This article is primarily concerned with the mechanical and hydraulic use of diatomite filters themselves, and secondarily with the performance of the filter aids coupled with well‐designed filters. Included in the various aspects of design are hydraulic velocities (both within and without the filters), septum considerations, adequacy of filter cleaning, precoating technique, and principles of continuous slurry feeding.
