Evapo-Crystallization Towers in Operation. Sugar y…

Disposal of Filter Cake by Combustion
le Grand, F.  1987.  Filter cake may be incinerated separately under closely controlled conditions to avoid the likely ash fusion. The use of “Vortex” furnace device, in which operation and flue gas temperature are narrowly regulated by a “Stokemaster” control, appears ideally suited for the complete and efficient combustion of filter cake…
