Industrial Water Filter Applications

Process water from the plant’s cooling tower is often contaminated with airborne dust, debris, cardboard scraps, labels, and bacteria. These contaminates circulate through heat exchangers and chillers and significantly reduce the system’s cooling ability. In addition, spray nozzles become clogged due to particulate in the system, which endanger the quality of the product manufactured. In many cases, chemicals and alternative forms of filtration are used without much luck. This problem results in unscheduled maintenance shutdowns, which often cause considerable production losses. This problem may also originate in the pasteurizing and cooling tunnels. Breakages plug the spray nozzles, spot the cans, and create a maintenance nightmare. In addition, plant water supply from the municipality or from wells is often contaminated with dirt that causes unscheduled shutdowns for cleaning, costing many plant hours.

Essential Chamber 88® filters offer immediate benefits to water reclaim systems. The reclaim systems usually contains three (3) tanks that capture the water being used to wash the vehicles, as the dirt and road grime get rinsed off the vehicles it drains into these tanks. The filters are installed on the last of the series of tanks removing all dirt particles prior to the water being pumped back to wash the vehicles.

By using filtered water to wash the vehicles, it helps eliminate spotting on the vehicles. These water spots are an eyesore on clean vehicles. Filtered water also protects spray nozzles from getting clogged and causing the car wash to shut down.

Essential Chamber 88® filters remove very fine dirt particles, as small as 5-10µ without ever needing to shut down the filter for cleaning. They are maintenance free. Dirt build up on the screen causes a slight pressure drop at the filter outlet. Upon noticing such change, Just open the rinsing b electronic fuse controller actuates the filter to rinse itself. Flushing lasts 5 seconds and all valve uses 5 to 10 gallons of water during the cleaning flow. The rinse water is sent to the first reclaim tank.
