FP-2S Filter Press Pilot Plant Educational Training Equipment Chemical Engineering
This system is equipped with a filter press fed by a variable speed screw pump connected to a tank containing the solution to be filtered. The filtrate passes through a flowmeter and is then collected in another tank. The pump enables to operate at constant pressure and flow rate.
Training program
This unit enables an in-depth analysis of the following topics:
- Characteristic equations of filtration
- Filtration at constant flow rate or pressure
- Typical procedures of a filter press (assembly, filtration, disassembly and cleaning)
