This unit procedure simulates the performance of a continuous or semi-continuous granular multi-medium filter. Design and rating modes of calculation are available. The flow of the solvent is adjusted by the filtration operation. Therefore it must be a process-input stream and not the output of another procedure.
● Feed: the designated input port for the feed stream.
● Wash Input: the designated input port for the wash stream.
● Wash Output: the designated output port for the wash stream.
● Filtrate: the designated output port for the filtrate.
The following operation types are currently supported in the context of this unit procedure:
Filter, see Specification Choices / Comments
Hold, see Holding
Note that operation Hold is only available in semi-continuous operating mode.
