Generally, one square meter of plate and frame equipment corresponds to a volume of 15 liters; therefore, 20 square meters would correspond to 300 liters. Assuming that the sludge has a moisture content of 75% in this 300-liter volume, the amount of sludge is approximately 3.75 cubic meters (with a moisture content of 98%). What matters now is how much time you have to compress this sludge. If it needs to be compressed within 4 hours, then the pump flow rate should be 0.93 cubic meters per hour (15.6 liters per minute), and the pressure required for the diaphragm pump in this case should be 0.6 MPa. Under these conditions, it should be possible to compress the sludge within 4 hours. (But this assumes that the sludge has certain dewatering capabilities.)
There is backpressure on the pump at the back, so the flow rate will decrease
