Industrial media filtration systems are used to treat contaminants in wastewater streams. Here are some of the top benefits of industrial filtration systems that you need to know.
Reduces
suspended solids
This is a no brainer. The basis of most filtration
systems is to reduce suspended solids and turbidity in water. In most cases, it
is just a great way of lightening the load in process water applications. In
some industries such as the beverage and food industry, textiles, paper, oil
and gas produce high levels of suspended solids that make it hard for one
single treatment method to handle on its own. The work can be made easier by
using filtration systems.
Reduces
other contaminants
Filtration systems don’t just work on turbidity issues
or suspended solids depending on the method used. Top media filtration systems
can remove pollutants such as ammonia, trace metals, iron, volatile organic
compounds, and other pollutants depending on the system’s properties. These
filtration systems can reduce these contaminants to allow the efficiency of downstream
polishing treatment systems.
Treatment
efficiency
Filtration units can be used as supplements to other
water treatment systems to improve the efficiency of the treatment process.
This improved efficiency comes down to either polishing or pre-treatment. As a
pre-treatment, water filtration systems are used to reduce the concentrations
of contaminants for other treatment systems in wastewater applications.
A lot of these downstream polishing systems work more
efficiently at reduced concentrations. This way, the removal rates of
contaminants are increased. In some cases, these filtration systems are used in
a polishing process step.
Less
maintenance of equipment
When filtration systems are operated in maximum
efficiency conditions, provide for lower maintenance of equipment for
downstream processes. They are designed to operate this way for this reason.
It is important to understand that the benefits of media filtration systems listed above will depend on the type of filtration
system being used.
