Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A ceramic filter plate ( 22 ) is provided with a conductive wiring ( 70, 71 ) extending along the filter plate to form a continuous electrical circuit and arranged to break upon breakage of the filter plate. The integrity of the conductive wiring ( 70, 71 ) is monitored, and the operation, particularly the rotation, of the disc filter is immediately stopped upon detecting a break of the conductive wiring.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A filter plate, comprising a porous ceramic substrate, a porous ceramic membrane layer on an outer surface of the ceramic substrate, and at least one conductive wiring extending along the filter plate to form a continuous electrical circuit and arranged to break upon breakage of the filter plate, wherein the conductive wiring is provided along a peripheral edge surface of the filter plate, the peripheral edge surface interconnecting outer ends of a…
