For many factories and plants, wastewater treatment is a necessary process to protect the environment and meet regulations. But sometimes the steps may seem complicated for beginners. One simple and efficient solution is using a filter press. With over 20 years of production experience, Fujian Province Tianfu Long Environmental Science and Technology Co., Ltd. provides reliable filter press equipment that helps users handle wastewater more easily. Let’s walk through 5 basic steps to improve wastewater treatment with a filter press.

1. Collect and Prepare the Wastewater

The first step is always collecting the wastewater from your production process. Before it goes into the filter press, large particles or debris should be removed through simple screening. This preparation makes the filtration process smoother and prevents clogging.

2. Pump Wastewater into the Filter Press

Once the wastewater is ready, it is pumped into the chambers of the filter press. The pressure pushes the liquid through the filter cloth, leaving solids behind. For new users, this process is quite straightforward—just connect the pump and let the machine do the job.

3. Separate Solids and Liquids

This is the core function of a filter press: solid-liquid separation. The filtrate (cleaner water) passes through the filter cloth and can be collected for reuse or safe discharge. The solids, on the other hand, remain as a compact filter cake inside the chamber.

4. Remove the Filter Cake

After filtration, the machine opens and releases the filter cake. This step is quick and saves manpower compared to traditional methods. The dry filter cake has lower moisture, which means less cost for drying, transport, or disposal.

5. Reuse or Dispose of the Treated Water

The final step depends on your needs. Treated water can often be reused in the factory for cleaning or cooling. If disposal is required, the water already meets stricter environmental standards, which helps companies avoid fines and protect the environment.
