Filtration comes first
Slurry first fills the chambers and liquid exits through the filter cloth. The initial cake forms from retained solids. Membrane squeezing does not replace feeding and filtration.
Membrane squeezing principle
After the chambers are filled, the squeezing medium presses the membrane to apply additional pressure to the cake. Lines, medium, pressure, and sequence must match the plate and machine design.
Results depend on process conditions
Particle characteristics, cake compressibility, chamber thickness, cloth condition, feeding, and process duration affect the result. A result from one sludge should not be treated as a guarantee for another.
Documented implementation examples
The Fajar Surya Wisesa and Dayasa Aria Prima portfolios document Membrane Filter Press systems in automatic configurations with pumps and supporting units. Their individual capacities are listed on the portfolio pages.
