Variable ranges for filter cycle calculations

Variables below are arranged according to basic properties, parameters specific to potential phases in a cycle and parameters specific to individual types of filters and presses. 

Filter medium resistance (including any heel of cake) = 1 x 10 1 X 10 m  

Compressibility index n — 0.05 1 (diaphragm and tube presses) and 0- l (all other filters and presses). Physically n can be 1 but this would represent an exceptional case. 

Compressibility index b 0 (diaphragm and tube presses) and Z 0 (all other filters and presses) 

Filtration pressure Pump pressure - 7000 kPa (filter presses), 2000
