Am looking 4 resources regarding the intrepretation of lab scale filtration trial results to apply to plant scale rotary vacuum filter.

Please fill free to ask questions regarding the results from the lab trials.

I would think any rotary filter manufacturer would be able to assist. I may be a bit naive about this mater, but I wouldn't think there is a great deal of risk in scaling up filtration test results. Important parameters might be the liquid velocity through the cloth, the cake thickness, etc. These parameters could very possibly be expressed differently than what I've stated. In any case, however, suppliers of filtration equipment should be more than happy to help. I'd suggest you try looking at books on scaling up laboratory data, but I'm not sure filtration would be covered.

Good luck,
Doug
