Question: Example - A rotary vacuum drum filter having a 30% submergence of the drum in the slurry - The solids concentration in the CaCO3 slurry

 Example - A rotary vacuum drum filter having a 30% submergence

Example - A rotary vacuum drum filter having a 30% submergence of the drum in the slurry - The solids concentration in the CaCO3 slurry is CF=14.7lb solids/ft flurr3 - Filter cake contains 50% moisture (wet basis) - The filter cycle time is 5min - P=20 in. Hg=1414lbf/ft2 - The specific cake resistance =2.91010P0.26 - Assume Rm0 - s=168.1lb/ft3 - For water: =62.3lb/ft3,=6.72104lb/ft.s - mc=0.302lb/s Calculate the filter area required to filter 10gal/min(=0.0022ft3/s) of slurry
