Filtration
Sea water
Hectron has designed filters specifically for seawater, with a metal/plastic hybrid construction for excellent corrosion resistance.
In desalination installations, our filters are used to protect the high-pressure pumps of reverse osmosis systems. When used as a pre-treatment before cartridge filters, they significantly extend the lifespan of the cartridges.
The protection of plate heat exchangers is another primary application for seawater.
Suitable equipment
AG AUTOMATIC FILTERS – Seawater Version
Available from 3 microns, these filters are used before cartridge filters to protect high-pressure reverse osmosis pumps.
Benefits
Ultrafine Filtration
100% automatic
AS AUTOMATIC FILTERS – Seawater Version
The AS filters are designed to operate at low pressure and are particularly suited for the protection of heat exchangers.
Benefits
Low pressure operation
100% automatic
