Membrane Filter Technology

A separation device is a device used in various factory operations to separate fluids, especially in water recycling applications. The system consists of a series of vessels that house rectangular filter plates, together with a membrane filter, this arrangement enables it to successfully separate liquids from solids.

Mastering the operation of a membrane filter press is essential in identifying the correct type of press for any given commercial use. Here's a comprehensive overview:-

The membrane filter press typically consists of a series of horizontal plates with a uniform gap between each. A elastic filter is stretched across the superior and bottom of these plates, and on alternating plates, a gland is placed to create a seal between the membranes.

In use, the areas between the plates are fed with a liquids mixture containing the slurry. As the feed enters the chamber, high pressure is applied by the hydraulic filter press manufacturers in india press's pneumatic system, pushing the fluid through the separation membrane. The solids that cannot pass through the membrane filter remain within the space.

As the chamber becomes loaded with the retained solids, water is removed using a controlled drainage system, normally after closure of the chamber plates, by opening a by-pass valve connected to a sewer system or to a wastewater treatment unit.

Concurrently, the filters that prevent the passage of matter to the vacuum plate on opposite sides, give up water, causing the mixture to become enhanced concentrated. Excess water is usually drained before the filter press shuts down, after all of the spaces have been filled and filtered.
