Cake and Depth Filtration- Engineering Lab Training Systems Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Cake and Depth Filtration- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
With the processes in depth filtration
and cake filtration can be observed and investigated. The suspension
(water and diatomite as the solid) flows from the hopper into the top of
the filter element, where the solids are separated off. The filtrate
flows through a flow meter into the drain. The filter element has a
porous filter medium at the bottom. In cake filtration, the filter
medium provides the foundation for build-up of the filter cake. In depth
filtration, the filter medium supports the bulk solids (filter medium
layer; gravel). A two-tube manometer measures the pressure loss over the
filter element.
