Pilot plant filter assemblies

The use of pilot-plant filter assemblies is both eommon and a elassieal approaeh to design methodology development. These eombine the filter with pumps, reeeivers, mixers, ete., in a single eompaet unit and may be rented at a nominal fee from filter manufaeturers, who supply operating instruetions and sometimes an operator. Preliminary tests are often run at the filter manufacturer s laboratory. Rough tests indicate what filter type to try in the pilot plant.
