Industrial water filters are used primarily in large-scale metal and chemical processing plants, manufacturing plants, food production facilities, and other industrial sites. These water filter systems work by disinfecting or removing particles, bacteria, and other contaminants from the water before it is consumed. In this post, we shall focus much on the common types of industrial water filter systems you will get in the market.
- Mechanical Filters
Mechanical filters are probably the most common type of filter. They operate by physically removing contaminants, sediments or dirt from the water. The most common form of mechanical water filters includes mesh or ceramic filters.
- Sequestration Filters
Sequestration filters are used in case of very stringent water quality requirements. They use chemically isolating substances to prevent pathogens and chemicals from passing through the filter. These filters use a chemical known as zeolite, vermiculite, activated carbon or polymer resin.
- Ultraviolet (UV) Filters
Ultraviolet filters are mainly used to disinfect water that is chlorinated. These filters utilize ultraviolet radiation to kill bacteria and other microbes in the water.
- Reverse Osmosis Filters
Reverse Osmosis is the process of forcing water through a semipermeable membrane and removing the contaminants, minerals, and dissolved gases from water. Reverse Osmosis systems are mainly used in various multi-stage and ultrafine filtration applications in water treatment technology.
While there are many other methods of water filtration in the market, the ones mentioned above are some of the most used. Robert B. Hill Co has specialized in industrial water filter systems since 1958 and will be glad to help you with whatever water filtration needs you may have.
