I am profoundly grateful to everyone who contributed to the successful completion of this project. I am especially grateful to my Supervisor (Name), the Head of Department (Name), and the Lecturers in the Department of Industrial Chemistry for their invaluable guidance and support. I also acknowledge the contributions of authors and scholars whose works on Industrial Filters and Their Specific Application in Polymer Product provided essential insights. Special thanks go to my study area (and any funding organizations, if applicable) for their financial assistance. I am equally thankful to stakeholders, including mentors, teachers, and colleagues, for their encouragement and support. Finally, I deeply appreciate my family and friends for their patience and unwavering support throughout this journey. Your contributions have been instrumental in making this research a reality.
1.1 Introduction
Industrial Filtration is a process whereby solid particles present in a suspension are separated from the liquid or gas employing a porous medium, which retains the solids but allows the fluid to pass through. When the proportion of solids in a liquid is less, the term clarification is used. It is a common operation which is widely employed in production of sterile products, bulk drugs, and in liquid oral formulation. The suspension to be filtered is known as slurry. The accumulated solids on the filter are referred as filter cake & the clear liquid passing through the filter is filtrate. The pores of the filter medium are smaller than the size of particles to be separated. Filter medium like filter paper or muslin cloth is placed on a support. When feed is passed over the filter medium, the fluid flows through the filter medium by virtue of a pressure differential across the filter. Gravity is acting on the liquid column (Sambhamurthy, 2005).
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
