Build a Better Belt Filter Press by Design(1 credit hours)
Course Description
Belt filter presses have been manufactured by many different
companies for decades. Each company
endeavors to build the best machine. The
best machine may be the one that produces the driest cake and cleanest
filtrate. It may be instead the machine
that operates without failure and requires little maintenance. To date no one has built the ultimate machine
that provides optimal performance, lowest cost and trouble-free service. This course explores the features of a hypothetical
belt filter press so that engineers may use these ideas to improve future designs.
