The basic analitical method for so-called expression operation, the separation of liquid from solid-liquid systems by compression, are presented in view of the flow through compressible porous media. It has become evident that the expression mechanism consists of two flow phenomena. These types of phenomena can be analyzed by consideration of the flow mechanism through compressible porous beds, first by the filtration theory and second by the so-called consolidation theory. A simplified equation is also presented. It is shown that the simplified equation is well applicable to industrial expression problems even when the creep effects of matarials to be expressed are appreciable
