Cooling tower water filtration test with drum filter, hydrocyclone and Filternox® FMS-MR model automatic self cleaning filters.

The Filternox Engineering team conducted a comprehensive Cooling Tower Water Filtration Test, evaluating the performance of a drum filter, a hydrocyclone, and Filternox® FMS-V-MR model automatic self-cleaning filters. The primary objective of the test was to compare the pre-filtration capabilities of the hydrocyclone and the drum filter prior to the final filtration stage using the FMS-MR model filters.

A series of filtration tests were conducted at a leading steel production company over a 5-day period, commencing on December 25, 2023. During the 5-day period, the efficiency tests were conducted on Drum Filter and Hydrocyclone at different microns and flow rates. These tests were completed with Filternox® Drum Filter and Filternox® Hydrocyclone at flow rates of 10-15-20 m3/h.

Following extensive testing, the Technical Management of Steel-Iron Industry Company opted to implement the hydrocyclone application prior to the installation of automated Self-Cleaning Filternox Filters. In response to the client’s specifications, Filternox Engineering designed a hydrocyclone with a 200 m3/h capacity, which was subsequently manufactured entirely from duplex stainless steel.
