Filtration-Separating Solids from Liquids
Why do I need filtration?
Filtration prolongs the life of pumps, nozzles, water treatment, ultra-filtration and other machinery by minimizing wear due to solids accumulation and circulation, as well as minimizes the threat of particle-related diseases such as Legionella in cooling towers and pneumonia. It increase equipment efficiencies and reduces maintenance costs and down time.
Cleaning your tower basin can be a thing of the past

Case Studies
Cool payback leads to hot opportunity - A 20% increase in cooling capacity and a $40,000 annual energy savings encouraged the Aberhart Hospital in Edmonton, Canada to apply Separators to their heating loop systems. In the first 8 hours of operation, the system removed over 50 lbs. of iron oxide & debris.
No dirt or downtime in the desert - Computer chip manufacturer VLSI Technologies experienced routine system shutdowns for cleaning its four 45 x 20 foot remote tower sumps in San Antonio, Texas before the installation of TowerClean Systems. After 15 months of operation, they drained one basin and couldn't find 1 quart of dirt in the entire basin.
Separator eliminates strainer maintenance -To end the problem of extremely high strainer maintenance, a large communications company in Washington, D.C. retrofit a Separator into their building's cooling tower system and has just about eliminated the need for the strainer. In the first year of operation with the separator, the cooling tower's strainer was pulled twice, but only because they thought it would need cleaning. In both cases, however, they found the strainer remarkably clean . . . enough so to justify only a once-a-year inspection. A dramatic difference than before the Separator, when they were having to clean the strainer every 3-5 days.
Side-stream savings with separator - Four side-stream installations at American Honda in Los Angeles have eliminated a once weekly 8-hour cleaning of their cooling tower basins. Operating continuously without system shutdowns (even when evacuating the separated solids, thanks to the Solids Recovery Vessels), the Separator Systems perform with zero liquid loss to their system.
