You want to filter a broth containing crystals of an antibiotic. The filtration tests in the laboratory present the following data in a unit with an area of 89 cm?, a pressure drop AP = 2.6 m of Hg and a concentration of solids per volume of filtrate equal to Cs = 3.4 g/dm3 t(s) V (L) 10 0.5 20 0.707 30 0.866 Estimate the filtration time if the volume to be filtered is 7,300 L in a 1.3 m2 filter and the suspension has a crystal concentration of 2.8 g/dm3 filtered volume. The pressure drop at this scale is the same as in the laboratory test.
