Filtration Equipment
Plate-and-Frame Filter Press
An alternate assembly of plates covered on both sides with a filter medium, usually a cloth, and hollow frames that provide space for cake accumulation during filtration.
![Page 16: Separation Equipment Part 2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102804/5471586bb4af9fff588b45db/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Plate-and-Frame Filter Press Process
1.Slurry is pumped and fills the chambers at a high flow rate and low pressure which gradually builds-up as the cake gets thicker.
2.When pressure reaches 6-7 bars wash water is pumped through the filter cake.
3.Air blowing is applied to reduce cake moisture.

4.The drip trays open and are ready for cake discharge.
5.The hydraulic plate closing piston retracts together with the follower.
6.The shuttle shifter moves the plates one by one towards the follower and the cake discharges.

Filtration Equipment
Leaf FilterAlso called tank filters, they
consist of flat filtering elements (leaves) supported in a pressure shell. The leaves are circular, arc-sided, or rectangular, and they have filtering surfaces on both faces.
![Page 20: Separation Equipment Part 2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102804/5471586bb4af9fff588b45db/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Filtration EquipmentLeaf Filter Process1.The slurry enters and the
shell is filled, and filtration occurs on the leaf surfaces.
2.Filtration is allowed to proceed only until a cake of the desired thickness has formed.
3.Air or gas is blown and the slurry heel that surrounds the leaves is pushed and displaced downwards.
4.Cake is dried and discharged.

SedimentationThe separation of a dilute slurry or
suspension by gravity settling into a clear fluid and slurry of higher solids is called sedimentation.

Simple ClassifierThe design is similar to that of the
straight gravity settling tank, except that the bottom half is divided into several equal partitions wherein the coarse particles get trapped in the first chamber, the intermediates get trapped in the middle partitions, and the fine particles, the dust, gets captured in the last section.

Centrifugation
A mechanical method of separating immiscible liquids or solids from liquids by the application of centrifugal force.
![Page 55: Separation Equipment Part 2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102804/5471586bb4af9fff588b45db/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Types of Centrifugation
Centrifugal Filtration-A centrifugal force is used
instead of a pressure different to cause the flow of slurry in a filter where a cake of solids builds upon a screen.
Centrifugal Sedimentation-It is the separation of a dilute
slurry or suspension using centrifugal force into a clear fluid and slurry of higher solids
![Page 56: Separation Equipment Part 2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102804/5471586bb4af9fff588b45db/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Centrifugation Equipment
Tubular Bowl CentrifugeThe centrifugal force acts on the liquid entering and separates the two liquids according to their specific gravities. The lighter liquid forms the inside layer and heavier liquid forms the outer layer.

Centrifugation EquipmentTop-Suspended Centrifuge A common type of batch centrifuge in industrial processing is the top-suspended centrifuge.1.Feed slurry enters the rotating basket through an inlet pipe or chute.2.Liquor drains through the filter medium. The cake is then spun to dry.3.The motor is shut off. With the basket slowly turning, the solids are discharged by cutting them out with an unloader knife, which peels the cake off the filter medium.4.The filter medium is rinsed clean, the motor turned on, and the cycle repeated.

DUST COLLECTOR DESIGN
A dust collector is to be designed for an air flowrate, temperature and pressure are 150 m3/min, 350 K and 1 atm, respectively. The particles in the air have a
density of 1600 kg/m3. What are specifications of the said cyclone?

Distillation is a unit operation for separating mixtures based on differences in their volatilities in a boiling liquid mixture.

Simple distillation involves the production of a vapor by boiling the liquid mixture to be separated in a single stage and recovering and condensing the vapor. No liquid is allowed to return to the single-stage still to contact the rising vapors.

Types of DistillationTypes of Simple Distillation•Equilibrium or Flash Distillation-a liquid mixture is partially vaporized. The vapor is allowed to come to equilibrium with the liquid, and the vapor and liquid phases are then separated.

Types of Simple Distillation•Differential Distillation-liquid is first charged to a heated kettle. The liquid charge is boiled slowly and the vapors are withdrawn as rapidly as they form to a condenser, where the condensed vapor is collected.

Types of Simple Distillation•Simple Steam Distillation- method is often used to separate s high-boiling component from small amounts of non-volatile impurities.

Types of DistillationFractional Distillation
-It involves the returning of a portion of the condensate to the still.
-It is also known as distillation with reflux or rectification.

Azeotropic DistillationAny of several processes by which
liquid mixtures containing azeotropes may be separated into their pure components with the aid of an additional substance (called the entrainer, the solvent, or the mass separating agent) to facilitate the distillation.

• vertical shell where the separation of liquid components is carried out
• column internals such as trays/plates and/or packings which are used to enhance component separations
• reboiler to provide the necessary vaporization for the distillation process
• condenser to cool and condense the vapor leaving the top of the column
• reflux drum to hold the condensed vapor from the top of the column so that liquid (reflux) can be recycled back to the column

The performance of a distillation column is determined by many factors, for example:•feed conditions– state of feed– composition of feed– trace elements that can severely affect the
VLE of liquid mixtures•internal liquid and fluid flow•conditions state of trays (packings)•weather conditions
