Processed water from the mill’s cooling tower is generally contaminated with particles like algae, airborne dust, paper fines and pipe scale. These particles propagate in the heat exchangers and chillers which significantly reduce the system’s cooling capability. In addition, these particles can clog the spray nozzles in the system which greatly endanger the quality of manufactured products. Many hours are required to clean the analyzers, decker showers, shower water, pump gland seals, sensors and other accessories of the cooling equipment!

In other cases, chemicals and alternative forms of filtration procedure are used in cleaning cooling tower which are not really effective. This type of cleaning procedure also results in an unscheduled maintenance shutdowns losing a considerable amount of production time.

The self-cleaning water filters of WATERGUARD can provide the most excellent solution where dirty water is an issue. The water filters operate on line pressure. Self-cleaning procedure is triggered by a pressure differential and can be accomplished within seconds without stopping the flow. The self-cleaning water filters of WATERGUARD are durable and are designed to meet various industrial applications needs.
