A filter press is___________________?

Correct answer: A. A batch filter

  • A. A batch filter
  • B. Not suitable, if the liquid is the main product
  • C. Having prohibitively high maintenance cost
  • D. Not suitable for wide range of materials under varying operating conditions of cake thickness
  • E. and pressure

Explanation

A filter press operates cyclically: filling, cake formation, washing if required, and cake discharge, so it is a batch filter. Its ability to handle different cakes does not make it unsuitable for varying cake thicknesses or pressures.
