“…Lowering the filter face velocity (or increasing the filter area) can help to lower the overall power consumption of filtration processes. In the context of digitalization, process modeling and the development of digital twins becomes increasingly relevant [10][11][12].…”

Baghouse filters applied for gas cleaning are subject to digitalization concepts, including process modeling and the development of digital twins in order to improve energy efficiency and lower particle emissions. Modeling equations from literature were adapted to match experimental data from part 1 of this study to calculate the effect of varying filter face velocities, dust concentrations, or tank pressures on energy demand and particle emissions. Based on the model approaches, an operation curve that enables the evaluation of filter operation regarding the trade‐off between energy demand and particle emissions can be constructed. The identification of energetically optimal cycle times and favorable operation regions is possible due to the extensive experimental framework of the model.

Solid–liquid separation plays a decisive role in various industrial applications particularly in the treatment and purification of suspensions. Solid bowl centrifuges, such as the decanter centrifuge, are commonly employed in these processes as they operate continuously and enable high throughputs with short processing times. However, predicting the separation performance of solid bowl centrifuges proves to be challenging due to dynamic phenomena within the apparatus, such as particle settling, sediment build-up, consolidation and sediment transport. In practice, design considerations and the dimensioning of the apparatus rely on analytical models and the manufacturer’s expertise. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) offers a way to deepen our understanding of these devices by allowing detailed examination of flow phenomena and their influence on the separation processes. This study utilizes the open-source software OpenFOAM to simulate multiphase flow in a laboratory-scale decanter centrifuge, solving individual transport equations for each particle size class. The basis is the characterization of the material through targeted laboratory experiments to derive material functions that describe the hindered settling and the sediment consolidation. Furthermore, experiments on a laboratory decanter served as validation. The results demonstrate the solver’s capability to replicate clarification and classification within the apparatus. Furthermore, the solver supports the definition of geometries tailored to specific separation tasks. This research demonstrates the potential of CFD for a better understanding of complex centrifuge processes and for optimizing their design to improve performance.
