Ruta de Cobre Cu VPA Process Specification

The document specifies the inputs, cycle times, and other details for a VPA filter system for a copper concentrate application in Ecuador. The system will process 37.4 dry metric tons per hour of material that is 60% solids with a particle size of 23 micrometers or smaller. The operating cycle for filtration is 3.05 minutes with an additional 0.5 minutes for compression and 2.3 minutes for air blow. One VPA 1540-40 filter will be used with a total volume of 2,720 liters and 40 chambers at 40mm depth.
