In the present section 14.2 the ordinary type of filtration will be considered where a pressure difference is used to force the liquid through the filter cloth and the filter cake that builds up.

Types of Filtration Equipment

Classification of Filter

Filters can be classified by operating cycle. Filters

can be operated as batch, where the cake is removed after run, or continuous, where the cake is continuously removed. In the other hand, filters can be of the gravity type where the liquid simply flows by a hydrostatic head.

Continuous rotary filters

The plate and frame filters suffers from the disadvantages common to all batch processes and cannot be used for large capacity processs.
There are three types of continuous rotary filter, they are : Continuous rotary vacuum drum filter, Continuous rotary disk filter and Continuous rotary horizontal filter 11/11/2013
