Bench scale testwork

Filtration testwork is essential for selection, sizing, design and optimisation of solid liquid separation equipment.

Bench Scale Filtration Testwork

Vacuum Filtration
(for Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filters, Rotary Disc, Drum and Pan Filters)

    • Determination of optimum filtration parameters / performance
      including: cake moisture, cake thickness, throughput and filtration rate,
      filter speed and vacuum pump requirements and sizing
    • Performance improvements by flocculant addition and filter aid
       addition
    • Filter cloth selection
    • Filter sizing and filter selection







Pressure Filtration (for Filter Presses and other Pressure Filters)

    • Determination of optimum filtration parameters / performance
       including cake moisture, throughput and filtration rates, cycle times
       (feeding, squeezing, washing and air blowing times), filtration
       pressures, feed pump requirements and sizing
    • Performance improvements by flocculant addition and filter aid
       addition
    • Filter cloth selection
    • Filter sizing and filter selection
