A fermentation slurry containing Streptomyces kanamyceticus cells is filtered using a continuous rotary vacuum filter. 120 kg h^{- 1} slurry is fed to the filter; 1 kg slurry contains 60 g cell solids. To improve filtration rates, particles of diatomaceous-earth filter aid are added at a rate of 10 kg h^{- 1}. The concentration of kanamycin in the slurry is 0.05% by weight. Liquid filtrate is collected at a rate of 112 kg h^-1; the concentration of kanamycin in the filtrate is 0.045% (w/w). Filter cake containing cells and filter aid is continuously removed from the filter cloth.

 What percentage liquid is the filter cake?

It is required to provide a 20-m^3 fermenter with air at a rate of 10 m^3 min ^-I for a fermentation lasting 100 hours. From an investigation of the filter material to be used, the optimum linear air velocity was shown to be 0.15 m sec^-I, at which the value of K was 1.535 cm^-I. calculate The dimensions (radius and depth) of the filter? The air in the fermentation plant contained approximately 200 micro-organisms m^-3. The acceptable degree of contamination is one in a thousand.
