A baker's yeast factory in Turkey produces 12 tonnes of dry yeast per day. Fermentation media coming out of each batch contains 140 g wet weight/L. The biomass is separated using rotary vacuum filter units continuously throughout the year. In the drying process wet cell lose about 30% of the weight.

a-) Calculate the required size (length and diameter) of the filter (assuming only one filter unit)for this process with the help of information you can find in the literature.

b-)calculate the total volumetric flow rate coming out of the filter units
