Sidestream Filtration

Sidestream filters operate by filtering a small percentage of the system's total flow (typically 5-15%), allowing the entire system volume to be filtered multiple times within a 24-hour period. This continuous filtration process helps maintain water quality, ensuring that the entire system remains free of contaminants such as suspended solids, scale, and biofilm.

Sidestream Filtration

At Industrial Filtration, we understand the critical role that water quality plays in the performance and longevity of mechanical systems. Sidestream filtration offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for maintaining high-quality water in Closed Hot Water (CHW), Low-Temperature Hot Water (LTHW), and Medium-Temperature Hot Water (MTHW) circuits.

 

The Importance of Water Treatment and Filtration

A comprehensive water treatment program is essential in controlling corrosion, scale formation, and biological contamination. However, even the most advanced water treatment chemicals can be less effective if suspended particles are present in the water. These particles can exacerbate corrosion, promote biological growth, and lead to persistent operational issues. By incorporating sidestream filtration into your water treatment plan, you can significantly reduce these risks, extending the operational life of your mechanical components and improving overall system efficiency.
