Steel Industry Case Studies
RF14 Clears Cottonwood Contamination from Cooling Water
When a steel mill was experiencing frequent clogging in their equipment, forcing frequent and costly downtime to unclog nozzles and other components, Schroeder Industries identified cottonwood seeds and fluff as the culprit!
The customer’s cooling water supply was exposed to seasonal cottonwood contamination through its cooling towers, which drew in enough fibers to cause serious clogging.
Fortunately, the AutoFilt® RF14 is designed for exactly this type of scenario, and was able to eliminate these service interruptions!
Here’s how the RF14 benefited this customer:
RF14 Backlflushing Allows Continuous Filtration
Cooling Water Quality Maintained
No Service Interruptions Since RF14 Installation
TDS-E Provides 70% Hydraulic Fluid Saturation Reduction for Stainless Steel Producer
A domestic stainless steel producer based in Alabama was experiencing failures in their water cooled heat exchanger due to high concentration of water present in their hydraulic fluid (approximately 900 gallons).
When a competitor rental dehydrator was unable to make progress on reducing the hydraulic fluid saturation levels, a TDS-E from Schroeder Industries provided rapid results!
Here’s how the TDS-E benefited this customer:
50% Saturation Reduction in 15 Hours
30% Saturation Reached and Maintained
Downtime from Water Contamination Reduced
