Cooling towers act in a similar way to air scrubbers by collecting all particles from the surrounding environment into the cooling water. These particles, such as dust, sand, algaes and pollen easily attach to hot surfaces during circulation inside the cooling system and cause clogging, fouling and reduction in efficiency of the process, which results in the shut down of the system for cleaning. Efficient filtration is very important for maintaining the continuous operation of the cooling system.
By using Filternox® filters in your HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning) or cooling tower water treatment systems, either as sidestream or full flow applications, you will avoid all of these problems.
By filtering the cooling water, you will also decrease chemical material consumption for water conditioning. (chlorine, biocides, algaecides, etc.)

Experts in Water Reuse & Recycling
The world will begin running out of clean water!
Global clean water shortages to be expected at alarmingly increasing rates in the near future.
Clean water has become a major problem since water usage has increased with the increasing population and the development of the industries. Water shortage brings people to seek for alternative water sources for irrigation.
The problem is: “How do municipalities, especially the municipalities in the Middle East, continue to irrigate green fields? How are they going to build new green zones? How are we going to maintain recreational areas such lawns and gardens?”
The answer is to reuse wastewater! Especially in the Middle East, water shortage has led people to use treated sewage effluent (TSE) as a water source for landscaping. With wastewater recovery, it is possible to supply the amount of water used in landscaping. In this case, filtration and disinfection become important together with a properly operating water treatment plant.
At this moment Filternox® Filters are on the scene.
Why Filternox?
As Filternox® we are involved in many landscaping & irrigation projects worldwide and specifically, we have many filtration applications which were held by UAE. Depending on the water quality, Filternox® recommends its high technology SPT-WBV-MR filters which can handle high dirt loads.
Patented technology SPT-WBV-MR filters have many advantages for the municipalities such as;
- Less maintenance requirement in the irrigation system with our non-clog filter
- Saving regular maintenance time and labor cost due to blockages in irrigation equipment
- Low footprint with its compact design even in high flow rates
- Easy installation horizontally or vertically, both inline and online
- Low installation cost
- The lowest head loss with its special design
- Simple design, at least 50% less parts (spare parts and consumables) compared to the old technology filters
- Easy control of all operations from the control panel
- Optional remote monitoring and control available
- Adjustable duration and the speed of the back-flushing to minimize the amount of drainage water
One of the most important features of Filternox® Filters is that they are non-clog type. In order to test this characteristic and prove it, our double cleaning technology filter has been challenged with the “Shanghai Test” in Holland. During this test, our filter with a filtration level of 20 microns has faced with 2000 ppm (suspended solids) artificial mud and eventually it continued its normal operation after each back-flush.
Municipal maintenance directors, consultants, and contractors are welcome to contact us and let us begin solving their problems to reduce maintenance costs together. With our more than 30 years of expertise in the field, we are ready to make tailor made designs for your applications with no extra cost.

FILTERNOX® IN SOLUTION MINING
The Solution Mining Research Institute (SMRI) defines solution mining as “mining of underground, water-soluble minerals, usually using one or more drilled wells to dissolve the minerals with water”. Minerals such as salt, potash, trona, and magnesium salts may be produced by pumping saturated fluid from underground caverns. The caverns are created by pumping out the saturated ‘brine’ while pumping in fresh water as a controlled production process. The minerals are then recovered from the saturated fluid by recrystallization.
Filternox® played a big role in the second biggest trona reserve in the world. Trona reserves are meant to be dissolved with hot water injection by production wells, which then forms trona solution (brine). This mining facility provides the trona solution (brine) which is the raw material of the process plant.
PROCESS
The trona (sodium sesquicarbonate Na2CO3 NaHCO32H2O) is mined by solution mining, a safe and environmentally friendly mining technique. The trona solution, i.e., brine which is subjected to monohydrate process in the production lines of process unit is converted into Dense Soda Ash and Sodium Bicarbonate products, and 2.5 million tons of Dense Soda Ash and 200,000 tons of Sodium Bicarbonate is produced annually.
DENSE SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE)
Dense soda ash produced from trona at the plant is used in a wide range of industrial areas such as glass industry, paper production, and detergent production. Sodium Carbonate is a basic salt. Its aqueous solution is clear and colourless, and its chemical formula is Na2CO3.
SOLUTION TREATMENT
In the solution pretreatment unit, suspended solids are removed from brine, which come from the mining wells. The suspended solids are removed with Filternox® filters. 16 units of Filternox® filters remove particles down to 25 micron. After the whole filtration process, the filtrated brine is stored in the raw brine tanks.

