Based in the San Francisco Bay area, Spiral Water Technologies will showcase its self-cleaning water treatment filter, designed to address the challenges of difficult-to-treat waters, at Aquatech Amsterdam 2015, in November.
The company says its Spiral Water Automatic Self Cleaning Filter system provides 10 to 100 micron filtration and offers industrial, municipal and marine customers a water treatment system for their primary, pre-filtration or post-filtration applications.
Each filter contains a motor-driven spiral shaped brush that continuously cleans collected debris from inside the filter element. Solids collected at the end of the filter housing may be expelled through an automatic purge valve. The system does not require high pressures to operate, and it performs at very low differential pressure.
Target applications include industrial waste and process water, oil and gas produced water, industrial water, desalination, industrial wastewater reuse and recycling, marine and ballast water, mining, power generation and hydro power, food and beverage, and pretreatment for MF/UF/RO.
