The cake resistance increases steadily with the time of filtration in a plate and frame filter employing constant ______________ filtration?

Correct answer: C. Both A. & B.

  • A. Rate
  • B. Pressure
  • C. Both A. & B.
  • D. Neither A. nor B.

Explanation

Cake thickness and therefore cake resistance grow as filtration proceeds under constant-pressure operation. The same buildup occurs under constant-rate operation, although the pressure must rise to maintain that rate, so both conditions apply.
