The primary application of the filter press is to separate solids from liquids. The product to be gained from the filtration process can be the liquid or filtrate (as in fabric processing), the solid or cake (as in metal hydroxide removal), or both (as in distillery applications).
Some of the industries and processes utilizing filter presses include:
- Plating & metal finishing waste - Tumbling & deburring waste - Tannery waste - Scrubber sludge - Laundry waste - Textile waste - Paint sludge - Clarifier sludge |
