The Process
Cooling water is used to remove heat from components and industrial equipment. It is applied in basically all industries such as power plants, refineries, chemicals and even commercial buildings. It is inexpensive, non-toxic and can be reused by removing the heat via a cooling tower (open, recirculating systems), or can be used as a once-through process where water (usually sea water) is readily available. Closed loop systems are also employed for comfort cooling, HVAC applications etc.
Filtration is critical to protect plant assets and ensure smooth process operations.
The Problem
Solid contaminants in the cooling water cause many problems including:
Products Suitable For This Application:
Feature-Tec Filter Product |
Applied to |
Description |
Hydrocyclone |
Cooling tower water filtration |
A Hydrocyclone removes solid particles that are much denser than water. Fully automatic system with periodic blow down to remove trapped particles. Compact system designed to meet tight space constraints. Little or no maintenance and replacement parts |
Sand filter |
Cooling tower water filtration
|
Sand filter uses granular particles of different sizes to form unique depth filtration, giving it higher filtration efficiency. It is fully automatic and has a pre-set back wash sequence to ensure smooth operation. |
FSH/Jumbo cartridges |
Equipment protection |
Unique pleated design and absolute filtration efficiency prevents particle accumulation in downstream equipment. High dirt holding capacity and high flow rate types available for different applications. |
