Abstract:
In order to provide an integration of the interactions between and among the elements of solids input rate, solids character, solids retention and filter medium, the quantitative routing of particles On to and from the surface of the fabric has been considered in the study. A mathematical expression, defining the effective trapping diameter based on particles size distribution has been developed. The elemental model concept invalues the analysis of solids retention for a simple filter, using a mechanical screening and straining mechanical process by which particles come together to form a filter cake. An effective trapping diameter is defined for the fabric, and for the subsequent cake built up. The cake is considered to be built in layers, it is the particle size distribution (13513) of the particles in a layer which determines the trapping diameter of that layer. The particle routing described by the trapping mechanism is used to predict solids removal efficiency of the microstraining process.
