solid liquid filtration

One of the most essential activities when it comes to solid liquid filtration and separation operations is filtering solids from liquids. Sure, it sounds simple; however quite a lot of science is involved to do this accurately and successfully. It is in this the method that many different manufacturers utilize across industries such as food, beverage and pharmaceutical. Filtration is vital in every single one of these industries to provide safe, clean and high-quality products.

Solid liquid filtration is a science that deals mainly with the nature of the filter itself. A filter is an essential device containing small holes known as pores that keep solid particles and let the liquid to pass through. You could liken it to a sieve, but on much smaller level. The filtration process will only work, if the size of these holes is small enough. They should be small enough to give the pieces of solids space to move but not so tiny that they get jammed and no more working. If holes are too small, the filter might clog and prevent liquid from passing through.

Techniques for Better Solid Liquid Filtration

Solid liquid filtration can be achieved using different methods, although the manner is typically dependent on filter being employed and what kind of liquids it contains. Gravity filtration is the most common technique. It only uses the natural force of gravity to filter the liquid. It is an easy to use and cheap technique, so it sprouted up everywhere. Even so, for those applications requiring ultra-high levels of filtration from the filtrate it may not be appropriate.

Food and beverage grade paper filters are commonly used in the food and drink industry for its excellent price/quality ratio as well as being disposable. Cloth filters, as opposed to paper filters are more robust and can be used over a large number of industrial uses. With membrane filters, far higher levels of cleanliness and purity are possible. Because they are so important for industries such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, where safety and quality must be ensured.