Filters for Ballast Water Treatment Systems
New regulations require for almost all types of vessels to implement filtration systems of maximum 50 microns followed by a UV system for disinfection of ballast water. Filternox® engineers developed a new model designed specifically for ballast water treatment.
As the ballast system requires high flows, and to meet the 50 micron filtration requirement, filtration surface areas have to be large. The technology used in Filternox® ballast water treatment systems provide the optimum surface area for efficient filtration.
Filternox® also offers models that combine two stage filtration within one unit with automatic self-cleaning of the coarse screen structure integrated into the fine screen body, making it ideal for management of ballast water.
For a more complete and safer ballast water filtration system, Filternox® can also implement the BMF-TW filter to eliminate larger particles and protect the pump.

Automotive Industry
Sprinkler System
Filternox® filters are widely used in the automotive industry as well as in different processes and units of many industrial plants such as iron and steel, paper, textile, plastic and chemistry.
Automatic Self-Cleaning filters are preferred for water recovery and spray nozzle clogging prevention in the sprinkler system where the vehicles are tested for leakages.
The vehicles are contaminated with sand, gravel, silt and other pollutants during the various tests carried out at open-air environment after their production. Following these tests, the vehicles are subjected to a leakage test. For that, the water sprayed on the vehicle is contaminated with pollutants on it and collected in a pool. The water in the pool is fed back to the sprinkler system to provide a continuous circulation.
These types of contaminants and particles must be removed before they pass to the water sprinkler system in order to prevent clogging at the spray nozzles and also to prevent scratching on the vehicle paint and make the test more efficient.
Filternox® SPT-WBV-MR model filtration system has a patented design that enables effective filtration of water containing coarse and fine particles. SPT-WBV-MR, which has a double-effect cleaning system with brush and vacuum nozzle, is automatically cleaned from coarse particles on the surface of the screen by brush and then fine particles from the surface of the screen by vacuum nozzle. cleaning.
Oil Refinery Applications
Filternox® provides efficient and easy-to-use solutions in the fields of Heat Exchanger Cooling Water and Sea Water Filtration.
Contaminants in your cooling water cause heat exchangers to get blocked. In this case, filtration is very important because this blockage will cause problems in your system by preventing cooling (heat transfer) at the desired level.
Filternox® filters filter both coarse and fine particles in your water and prevent clogging problems in the heat exchangers. In this way, you will increase your operating efficiency and reduce your operating and maintenance costs.
Filternox® filters save water by reducing the amount of waste water you discharge. Thus it reduces your operating costs and enabling you to have a more environmentally friendly system.
Filternox® filter models suggested for sea water filtration in oil refinery applications have special technology that can perform filtration for both coarse and fine particles in the same filter body. The filters have a double effect cleaning mechanism.(see video) In the first stage cleaning, coarse particles are removed from the drain by sweeping the surface of the screen with the aid of a brush. The second stage cleaning is realized just right after the brush cleaning which fine particles on the screen surface are sucked out of the drain by the help of a vacuum nozzle. The backflush drainage of the brush and nozzle systems are independent from each other. This cleaning process will be selected in two stages or three stages depending on your system pollution.

