Solid/Liquid separation: Equipment selection and process design / Разделение твердых и жидких частиц: выбор оборудования и проектирование технологического процесса

Over the years manufacturers have developed many generic forms of solid/liquid separator. The need to compete in the marketplace and gain a competitive edge, however, has led manufacturers to develop a plethora of variants. Rather than detailing all of these variants, this chapter attempts to give a descriptive overview of the generic equipment types and the main alternatives available to the design engineer (see Figure 1.1). The advantages and disadvantages of equipment are highlighted and an effort has been made to provide quantitative values whenever possible. More guidance values for the operational parameters of filters are shown in Appendix A, while greater details of recent developments in several equipment types are presented in Wakeman and Tarleton (2005b). In addition to the more specific references given throughout this chapter, the interested reader is also referred to the texts by Dickenson (1997), Kirk-Othmer (1980), Matteson and Orr (1987), Perry and Green (1984), Purchas (1981), Purchas and Wakeman (1986), Rushton et al (1996), Svarovsky (1990), Schweitzer (1997) and Wills (1992). <...>
