Hello fellow engineers,
We are working in a vegetable oil refinery plant. There is a task to convert our pressure leaf filters (PLF) in bleaching process to continuous process. To this day, when we want to cahnge from PLF-1 to PLF-2 we need to wait 10 minutes for filling PLF-2, additional 30 minutes to filter create filter cake for efficient filtration. For this problem we want to apply a new design. The gist of the process is to fill PLF-2 and create filter cake simultanously, while PLF-1 keeps working by opening entry valve 80/20 (PLF1/PLF2). Therefore, we purpose the exit line of PLF-2 should go back to PLF-1 as we do not want to not fully filtrated oil goes to the next step. For make it more understandable for you. I will add the current design and the purposed one.
I would like to learn your opinion about the given topic, and whether it can be applied.
Thank you in advance.
