Easily optimize batch pressure filtration
- Procter and Gamble (United States)
Several years ago, the author wrote an article describing a design method for batch pressure filtration systems. The method maximizes the production capability of a filtration system by selecting the best operating conditions--filtration time, initial mass flux, operating temperature, and pressure drop. Most often, maximizing production will also optimize total system costs, and both capital/investment and operating expenses. The method requires a large number of calculations, and is time-consuming and cumbersome, even with a personal computer. This article presents a simplified and fast calculation technique. It`s based upon several dimensionless numbers and two graphs that relate the dimensionless numbers to each other.
