Understanding the relationship between pressure and filtration is crucial for optimizing your filtration processes.
4 Key Points Explained: The Relationship Between Pressure and Filtration
1. Increasing Pressure Difference
When the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the filter increases, the flow rate of the suspension being filtered also increases.
This means that as the pressure difference increases, the rate at which the liquid or gas passes through the filter also increases.
This relationship holds true for suspensions containing solid, granulated, or crystalline particles.
2. Pressure Drop Coefficient
The pressure drop coefficient is a parameter that provides insights into the permeability and genetic pore diameter of a filter.
It helps in determining the appropriate filter for a filtration operation.
A lower pressure drop coefficient indicates a higher flow rate, while a higher pressure drop coefficient indicates a lower flow rate or increased resistance from the filter.
3. Filter Pressure Drop
Filter pressure drop refers to the decrease in pressure from one point in a pipe or tube to another point downstream when air or liquid is drawn through a system with a filter installed.
The pressure drop is caused by the resistance created by the filter to the airflow or liquid flow.
It is desirable to have a filter with a large flow rate and a small pressure drop to ensure efficient filtration.
4. Filter Press
A filter press is a piece of equipment used for liquid/solid separation through pressure filtration.
It separates liquids and solids by pumping a slurry into the filter press and subjecting it to pressure to dewater the slurry.
The design of the filter press is based on the volume and type of slurry to be dewatered.
Different types of filter presses are available for various application needs.
