Critical points
Membrane fouling, turbidity and corrosion are the three critical risk points of water treatment systems. Each is solved with a well-designed filtration strategy.
In RO and UF systems, membrane fouling and replacement are the biggest costs. 0.5–5 micron pre-filters ahead of the membrane capture suspended solids, extend membrane life and reduce CIP frequency. The investment typically pays back in 6–12 months.
Solution: Staged pre-filtration ahead of membranes
Microorganisms hiding behind particles are not affected by UV and chlorination systems. Pre-filtration removes this shadowing effect. Greywater purified by filtration is recovered as landscape or process water, reducing fresh water consumption.
Solution: Particle removal before disinfection
Standard 304 or 316 stainless steels quickly suffer pitting corrosion in seawater. Super Duplex steel or specially coated housings are mandatory in these applications.
Solution: Super Duplex or coated housings
Treatment line
Select a stage on your line to see the Prosestim filters and micron range used at that point.
01 · 50–300 µm
Washable elements that separate large particles at the raw water inlet extend the life of the consumable cartridges in later stages.
02 · 5–50 µm
Depth filters spread particles through the full thickness of the cartridge, so differential pressure rises slowly. On high-flow lines, High Flow cartridges reduce the number of cartridges.
03 · Activated carbon
Activated carbon cartridges adsorb chlorine, odor, taste and VOCs. CTO block and GAC granular types are selected according to flow and temperature conditions.
04 · 0,5–5 µm
0.5–5 micron pre-filters ahead of the membrane capture suspended solids, extend membrane life and reduce CIP frequency.
05 · Your existing system
In RO and UF systems, membrane fouling and replacement are the biggest costs. The earlier stages extend membrane life and reduce CIP frequency.
This stage is your existing equipment. Let’s design the earlier stages together; our engineers will recommend the right filter.
06 · UV · chlorination
Microorganisms hiding behind particles are not affected by UV and chlorination systems. Pre-filtration removes this shadowing effect.
