Abstract: The range of liquid/solid separation equipment is very large and without an intimate knowledge it can be confusing and even illogical, the main reason being that there are only two basic principles of liquid/solid separation. This means that equipment which an independent expert would not necessarily chose first can still be made to work, albeit with poor efficiency. This implies that you should be extra careful with suppliers who offer only one type of equipment, as it may well be that although it can be made to work, it may not be the best choice!
