A filter element for a filter apparatus includes at least one filter member and a frame member arranged to support the at least one filter member in such a manner that an internal cavity is formed. The filter member includes a permeable membrane layer which has a first filter surface for receiving a pressure and directed towards an internal cavity arranged in-side the filter element, and a second filter surface for receiving solid particles filtered from a feed. The filter member forms a capillary filter.

Filter element for a filter apparatus

A ceramic filter plate () is provided with a conductive wiring () 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 () is monitored, and the operation, particularly the rotation, of the disc filter is immediately stopped upon detecting a break of the conductive wiring.
