Abstract
Fabric filtration is a physical separation process in which a gas or liquid containing solids passes through a porous fabric medium, which retains the solids. This process may operate in a batch or semicontinuous mode, with periodic removal of the retained solids from the filter medium. Filtration systems may also be designed to operate in a continuous manner. As with other filtration techniques, an accumulating solid cake performs the bulk of the filtration. Importantly, an initial layer of filter cake must form at the beginning of the filtration operation (1,2).
