Tube Press High pressure filtration Laboratory and pilot testwork

High pressure filtration laboratory and pilot testwork The fundamental basis of any Tube Press application is an accurate assessment both of the core process, and of the associated mechanical and operational criteria. Why mechanical dewatering? In dewatering applications, the most important question is the cost involved to reduce the moisture content of a slurry / suspension; both in regards to direct equipment investment and operation costs. The most cost effective alternative is an energy free process i.e. sedimentation. However, as particles get finer more energy has to be introduced to separate...
