Filtration is a unit operation that involves separating the insoluble solid component from a solid-liquid suspension by passing the liquid through a porous membrane. This membrane retains the solid particles, either on its upstream surface, within its structure, or both, thereby allowing efficient separation of solids from the liquid. The research focused on a plate and frame filter press to determine the resistances of the filter medium (cotton cloth) and the filter cake (corn starch), using simple linear regression analysis to determine the parameters. The results, with resistance values of 1.787 x 10⁹ m kg-1 for the filter cake and 3.646 x 1010 m-1 for the filter medium, will help optimize equipment performance and adjust operating conditions in future studies.
