Abstract

Rotating disks separators, mounted on single and double hollow shafts, are investigated experimentally. The shaft and disks were enclosed in stainless steel housing. Many parameters were measured to study their influence on the performance of single and double shaft disk filters at various rotation speeds. These parameters are pressure inside the housing, permeate flux, and electrical power consumption. The average velocity coefficient k˜ for single and double shaft disk separators was estimated and was found to be a good criterion of module performance as well. The comparison of measured and calculated filtration flow rate at various rotation speeds was in a good agreement. The estimated average shear stress is found to be about twice in double shaft filter disk. The feasibility of double shaft disk separator in treating filtration without filter cake is highly appreciated.
