The requirements for filtration apparatus were determined not by the chemical industry, but by the sugar industry, which was more important at that time. In pre-revolutionary Russia there were 260 granulated sugar factories in operation, with approxi- mately 23150 filter presses of the Kroog, Abraham and Dene type and approximately 3000 gravity bag fil- ters of the Proshka, Kasalovsk, Danek-Rassmus, etc., systems. Multistage disk filters of the Perren system were occasionally used in clarifying liquors and syrups, utilizing paper as filter media. Filter presses and bag filters were used in the chemical, chemical-pharmaceutical, petroleum re- fining, pulp and paper industries, in the electrolytic plants of non-ferrous metallurgy. Box, or capacity filters, called nutsche filters, drain pits, and druck filters were in wide usage. At some enterprises operating :according to foreign flow sheets and using foreign equipment, there were Moore and Butters type leaf vacuum filters, Sweetland pressure leaf filters and Solvay rotating drum vacuum filters. All filtration equipment, with the exception of the Solvay type, was batch TI - Development of filter construction JF - Chemical and Petroleum Engineering DO - 10.1007/BF01136678 DA - 2005-01-27 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/development-of-filter-construction-Qc00VMEO3J SP - 829 EP - 838 VL - 3 IS - 11 DP - DeepDyve ER -
