Schastlivyi UDC 66.067(064)(100) Cartridge and disk type clarification filters are used abroad to remove fine suspended material from liquids. The simplest cartridge fiIter consists of a replaceable cylindrical cartridge inserted into a eyI- indrieal housing. Liquid normally enters the annulus between the housing and the cartridge and leaves through a discharge opening. Filtrate flow direction can be reversed if necessary. When a cake of the maximum permissible thickness has been formed on the cartridge surface the cartridge is removed from the housing and is either reinstalled after cleaning or replaced by a new one. Cartridges can be divided into four groups according to the method of regeneration [1-3]: renewable throw-away types which cannot be cleaned; self-cleaning which are easily cleaned and used many times; those which can be cleaned under factory conditions and are returned to the fabricator for cleaning by spec- ial methods; and returnable which are also returned to the fabricator who replaces the filtering medium. Different filtering media (see Table 1) are used in cartridge clarification filters. Porous metals, ceramics, plastics, woven metallic products, and the metal components of edge filters can be cleaned. The difficulty of cleaning increases as the size TI - Filtering elements for liquid clarification JF - Chemical and Petroleum Engineering DO - 10.1007/BF01143370 DA - 2005-01-28 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/filtering-elements-for-liquid-clarification-yH10OT3w10 SP - 546 EP - 548 VL - 7 IS - 6 DP - DeepDyve ER -
