EPOWIC Solid–Liquid Separation System | Fully Upgraded
2025-12-29
According to the latest INDEXBOX report (December 2025), the global market for machinery used in solid–liquid separation is projected to reach approximately USD 1.51 billion by 2035, with total unit demand expected to exceed 754 million units. From 2024 to 2029, the market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of around 8.4%, driven by rising demand across food & beverage, petrochemical, wastewater treatment, and biopharmaceutical industries.
Today, solid–liquid separation is no longer about whether separation is possible, but about how to achieve it more stably, faster, more efficiently, more sustainably, and more intelligently.
Modularization · Intelligence · Clean Operation · High Efficiency have become defining trends for next-generation separation systems.
Feature-Tec EPOWIC: A Breakthrough in Solid–Liquid Separation Technology
With the EPOWIC system as its technological cornerstone, Feature-Tec delivers a fully integrated solution spanning equipment, filtration elements, valves & instrumentation, utilities, and intelligent control systems. Powered by strong in-house R&D, Feature-Tec redefines industry standards and provides reliable, efficient, and intelligent solid–liquid separation solutions for demanding industrial environments.
An Integrated “Equipment + Element + System” Solution
The EPOWIC system is a fully automated intelligent purification system, featuring backwashing and back-blowing structures for automatic cleaning and slag discharge. Its compact design, ease of operation, and high degree of automation ensure stable and continuous performance.
Key Features of the EPOWIC Filtration System
⚙️ Rapid Maintenance & Quick Release
Quick-opening clamp flanges allow the vessel to be opened in 30 seconds.
The latest bundled filter element design enables one-person installation within 10 minutes—no lifting equipment required.
⚙️ Modular & Space-Saving Design
Compact modular architecture minimizes footprint and reduces liquid hold-up during backwash.
Only the filter fabric needs replacement during maintenance—no need to replace filter tubes, significantly lowering lifecycle costs.
⚙️ Flexible Slag Discharge Options
Compatible with both wet cake and dry cake discharge conditions.
Optional two-stage slag discharge ensures complete residue removal while preventing pipeline blockage through secondary flushing or extrusion.
⚙️ Intelligent System Control
All operating parameters—time, cycles, differential pressure—are fully programmable.
Modular control logic allows parallel, sequential, or individual operation of multiple units to adapt to diverse process conditions.
⚙️ Low Pressure Fluctuation
Multi-unit configurations provide inherent pressure buffering, effectively suppressing low-frequency pressure fluctuations and improving system stability.

Selected Application Cases
🏅 Case 1: Petrochemical Industry
DMC / EMC Catalyst Filtration System
- Quick-opening design enables single-person maintenance without lifting equipment
- Online monitoring of inlet pressure, differential pressure, liquid level, and flow
- Filter structure: 304 stainless steel support + replaceable PET filter cloth
- PLC-based local control system
- Applied at reactor distillation bottoms for catalyst recovery
The system captures solid catalyst particles on the outer surface of the filter elements, forming a filter cake that enhances fine particle retention. When differential pressure or preset time is reached, the system automatically transitions to slag discharge.
🏅 Case 2: Industrial Coating Wastewater
Three-Stage Paint Sludge Filtration System
- Drum belt filter for coarse particle removal
- EPOWIC bundled filter with filter aid dosing for fine particle separation
- High-precision bag filter for final polishing
🏅 Case 3: Food Processing Industry
Fully Automated Filtration of Fructose Syrup
The EPOWIC system replaces frequent bag filter changes by continuously removing carbon powder and protein impurities.
Key benefits include uninterrupted production, reduced consumable costs, improved safety, and minimized contamination risks, significantly enhancing overall production efficiency.
🏅 Case 4: Nuclear Industry
Low-Level Radioactive Waste Liquid Filtration
The fully enclosed automated system eliminates the need for frequent manual maintenance in radiation zones.
Integrated gas–liquid separation recovers entrained moisture, preventing direct discharge of contaminated wastewater with exhaust gases.
