带式压滤机于1985年在罗伯特·A·斯金纳过滤厂投入使用，作为该厂污泥处理工艺改造的一部分。通过一系列试验，确定了固体进料、污泥流速、聚合物用量、皮带速度和张力等操作参数对带式压滤机效率和优化至关重要。尽管污泥产量和滤饼固体不符合规范要求，但该工厂的带式压滤机运行被认为是成功的。包括5个参考文献、表格、图表。

Belt filter presses were placed into operation at the Robert A. Skinner Filtration Plant in 1985 as part of a renovation of the plant's sludge-handling processes. Through a series of tests, operational parameters such as solids feed, sludge flow rate, polymer dosage, and belt speed and tension were identified as being critical to belt filter press efficiency and optimization. Although sludge production and cake solids have not met specifications, operation of the belt filter presses at this plant are considered successful. Includes 5 references, tables, figures.
