Membrane Filter Elements
26 Operating Manual Status: 06/2001/01
6.2 Filtration
The chambers of the filter presses are fed via feed-canal with the so-called suspension.
The filtrate flows off via filtrate discharge canals.
When separating solid particles in the filter chambers, a distinction is made between:
• precoat filtration
• product filtration
Danger
Please obtain the permissible operating pressure of the filter press from the filter press
manufacturer. Overstressing will result in damage to the filter press frame and the filter
elements and endangers the life of the operating personnel.
Warning
Make sure that the filter chambers are fed uniformly, i.e.:
• the cake build-up must be constant over the filter surface of all filter elements
• differential pressure between the chambers is not permitted.
Differential pressure can damage or destroy the membrane filter elements.
Improper operation may cause property damage and injuries.
Note
Filtration must be completed without interruption.
An alternating operating mode without cake release is not permitted within a filtration
cycle.
