Solid Liquid Separator November 5, 2024 Filter Press

When selecting a filter press, several factors need to be considered, including the solid content of the wastewater, wastewater discharge volume, operating time, treatment capacity, material characteristics, pH value, configuration requirements, and the overall process flow.

The primary task is to determine the solid content in the wastewater, i.e., the proportion of solid substances in the water. It is also necessary to understand the daily wastewater production and the operation duration to calculate the required treatment capacity of the filter press. Based on this, and by considering the specific conditions on-site, other related factors are taken into account to determine the required volume and filtration area of the filter press, helping to select the appropriate model.

Operating Considerations:

Before using the filter press, it is essential to inspect the equipment. Check that the sanitation and cleaning are properly done, inquire about the equipment's operating status, perform tightening and lubrication, and ensure a comprehensive understanding of the equipment’s quality.
The filter press should be operated according to the specified guidelines. It's important to observe the operating condition of the equipment, promptly address any anomalies, and coordinate with professional technicians for resolution.

Applications:

The filter press is widely used in various industries, including petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, sugar production, food processing, coal washing, dyeing, ceramics, mining metallurgy, and wastewater treatment.
