FILTRATION / PRESSURE LEAF
Pressure Leaf Filters
Oil-filtration equipment selected by effective area, feed characteristics and the complete operating cycle.
Application
Oil clarification and filtration in kernel-oil processing or a defined recovered-oil stream, subject to feed analysis.Feedstock or material
Oil with suspended solids; specify temperature, viscosity, moisture and solids loading.Process role
The liquid passes through supported filter media while solids accumulate on the leaves. Filtrate collection and cake discharge require a defined operating cycle.Technical specifications
| Parameter | Quotation data required |
|---|---|
| Effective filtration area | Selected duty-specific area in m² |
| Liquid flow | Feed, temperature, viscosity and solids basis |
| Design conditions | Pressure, temperature, materials and applicable documentation |
| Plate press details | Plate type/size, chamber count and cake volume where applicable |
| Operating cycle | Filtration, draining, cleaning and cake discharge |
| Final model and ratings | Subject to KCP confirmation |
Model, filtration area, operating pressure and throughput are selected for the application and confirmed in the quotation. No universal throughput is guaranteed.
Technical duty & configuration
| Parameter | What the selected data sheet must state |
|---|---|
| Filtration area / leaves | Effective area, number of leaves, dimensions and outlet connections |
| Flow / solids duty | Tested or guaranteed flow with oil, temperature, viscosity and solids basis |
| Cake loading / cycle | Permitted cake loading, filtration period and complete turnaround time |
| Pressure / temperature | Design, operating and test values; applicable code and documentation |
| Wetted materials / media | Vessel, leaves, mesh, supports, manifolds and seal materials separately |
| Discharge / auxiliaries | Dry or wet cake route, valves, feed pump, instruments and utility consumption |
Vertical and horizontal pressure-leaf arrangements are described in the supplied KCP catalogue. Discuss vessel access, leaf withdrawal, cake discharge, maintenance clearance and the available floor area.
Horizontal arrangements can be reviewed where maintenance access, leaf withdrawal or the required operating arrangement favour a horizontal vessel.
Subject to KCP confirmation — Selected dimensions, pressure, temperature, materials, motor, controls, performance and available options. No universal values are approved.
Practical selection points
- Compare the area and cake duty on the same stated basis.
- Include the full filtration and turnaround cycle in the duty review.
- Allow access for cleaning, media replacement and cake discharge.
- Identify the duties and responsibilities of the filter supplier and the plant.
Related parts & support
- Filter leaves and associated supports
- Seals, outlet connections and gaskets
- Cake-discharge valve components
- Selected feed-pump and instrument spares
Compatibility is checked against the approved model, dimensions and material specification.
Questions before you enquire
Can this filter be matched directly to a PK22, PK32 or EFB12 press?
No direct capacity match is claimed. Press-feed tonnage differs from liquid filtration duty. Provide actual oil or liquor flow and representative feed information before selection.
Are dry and wet cake discharge both standard?
The choice depends on the selected filter and process. Subject to KCP confirmation for discharge method, utilities and included auxiliaries.
