What is Process Filtration?

For a complete listing of Schroeder Industries’ Process Filters, click here.

Process filtration is a large focal point of what we do at Schroeder Industries.

The filtration process is commonly used to remove contamination and solid particles from gas-solid or liquid-solid process streams.

Additionally, there are filtration solutions to improve one’s operating water quality. This includes:

  • Process water
  • Waste water
  • River water
  • Cooling towers
  • Backwash
  • Industrial gases
  • Low-viscosity fluids
  • And all other types of oil, fuel, water, and compressed gases

We’ve even coined the phrase “if it flows, it’s probably Schroeder”.

Trust the Experts of Process Filtration

The importance of filtration in treatment processes such as process water, wastewater discharge, or reuse is critical.

Moving liquids or gases from somewhere like a refinery, food/beverage, steel, automotive, pulp and paper or oil produced water application requires pre-filtration due to high amounts of suspended solids in these typical applications.

In fact, there are typically several filtration and treatment steps in these applications to ensure that the treated water meets the required discharge or reuse standard.

In addition, filtration in treatment schemes ensures reduced operating cost on downstream polishing treatment systems.

Schroeder Industries Focuses on Your Process and Delivery Reliability and Improvements

We understand that your water source, specific application and downstream equipment is imperative in releasing the overall information required to provide our customers with the optimized filtration solution.

Poor filtration can cause a degradation of your final product or failure of downstream equipment. This can cause hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars in downtime or wasted product.

Schroeder Industries is here to partner with you to insure reduced maintenance and high quality filtration designed specifically for your application.

 

The most important aspects of the application of filtration process include:

  • Performance
  • Efficiency
  • System parameters
  • Stable emulsions
  • Water intake
  • Economic impact

For instance, a very important step in a membrane treatment plant in the United States is the pretreatment of fluid to remove large particulate and biologicals.

If unmanaged, poor prefiltration can result in:

  • Increased maintenance costs
  • Increased energy consumption
  • Damaged components (like a pump or heat exchanger)
  • Reduced service times

 

But why Schroeder? Product Support from the Experts at JarvisXR.

At Schroeder Industries, our 75 years of industrial application of filtration has lead us to offering just three (3) common design-types of process filters:

  • Backflush, Self Cleaning Filters/Strainers (automatic and manual) covering a wide range of flow and filtration ratings.
    • The elements in all backflush filters are reusable and economically sound.
    • Backflush filters offer low maintenance requirement and low operating costs.
    • This includes our line of backwash, automatic self cleaning water filters and auto strainer filters.
  • Bag Filter Systems come in multiple standard sizes of 1, 2, 3, and 4.
    • These are most suitable for coarse and fine filtration.
    • This includes our line of single, duplex and oil absorbing bag housing and element solutions.
  • Cartridge Filter Systems are elements that apply depth filtration.
    • Depth filtration increases dirt holding capacity while offering efficient filtration.
    • These are also suitable for fine filtration.
    • This includes our line of self cleaning cartridge filters, basket strainers, and more.
