Water & Waste Water
Typical Filtrex applications include bottled water, R.O. membrane protection, pond water, cooling tower water, gas & oil drilling make-up water, D.I. water, waste water and dairy wash water.
Process & Chemical Fluids
The Filtrex Systems have produced outstanding results with Processed & Chemical Fluids, such as resins, paints, photographic solutions, ink manufacture, adhesives, herbicides & pesticides, sodium sulphates, cellulose nitrates, sodium chlorides, sulphuric acid and many, many more
Hydraulic Lubricants & Coolants
Filtrex provides the necessary state-of-the-art technology capable of delivering the ultimate in filtering efficiencies. This high standard of excellence is achieved with the absolute minimum of maintenance and negligible operator interface plus virtually no costly down time.
Petroleum
Meeting the ever growing demands of the pertoleum industry, Filtrex applications include: amine feedstocks, reduced crudes, fuel & motor oils, injection fluids, synthetic lubricants and completion fluids.
Filtrex Corporation meets the exacting demands of the paper industry. Applications in this field include: Intake water, coolant water, waste water, white water, green & black liquor, mill water, dyes, pump seal water, decker shower water, clay slurry and all wet end additives.
Food & Beverages
Filtrex leads the way in the filtration processes of food & beverage production. Including: corn syrup, dextrose, caro, jelly, juices, edible oils, milk sugar, city & well water, extracts, chocolates, soybeans, and beer & wine production.
Municipal Applications
The entrainment and/or impingement of fish, larvae, fish egg, and other biota have been a longstanding problem in the design of intake systems for withdrawal of large quantities of water from surface water sources. As part of the Clean Water Act Section 316(b) rules, the EPA monitors and regulates "the location, design, construction and capacity of water intake structures" to require that they reflect "the best technology available for minimizing adverse enviromental impact(s)."
Because of the small size of fish eggs (eg. 0.5mm) and larvae (eg. 0.34mm), the potential to ingest and destroy eggs and larvae, when large intake surface for cooling towers, water treatment plants and other industrial plants is probably the most significant issue this ruling has to deal with.
In an effort to address the above issues and to develop an alternative method of intake screening/filtration that can be enviromentally effective as well as operationally acceptable, an investigation was initiated to analyze the preformance and to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Filtrex technology as a alternative approach to large scale service intake systems.
Two major tests were carried out on the Filtrex system. One was done by Alden labs and the other was an actual field test carried out on the Taunton River Desalination Plant. See Attached Test Reports in the Download Section.
