The engineering conversation
If feed mass is F, feed dry-solids fraction is x and capture is c, captured dry solids are F × x × c. At cake dry-solids fraction y, wet cake is F × x × c ÷ y. The remaining mass exits in the liquid only if no other streams have been added or removed. Polymer solution, wash water and cleaning water may need separate entries.
The engineering-tools page includes this simplified calculation. Use measured density if converting from m³/h and verify the balance before selecting pumps, conveyors or drying equipment. A closed balance makes comparisons between suppliers and operating conditions much more reliable.
