•White Paper (Updated): Self-Cleaning Pre-Filtration For R.O. Membrane Systems
Recent advancements in the manufacturing technology of woven stainless steel screens have created new applications for mechanical filtration systems. One such application is the pretreatment of water supplied to Reverse Osmosis and other demineralization systems. Standard practice for pretreatment is a multimedia depth filtration system followed by disposable cartridge filters ahead of the RO system. The introduction of self-cleaning mechanical filters, which effectively remove a significant portion of the particles as fine as 1 micron in size, allow plant designers an alternative to multimedia systems. The advantages of mechanical filters are simplicity of operation, small footprints, less complexity in piping and valving, and higher efficiency resulting in reduction of the backwash water by 80-90%. This paper describes two sites where a mechanical filter is used as the pretreatment to a demineralizer in an electric utility. Filtration data is presented for a well water and reservoir water supply. The effectiveness of the mechanical filter on each water source is compared.
