Filtration of water networks
Industrial sites need quality water, either for process water or cooling network.
For process water, Hectron filters improve water quality, coming from rivers or borehole. Our filters are fully automatic, have no need of consumables and require minimum maintenance.
Cooling networks and cooling towers quickly load with dust, fine metal particles, plastic residues (in plastics factories) or algae. Compared to magnetic filters, our filters retain more solids, including non-metallic dust. Having a good filtration helps to reduce water chemical treatment.

Steel wire drawing plant. Machine cooling network with cooling tower. To limit the growth of flora clogging the pipes while reducing chemical water treatment, a filtration system was installed. From a total flow rate of 350 to 400 m3/h, a portion of the water (60 m³/h) is sampled and filtered through an AG300 DN100 with a 20 μm filter.

Filtration at the outlet of the plant’s WWTP. The existing filters (500 μm) did not provide sufficient water quality. Installation of an AG200 2” PN10 200 μm filter.