Greywater Applications
In recent years, water has become the biggest global concern due to depletion of water sources and global warming. This issue led people to find alternative solutions to preserve water sources and make benefit from water as much as possible. To reduce the domestic waste water discharged, new approaches have revealed. These new approaches aim to reevaluate domestic waste water by separating streams at the source with stream segregation as black water and greywater. Black water which can be basically defined as toilet wastewater and greywater is any domestic wastewater but toilet wastewater.
In conventional wastewater management systems, domestic wastewater is collected by a sewer system which mixes less polluted wastewater with the high polluted. This is ending up large investments on both drinking water supply and wastewater treatment systems. In recent years, domestic wastewater has been accepted as a source to be reevaluated.
Greywater is composed of anything (wash basins, bathtubs, laundry and kitchen sinks) but the toilet wastewater. Greywater is rich in organic matter but less polluted than black water. Greywater can be reused for cleaning, irrigation, toilet flushing and car washing.
Considering the amount of black water and greywater, 75% of domestic wastewater is composed of greywater.
Since greywater has no remarkable pollution and has no toilet wastewater inside, it has less amounts of pathogens and low concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorous. Hence, the treatment and the reuse of greywater are easier to apply and cost-friendly.
How Filternox® Filters are used in Greywater Applications?
Filternox® filters play a big role in Greywater Applications to remove solid particles like hair, dust, sand, mud and other suspended solids for various applications. For example in drip irrigation systems, tubing has very small drippers. These drippers get clogged very quickly by particles in greywater. In order to achieve a great success in greywater use, drip irrigation filtration is required to prevent clogging of outlets. Filternox® Automatic Self-Cleaning Filters provide solution in this case by removing these solid particles and prolong drip irrigation system’s life.
Another example, in car washing, it is needed to get rid of the solid particles in the greywater.
Otherwise these particles scratch the car paint and cause damage on the car surface. Car washing companies prefer Filternox® Self-Cleaning Filters to avoid any damage to their clients’ cars.
In domestic greywater use like toilet flushing, it is important to prevent clogging in the pipes and prevent accumulation of solid particles in the toilet to avoid bad, unaesthetic view.
Recommended filters for greywater applications
Filternox® FMS-WBV-MR and FMS-W&FMS-W-MR Self-Cleaning Filters are our recommended filters for greywater applications and all these models can be easily adapted into the existing system.

Filternox Filters VS Sand Filters
Real-world benefits of using Filternox filters over conventional sand filters:
| Automatic Filternox Filters | Pressurized Sand Filters | |
|---|---|---|
Space Occupation |
Requires less space for any given capacity. |
Requires a larger space to filter same amount of liquids. |
Footprint |
The space occupied is up to 6 times less area. | Sand filters occupy a large area which can be used for other tasks instead. |
Total weight |
Weighs up to 6 times less. Provides easy storage and maintenance. |
Weighs considerably more and hard to handle and store.
Bulk weights make initial construction cost, maintenance, operation and storage area availability huge problems to deal with. |
Backflush water consumption |
Back-flush water is 15 times less. Save money and the environment. | Large volume of water is needed for back-flush. |
Energy requirement |
Up to 100 times less energy is required for usual operation. | Requires high amount of energy with high operation cost. |
Energy options |
Thanks to their efficient designs, Filternox filters can be operated with solar energy. | No alternative energy option is presented with sensible gains and return on investment. |
Filtration efficiency VS time |
Requires much less frequent maintenance and performance degradation is negligible. | Sand filters require frequent and costly care. Significant performance degradation before sand change can result in complete system failure leaving you with damaged valuable equipment. In addition to high cost repairs, bacterial growth can raise catastrophic health and safety issues. Sand leak can be a possible problem. |
Initial cost |
Requires about one-third of a conventional sand filter’s initial cost. |
High cost, low Return on Investment. Does not meet expectations. |
Transportation cost |
Cheaper to transport considering its volume and weight. | Very expensive and time consuming to transport and to put back in operational state. |
