Filter Presses
A filter press is a solid-liquid separation system designed to dewater sludge generated during metal finishing wastewater treatment. Its primary functions include:
- Removing Excess Water: Reduces sludge volume and weight for easier handling and lower disposal costs.
- Producing a Dry “Filter Cake”: High-pressure filtration separates solids from liquids, yielding a compact cake and clear filtrate.
- Improving Efficiency: Drier sludge minimizes transportation costs and environmental impact while enabling water recovery for reuse or discharge.
