Comprehensive Guide to Industrial Wastewater Filtration Systems
In this complete guide, Spiral Water highlights our industrial water and wastewater filtration systems, including their various benefits and applications.
About Industrial Water Filtration & Self-Cleaning Automatic Filter Tech
Spiral Water Technologies, Inc. is a leading provider of industrial water filtration systems for diverse applications, such as renewable natural gas, farm waste recovery, land-based desalination, recycled plastics, and food processing. As a one-stop shop for advanced filtration products, we can work with you to deliver a complete solution that meets your specific requirements.
Our self-cleaning automatic filter technology stands out from other self-cleaning backwash filters due to its ability to handle Total Suspended Solids (TSS) above 500+ ppm. The patented internal mechanical cleaning mechanism creates an innovative hydrodynamic agitation that keeps the filter clean while maintaining a constant differential pressure. This keeps the filters online and functioning, whereas conventional filters would overload and fail.
Here, we’ll provide a complete guide to our industrial water and wastewater filtration systems, including their various benefits and applications.
How Do Self-Cleaning Automatic Filters Work?
Challenges of Industrial Wastewater Filtration
Industrial water filtration is often faced with numerous challenges that can be addressed by our self-cleaning automatic filters. These challenges include:
-
Industry
DependencyTraditional filtration solutions like media filters, bags, and cartridges are labor-intensive and require expensive human resources. Our self-cleaning automatic filters automatically clean the screen when it becomes dirty, requiring nearly no maintenance or monitoring. While several settings on the system may require customizing, our filtration solutions are capable of managing themselves for improved simplicity, easy operation, and reduced labor requirements. These benefits are major driving factors behind the growth of the global automatic screen filter market.
-
Current
CapabilitiesOther automatic filters available on the market cannot filter “difficult to treat” waters with variable or high TSS. Innovative self-cleaning automatic filters from Spiral Water can separate variable and ultra-high suspended solids above 5000+ ppm. Our patented filters and control systems can automatically manage conditions as high as 10,000 ppm without requiring operator assistance, providing end users with peace of mind.
-
Multiple
SystemsBag and cartridge filter systems cannot completely filter out all TSS, requiring more advanced post-filtration to complete the task. At Spiral Water, we can integrate our self-cleaning automatic filters into any existing industrial wastewater filtration system, complimenting elements such as:
- Membrane Filters
- Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Filters
- Centrifuge Filters
Our filters feature easy installation, minimal maintenance, and lower operating costs due to reduced upkeep.
-
Environment
ImpactConventional filtration products waste large volumes of water, take up larger footprints, and have a negative environmental impact. Our simple yet proven and powerful filtration solutions address these issues by being able to filter up to 50 times dirtier water in a single pass while needing only a fraction of the energy and footprint required by other equipment. In addition, our automatic self-cleaning filters are much more efficient at clearing out waste byproducts than other filters. In many instances, our filters require much less water, downtime, and chemicals needed to clean the filtration mechanism.
Benefits of Our Commercial & Industrial Water Filtration Systems
Spiral Water offers industrial water filtration equipment that provides advanced security for process systems impacted by variable TSS and high solids loading of 10,000+ ppm. Our industrial water filtration systems can automatically manage variable TSS, with success in up to 20% of soft and well-fluidized solids by volume. This is a significant improvement over standard backwash filters that can only manage TSS less than 500 ppm.
What differentiates our industrial water filtration systems from typical self-cleaning filters is the ability to manage high amounts of TSS with optimal efficiency. They provide 99% continuous filtration and produce less water waste, making them ideal for any water recovery solution.
Other benefits of our industrial wastewater filtration systems include:
- Effortless operation at low system pressures as low as 10 psig with no pulsing
- Smallest footprint in the industry
- Modularity and scalability
- Available in single or multiple filter configurations to suit various applications and flow rates
- No additional pump mods required for retrofits
- Simple Maintenance
- Reliable automated filtration from 10 to 1000 microns
- Customizable to your needs
Our Industrial Water Filters in Action
Our reliable filtration products can be used across various applications, including:
-
Renewable
Natural GasIndustrial water filtration plays a vital role in renewable natural gas (RNG) production. The process requires adequate filtration systems to convert decomposing material and off-gassing products into useful energy products. At Spiral Water, we can create water filtration systems to help customers benefit from the power of RNG.
-
Land-Based
DesalinationUsing our industrial water filtration technologies for farm waste recovery allows for the efficient production of clean water. This contributes to the provision of safe, reliable water supplies for communities and industries around the world.
-
Farm Waste
RecoveryRecycled water contains a large amount of contaminants and microorganisms that can negatively impact vertical farming and other applications that depend on clean water. Our highly effective water filtration systems can enhance hydroponic farming efficiency by eliminating these unwanted impurities.
-
Commercial
BuildingCommercial water filtration is crucial for nearly any type of business. A quality water filtration system from Spiral Water can significantly reduce the risk of contaminant build-up, which could otherwise damage plumbing systems and jeopardize overall performance.
