Technology plate filter presses
Aims and objectives of the technique :
This technique enables the maximum dryness level to be achieved
in dewatering.
Operating principle :
There are two types of plate filter presses :
Conventional plate filter press : the conditioned sludge
is dewatered by the pressure between two plates which are
covered with filter cloths.
Membrane plate filter press :
the pressing stage is completed using membranes to create
pressurisation.
These filters make it possible to increase the dryness of
about 5% and to reduce the pressing time of 30%, compared
with conventional plate filter presses. However, their cost
is high and the energy consumption is 25%-30% greater.
