DELIQUORING BY EXPRESSION - PART 2 VARIABLE-PRESSURE EXPRESSION

Abstract
Expression processes under variable-pressure condition are analyzed in view of the flow through compressible porous media. It has been demonstrated that the expression mechanism of slurry consists of two flow phenomena and these types of phenomena can be analyzed first by filtration theory and second by the so-called consolidation theory. By assuming that the continuous screw expression process con- sists of a succession of batch processes, the basic equations ex- pressing the relationship between the dehydration rate, the feed rate, and the expression pressure distribution are derived.
