Solutions to Problems in Filtration

Problem #9.

Given: Rotary vacuum filter

% submerged = 35%
N = 0.5 rpm
Capacity = 0.61 ft3/min-m2
Production rate = 20.4 m3/hr
Required: Area of filter cloth
Solution:
20.4 1 / 60
Asubmerged = = 0.557 m 2
0.61
0.557
Total Area = = 1.5925 m 2

Problem #14.

Given: Rotary vacuum filter

Increase in submerged area = 20%
N and P the same
Required: change in capacity
Solution:
V f k k
y= = =

but k = k ' A2 = k ' F 2 AT2 with k ,AT and N constant,
y2 F2
= = 1.2
k ' AT F y1 F1
thus, y = = k ' AT FN

Problem #22.

Given: Standard Leaf filter

Vf = 20 cu ft
f = 2 hr
w = 30 min
drain = 20 min
fill = 25 min
c = 35 min
Required:
Capacity in cu ft/hr
Solution:
T = f + drain + fill + w + drain + c + fill
T = 120 + 20 + 25 + 30 + 20 + 35 + 25 = 275min
