Conventional vacuum drum filters have limited application in sludge dewatering because of progressive blinding of the filter media. On the other hand, the continuous belt drum filter has been extensively utilized because the endless belt travels off the drum where high-pressure water sprays clean both sides of the filter cloth to control the blinding problem. 1, record 1, English, - continuous%20belt%20drum%20filter

Les filtres à tambour classiques posent un problème, surtout quand ils servent à traiter des boues biologiques, en ce que leur toile se colmate progressivement. Avec le filtre à tambour à bande continue, le problème du colmatage est atténué car une partie de la bande sans fin ne repose pas sur le tambour, ce qui permet de nettoyer les deux faces de l'habillage avec des rinceurs haute pression. 1, record 1, French, - filtre%20%C3%A0%20tambour%20%C3%A0%20bande%20continue

Pulp washing and stock slurry dewatering types of process units using one wire screen-covered, cylindrical drum, partially immersed in pulp suspension and white water, from which it picks up fiber and forms a sheet as a means of separating the solids from the liquid. It is commonly used in multi-stage brownstock washing and pulp bleaching processes. 1, record 2, English, - drum%20filter

Pressure Washers. Rotary pressure washers... are similar in operation to rotary vacuum washers, but appear to offer some significant advantages. The pulp mat is formed on the surface of the cylinder and dewatered with the aid of pressure applied inside the washer hood(i. e., outside the cylinder), as opposed to vacuum inside the cylinder. Because the driving force for mat formation, dewatering and wash liquor displacement is outside the cylinder, the interior of the washer drum can be utilized for a more sophisticated liquor collection system; therefore, a single washer can be operated with two or three displacement stages. The higher pressure also allows higher-temperature wash liquor to be used and greatly reduces foaming. The closed vapor circulation system facilitates collection and treatment of odorous vapors. 1, record 3, English, - pressure%20washer

Les piles laveuses sous pression, de conception relativement récente, semblent offrir des avantages considérables par rapport aux piles laveuses classiques (...) Comme on fait appel à une pression externe positive pour la formation du matelas de pâte, l'épaississage et la chasse de la liqueur de lavage, l'intérieur du tambour laveur peut servir à l'installation d'un circuit plus complexe de récupération de liqueur. Ainsi, la pile laveuse peut fonctionner comme un appareil à plusieurs stades. La pression plus élevée contribue à réduire la formation de mousse et permet l'utilisation d'une liqueur de lavage plus chaude. Enfin, le circuit fermé de circulation de vapeur favorise la récupération et le traitement des vapeurs odorantes. 1, record 3, French, - pile%20laveuse%20sous%20pression

Filtration with self-compacting of the cake. The principle of dewatering consists of compacting the sludge by rolling it on itself against a draining surface. In its best-known form, the Roto Plug, the pre-thickened sludge is fed at one end into a rotating, open filtering drum, which is set at a slight angle. The contact surface between the sludge and the filtering screen is constantly renewed and a cylindrical cake of sludge is gradually formed inside the drum and, by its own weight, sets up a differential filtering pressure. This gives a first concentration... 1, record 7, English, - Roto%20Plug

Filtration avec autocompactage du gâteau. Le principe d'essorage consiste à réaliser un compactage de la boue en la faisant rouler sur elle-même au contact d'une surface drainante. Dans son application la plus connue, le Roto-Plug, la boue préépaissie est introduite à l'extrémité et à l'intérieur d'un tambour rotatif ouvert filtrant, légèrement incliné. La surface de contact de la boue avec le tamis est constamment renouvelée et il se forme progressivement à l'intérieur du tambour un boudin de boue créant par son propre poids une pression différentielle de filtration. On réalise ainsi une première concentration de la boue [...] 1, record 7, French, - Roto%2DPlug
