TY - JOUR AU - Caretta, Raul A. AB - The equation traditionally used to analyze a rotary‐drum vacuum filtration system is strictly valid only for flat filters immersed during the filtration cycle. In this article we derive the equation appropriate for a rotary‐drum filter and find that the results of calculated areas differ by a factor 5 from the fully immersed filter result. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2010 TI - Analysis of a continuous rotary‐drum filtration system JF - Aiche Journal DO - 10.1002/aic.12098 DA - 2010-07-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/analysis-of-a-continuous-rotary-drum-filtration-system-oB0xRGOpZt SP - 1737 EP - 1738 VL - 56 IS - 7 DP - DeepDyve ER -
