Do Membrane Filter Plates Last as Long as Chamber Plates?
No. Membrane plates with elastomeric diaphragms wear faster than solid recessed chamber plates. Diaphragm life depends on squeeze pressure, cycle count, slurry abrasiveness, chemical compatibility, and temperature. Solid chamber plates routinely outlast the membranes under the same duty. The trade-off is accepted when extra dryness and shorter cycles lower operating cost. Why do membrane plates […]
