If
you’re working in an industry where wastewater is a
byproduct, you’ll need an effective method to treat the
slurry water. A filter press is the perfect solution,
but it isn’t just one size fits all.
It’s
important to consider size before investing in a filter
press. It’s easy to simply choose the biggest option
and assume the filtration process will go smoothly as long as
it isn’t overloaded. But bigger is not always better, so
you should choose a filter press after carefully considering
your needs and the application you are using it for.
In
certain applications, cake and water quality can drop if the
press is oversized. Additionally, a filter press than is
too large can make your costs rise, not only with the initial
purchase but when running the machine. Thoughtful design
and pairing with other technologies can reduce the size and
overall cost of your purchase.
To
determine what size filter press you need, two main factors
are considered:
---
The quantity of solids
being filtered and the gallons per hour flow
---
If
you only need to filter a few gallons per hour, a smaller
filter press should do the trick. If your gallons
per hour flow is much higher — for instance, 500 gallons
of water per hour — you’ll want to go with a larger
filter press (MH2 or MH4.)
