- Additional information
- Previous attempts to model two-phase screw-press dewatering relied on imposing extra constraints on the problem which were not justified self-consistently. This work presents the first model which is entirely self-consistent and self-determined, relying only on industrially relevant constraints. It predicts the transition point within such presses and has highlighted its importance; it became a focus of pilot-plant research [1]. An App was made for outputting predictions of the model for press design purposes, and was made available to Valmet Ltd. App is available on request.
