Side Stream Filtration

Our Side Stream Filter for Cooling Towers is designed to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your cooling tower system. It is a crucial element in any water treatment program for cooling towers, as it effectively removes impurities and contaminants from the circulating water, preventing scale formation, corrosion, and microbial growth. Applications :- Industrial Cooling Towers Process Cooling Systems Power Generation Facilities Manufacturing Plants

Several parameters of water quality can affect cooling system performance like TDS, pH, Alkalinity, hardness etc. Comparing the analytical reports of make up water and circulating water, the predictions can be made about the behavioral pattern also. But most of times, total dissolved solids may not be able to be predicated as air drawn into the cooling tower always contains dirt, dust, soot gases etc. This TDS will get concentrated further. To add more, factors like wind direction, pollution levels of the area, discharge by vehicles, and discharge by neighboring companies will decide the continuous TDS addition factor.This TDS level is also supplemented by corrosion products produced in cooling system, microbes slime developed process leaks etc. Some process leak product induces microbial growth in the water resulting in more corrosion of the system.All these particulate matter form scales with scale forming ions and foul the system with the help of slimy layers. This fouling scale built up is harmful to the heat transfer efficiency, flow rates across the heat exchangers. Slower flow will avoid to build up, which amplifies the problem more.If we maintain the cooling clean then the benefits can be summarized as follows:1. Increases the efficiency reduces the energy consumption.2. Reduces chemical treatment cost as chemical consumption by particles will reduce. Remember, dirty water requires more chemicals than clean water.3. Lowers maintenance costs.4. Increases uptime of your system. In a nutshell, maintaining cooling water and cooling system clean free of scales or fouling will result in less of downtime, energy saving and better heat transfers.The Legion Ella Bacteria thrive in the presence of bio film, scales and in the temperature of 30 to 45 C. If the system is maintained clean and scale depositions free then Legion Ella growth can be controlled as the natural habitat nutrients are not available for Legion Ella growth.Control of suspended particles is easily achieved by effective filtration. This is as essential as an oil filter in the car for engine protection or the kidneys in your body or the air filters in the jet engines.Side stream filtration is the most practical effective in cooling water systems. Maximum flow rate, it can be designed to is 10%, with minimum of 5%, which is optimum. Removal of particles up to the size of 5 to 10 microns is required which can be done by,1. Cartridge Filters 2. Centrifugal Separators 3. Pressure Sand Filters In Cartridge Filters, continuously cartridges have to be removed which results in high operation cost. Centrifugal Separators remove particles in the range of 70 to 100 microns, which results in inadequate filtration.In Pressure Sand Filter, the initial cost is low and operating cost is very minimal and they are more economical in the long run.Water enters in SSF s over a sand bed and during operations, they covers or coat the filtering media which acts as finer filtering bed which removes the size up to 20 microns. The media can be used in service for years.Side Stream Filter can be installed in the process cooling lines or on the return line depending on availability of space.Summary:Keep your circulating water clean and maximise the efficiency of any cooling system with the help of Side Stream Filter.

Side Stream filters are most commonly used for Cooling Tower water filtration. They use relatively coarse sand and other granular media to remove particles and impurities in the Cooling tower water. Water flows through the filter medium under pressure and the suspended particles are trapped in the sand matrix. These filters are typically designed with high filtration velocities.
