The equation traditionally used to analyze a rotary‐drum vacuum filtration system is strictly valid only for flat filters immersed during the filtration cycle. In this article we derive the equation appropriate for a rotary‐drum filter and find that the results of calculated areas differ by a factor 5 from the fully immersed filter result. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2010
