Filter press case studies and application notes across nine industries: mining, chemical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, power & new energy, metallurgy, stone, municipal wastewater, and oil & gas.
Filter pressing converts liquid waste sludge (1-4% solids) into a transportable solid (25-35% solids). Here is how to specify a press for municipal biosolids vs industrial chemical wastewater.
Spent yeast from breweries and fermentation plants holds 80-90% beer or wine by volume. A purpose-built yeast filter press recovers that liquid while concentrating yeast to 25-30% solids for animal feed or extract production.
Filter press tailings dewatering reduces mine waste volume by 70%, eliminates tailings dam risk, and enables water recycle of 90%+. Here is how the technology and economics work.
Multi-disc screw presses dewater municipal and industrial sludge continuously to 18-25% dry solids, using 90% less energy than a centrifuge. Operating principle, capacity selection, and limits explained.
Heavy-duty centrifugal slurry pumps handle the abrasive, high-solids feed conditions of mining filter presses. Hard metal vs rubber-lined construction, wear rates, and selection criteria explained.
