Mechanical Operation: Constant Pressure and Constant Rate Filteration

The total pressure drop is sum of the pressure drop across cake and filter medium. The cake filtration equation is obtained as follows:
The batch cake filtration can be carried out either at constant rate or constant pressure. If the pressure is held constant the rate of filtration will decrease with time and if the rate of filtration is to be held constant then pressure has to be increased due to rise in cake resistance with time.
