The document discusses candle filters, which use cylindrical tubes to filter slurry from the outside in. The tubes accumulate cake on the inside, which is discharged through pulsing. Candle filters work by pressure and have a pre-coating stage followed by slurry pumping and cake formation. The cake is then removed by vacuum. Key specifications are an area of 50-150 m^2, vessel diameter of 2-3 m, and cake thickness of 50-100mm. It can operate under 6 bars of pressure. Components include filtrate, tubes, inlet, scavenger, air vent, screw jet, and cake discharge outlet.
