Solid/Liquid Separation: Equipment Selection and Process Design

Download or read book Solid/Liquid Separation: Equipment Selection and Process Design written by Steve Tarleton and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2006-12-07 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, the third in a set specifically written for the industrial process and chemical engineer, the authors provide the detailed information on filtration equipment and media which allows the reader to then consider the pre-treatment of suspensions, selection of the most appropriate equipment for the task, data analysis and the subsequent design of the processes involved for particular separations. The result is a comprehensive book which is designed to be used frequently and referred to regularly in order to achieve better industrial separations.Successful industrial-scale separation of solids from liquids requires not only a thorough understanding of the principles involved, but also an appreciation of which equipment to use for best effect, and a start-to-finish plan for the various processes involved in the operation. If these factors are all correct, then successful separations should result. Part of 3-volume set Unique approach to industrial separations Internationally-known authors
