| 3. |
Is the feed liquid vapour
pressure:
e.g. water's vp is 20 to 50 kPa at between 70 to

| 1. |
Is the primary objective
of the separation: clarification of the liquid (i.e. as pure as possible) or
recovery, including concentration, of the solids? |
|
| |
|
|
| 2. |
Can chemicals be added to
enhance the separation? |

|
|
| 3. |
Can expendable media be
used? Note, filter aid and cartridges cannot be used if solids is your
product. |
