Summary A simple laboratory testing apparatus and its use have been described. With relatively few pounds of material it is possible to evaluate many preparation and filtration variables and to predict with a fair degree of accuracy the behavior of a continuous horizontal vacuum filter. It is felt that such a unit will be invaluable for use in commercial plants, especially during the start‐up operations of a new plant. The bench‐scale unit should also find application in connection with other processes employing the unit operations of extraction and filtration.
