attention to the Material and Performance of Nylon Mesh
Nylon mesh is chemically resistant and can adapt to the spirulina culture liquid's acidic or alkaline environment. It also has excellent flexibility and strength, ensuring stable filtration performance in high-flow and complex chemical environments. Additionally, nylon mesh has good air permeability, which helps improve filtration efficiency. When selecting, prioritize nylon mesh made from high-quality nylon material to ensure durability and filtration effectiveness.
 
III. Consider the Cleaning and Maintenance of Nylon Mesh
Cleaning and maintaining nylon mesh is relatively simple, but it is important to use appropriate cleaning methods to avoid damaging the fiber structure. When cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a soft brush to remove impurities and spirulina residues. Regular cleaning and maintenance of nylon mesh can not only extend its service life but also ensure stable filtration performance.
