Seawater filtration

Hectron offers filters specifically designed for seawater, with optimum corrosion resistance. They are made in metal and plastics.

 

In desalination plants, our filters are used to protect the high pressure pumps of reverse osmosis systems. Used as a pre-treatment before cartridge filters, they greatly extend cartridges life-time.

 

Protection of plate heat exchangers is the other main application in seawater.
