A baker's yeast factory in Turkey produces 3800 tonnes of dry yeast per year with no downtime. Fermentation media coming out of each batch contains 120 g wet weight/L. The biomass is separated using rotary vacuum filter units continuously throughout the year. Calculate the total volumetric flow rate coming out of the filter units. Calculate the required size (length and diameter) of the filter (assuming only one filter unit)for this process if the rated flow rate characteristic of the filter material is 5-10 m3 of filtration volume/m2 filter area.
