The Computer Controlled Continuous and Batch Filtration Unit, "TFUC", has been designed to study the filtration process with two different types of filters. On one hand, there is a vertical plate filter consisting of nylon plates with a diameter of 5 microns, used to filter a known concentration CaCO3 suspension. On the other hand, there is a cartridge filter, more suitable for continuous filtration of larger size materials. It will be used to filter and "clean" a water sample with small pieces of paper. To carry out the experiments, the mixture will be taken from a tank by a computer controlled centrifugal pump and send to one of the filters depending on the position of the valves. A motor driven stirrer will make the sample inside the tank more homogeneous. Along its way, the mixture goes through two pressure sensors and a flow sensor, which will help us to determine the flow through the circuit. The initial temperature of the sample can be controlled by a heating element and a temperature sensor (PID Control), which will provide the temperature value at any time. There are two operation modes with the unit: the filtered product can be sent to the initial tank to be filtered a
