How to understand solid liquid separation and filter press filtration?

Filter press filtration deals with wastewater by solid liquid separation. Filter press filtration adopts pressure filtration, which is widely used in a range of industries. Then, let us know about the solid liquid separation in the filter press filtration.

Solid liquid separation in filter press filtration

• Before filtration, solids means solid materials that appear in wastewater. And the liquid means suspension or slurry. After filtration, solid materials will become filter cakes and the liquid that pass through filter cloth is called filtrate.
• The filtration medium plays an important role in filter press filtration. The selection of media is critical to the performance of filtering equipment. It is mainly used for particle retention. The parameters of filter cloths include yarn type (such as monofilament, multifilament, textured, spun) and physical construction of the cloth (such as weave, weight, etc.).

By solid liquid separation, filter press will convert solid materials into filter cakes, so as to provide convenience for transportation. For more details about filter press, please contact us immediately.
