FilterPressSizing

Step 1 Determinethevolumeofdrycakethatwill beproduced.

Vw =Volumeof“wet“sludge

Vd=Volumeofdewateredcake

Cw =Drysolidscontentinwetsludge

Cd =Drysolidscontentindrysludge

Vd = (V

d/100)

Step 2 Basedonthelevelofautomationandlaboravailable,decidethenumberofoperationsperday.

Od =Numberofoperationsperday

P =Filterpresssize P = V
