Abstract
The primary aim of a dewatering filter is to reduce the liquid content of a slurry and to discharge solids which are as near to being dry as is practicably possible; so, in the sense of optimisation, the design of a dewatering filter should seek to minimize the moisture content of the discharged cake or to maximise the filtrate recovery rate. The dewatering is accomplished firstly by the filtration itself, and secondly by deliquoring the cake.
