Industrial Water Filters >>

Res-Kem's industrial water filters clarify water by removing sediment, turbidity, iron, unpleasant tastes, odors, suspended particles, or unwanted color commonly found in surface ground water.

Res-Kem industrial water filters can be used in a variety of service conditions including municipal, institutional and industrial water filtration applications. With the utilization of the correct pressure tanks, valves and accurate filter media choice Res-Kem’s industrial water filters can suit most industrial water filtration requirements. Our industrial water filter equipment can be designed to operate manually, semi- or fully-automatically and require very limited technical knowledge.

Res-Kem Industrial Water Filters can utilize several different types of filter beds:

1. Sand: Commonly used in most standard industrial water filtration systems for removal of suspended solids and turbidity.

2. Greensand: Commonly used in industrial water filtration systems for removal dissolved iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide. Greensand filters are generally limited to application where the combined iron and manganese concentration is below 15 ppm.

3. Anthracite: Performs nearly identical to a sand bed and used in industrial water filtration equipment where silica pick-up from sand is objectionable.
4. In-Depth: These beds are composed of several layers of different media size. In-depth filters allow higher loading rates and longer runs. A sand and anthracite bed is a typical industrial configuration. In-Depth filters will remove sediment down to the 20-30 micron range.
5. Multi-Media: Consists of multiple layers of sand, anthracite and garnet. Multi-Media industrial water filters remove sediment down to the 10 micron range.

6. Activated Carbon: This water filtration equipment is recommended for the removal of unpleasant tastes and odors, dechlorination, or organic contaminant adsorption. Depending upon the exact application a variety of carbon types can be used.

7. Harmsco® Cartridge Filters and Housings: Harmsco water filtration equipment is recommended for the removal of suspended materials. With proper cartridge selection, unpleasant tastes and odors, dechlorination, or organic contaminant adsorption could be removed.

Quality Tank Construction

All standard Res-Kem industrial water filters include pressure tanks constructed of high quality welded steel designed for 100 psi working pressure and tested for 150 psi. Standard pressure tanks are equipped with inlet and outlet connections, top mounted loading port (either handhole or manhole), and a side filter media removal fitting. Due to the corrosive nature of certain filter media types, all tanks are epoxy lined. Stainless steel or Fiberglass pressure tanks are available for custom industrial water filters.

Underdrains

The Res-Kem hub and lateral distribution system is designed to utilize the entire bed area during all flow rates. This minimizes channeling during periods of low flow. The standard underdrains (internals) are constructed of PVC with schedule 80 laterals ensuring maximum corrosion protection and strength. Optional materials are available to meet most requirements; i.e. CPVC, Polypropylene or Stainless Steel.

Diaphragm Valves

To answer a need for truly trouble-free, labor saving, automated equipment; Res-Kem engineers designed the ultimate industrial water filter using a "Nest" of GE Aquamatic diaphragm valves. The angular design, high lift, and large seat opening of these hydraulically operated valves provide a minimum restriction to flow and reduction of turbulence. They are controlled by a "Stager" to backwash the filter and return it to service without any manual attention.

Timer/Controller

The standard method of control for automatic industrial water filters is accomplished through the use of a heavy-duty stager with an integral clock timer. This control has a built in manual override feature should backwashing be required at times other than at its pre-determined time.
