Solid-liquid filtration is a crucial step in the production of virtually everything in our daily lives, from metals, plastics and pigments through to foods (and crockery) and medicines. Using a practical and applied approach, Trevor Sparks has created a guide that chemical and process engineers can use to help them understand how filtration processes affect production processes, production costs, product quality, environmental impact and productivity; optimize process development and project execution, with real examples and supporting software forms and tools; and develop reporting tools to monitor processes, and find ways to get more from processes. This book’s focus is helping process engineers understand their filtration processes better. Its accessible approach and style make it a valuable resource for anyone working in this sector, regardless of prior knowledge or experience.
