Intercool Conferences
Abu Dhabi, Nov 27th & Dubai , Nov26th

Close to 100 consultants, MEP contractors and officials attended each one of the 2 presentations done in Dubai and Abu Dhabi late November during the Big 5 meeting. Sonitec-Vortisand was selected to conduct a technical training session on the H²F Vortisand during the exhibition Big 5.

Just like the original Vortisand product line, the H²F Vortisand offers these key competitive advantages:

  • Speed of 50m/h (5 x faster than regular Multi-media filters designed for high water quality)
  • Efficiently removes particles of less than 1µ (10 to 50 times smaller than traditional filters)
  • Water savings of  up to 50% during backwash vs. regular sand filters

When used in cooling systems:

  • Energy savings of 10%-20% on chillers operating cost
  • Chemical additives savings of up to 20% while improving their efficiency
  • Total operating cost up to 3 times lower than with solid separators or regular sand filters
  • Flow rate sample for side stream application is 2 to 5 x smaller than other filtration methods
  • LEED point(s) accumulation towards this certification on most applications
