The calculated power requirement is . hphence, the standard electric motor size of
150hp will be used.

Materials of Construction
Drum and Vat/Trough
Stainless steel will be used for the materials of construction. Among four types of
stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel is the most corrosion-resistant steel. So that the Standard
Wrought Austenitic Stainless Steel AISI type 316 is used in this rotary drum filter.
