Filtration Techniques and Calculations

The document discusses filtration methods and calculations. It describes a rotary drum filter that produces 0.61 cubic meters of filtrate per minute per square meter of submerged area when filtering lime slurry. Based on the given filtrate production rate of 20.4 cubic meters per hour, the estimated area of the filter cloth is calculated to be 3.2 square meters. It also mentions using a plate and frame filter press to filter sludge for 2 hours, and that washing is done using 10% of the collected filtrate volume over 1.6 minutes.
