| Filtration |
| This page provides
quantitative details of the filtration process enabling the user to better
understand the choices that are available for equipment selection and process
options. Currently, the best example of the different types of filtration, and
how they might be used, can be found at Josh's web site:
Solid Liquid
Separation.com. Josh provides a very useful set of notes and pictures, but
doesn't provide the interactive facilities given here. |

| Please do take a look at
Josh's site but use this site for your interactive equipment selection and
process calculations. |
| |
| Available
simulations: |
Constant pressure filtration
(assuming constant
specific resistance and cake concentration during filtration but with these
determined as a function of filtration pressure) |
Constant rate filtration
(specific resistance and
cake concentration vary during filtration as the pressure increases) |
| |
| Filtration data analysis: |
Data analysis pages
for estimation of specific cake resistance, including data for compressible cakes can be accessed here. |
