What is Membrane Filter Press?
The slurry is pumped and fills the chambers at a low pressure which gradually builds-up the cake inside. After that, the membranes, of empty chamber type plates, are pressed back to allow cake formation/cake squeezing by pumping water to the backside of the membranes.
Few big most advantages of the membrane system are as below:
- Cakes are obtained with low moisture content compared to normal chamber press.
- Cakes may be disposed of and flattened in layers and sufficiently stable to support a tractor/transport.
- Intensive soluble recovery or removal of contaminants from the cake may be achieved.
- high filtrate clarity may be produced.
- It saves the cake drying cost/energy cost for further processing.
- It reduces the process cycle time by reducing the drying time cycle.
- Helps in decreasing utility consumption by reducing water consumption for cake washing.
- Reduce the filtration process time by reducing drying time & cake washing time which leads to an increase in productivity.
- Compact design helps in installation as well as saves the land cost.
- Reduced pump wear on abrasive media due to low feed pressure
