Design basis
Define slurry rheology, solids concentration and PSD, abrasiveness, temperature, hazardous constituents, filtrate specification, cake moisture target, washing need and operating cycle.
Solids Handling Packages · ENGINEERED SCOPE
Slurry Filtration Packages
Slurry filtration packages separate suspended solids from liquid process streams and condition the recovered cake or filtrate for reuse, disposal or downstream treatment. Technology selection follows particle-size distribution, solids concentration, compressibility and required dryness.
Engineering approach
Slurry Filtration Packages
A technically defined package begins with the operating envelope—not a catalogue model.
Rated capacity, minimum stable load, feed envelope, inlet and outlet conditions, product specification, start-up and shutdown cases, design life and acceptance criteria are agreed before equipment definition is frozen. Package basis also fixes battery limits, skid envelope, lifting and shipping constraints, utility tie-ins, FAT scope, preservation requirements and commissioning deliverables.
Process configuration
Options can include filter presses, pressure or vacuum filters, cartridge or bag polishing, strainers, hydrocyclone pre-separation, backwash systems, slurry tanks, agitators, pumps and cake discharge equipment.
Verification focus
Engineering checks solids balance, filter area and cycle time, pressure drop, media compatibility, erosion, pump duty, plugging, wash efficiency, containment, cleaning and safe cake handling.
