Answer 2

Pressure leaf filter works by feeding a liquid or dirty influent into a pressure vessel. This is done under high pressure.

• The liquid when passes through filter leaves leaves the solids behind in the form of a cake.

• The clean and filtered liquid leaves the filter by the manifold connecting all the filter leaves.

• The left behind filter cake is then discharged from the vessel either as a dry solid via vibration or by sluicing with a separate liquid.

• A pressure leaf filter is used for processing edible oil, pectin, gelatine, sugar or glucose.

• It is also used in biodiesel production.
