Application
You can see many types of filters present in the market. But keep in mind that different filters have different abilities. Other filters though have some limitations to some extent. You must consider different factors according to the demands of the application system.
Level of contamination
You must check the level of contamination of your water. The reason is that if there is a high amount of solid impurities, then you have to use the pre-filters. Also, you will have to do frequent cleaning and replacement of filters if your water is heavily polluted.
Types of filtration
There are many types of filtration processes from which you can choose according to your choice and convenience.
· Many filtration systems require continuous filtration.
· Many application systems continuously move the work unit without a break. These systems are also included in continuous filtration.
· In some filtration processes, you need the given amount of water at a time to be filtered. These are called batch applications. Keep this thing in mind that you can use simple filters in batch filtration processes.
Quality standards for filtration
The quality of the water is very much important that you get after the filtration process. Also, it’s quality will determine the types of filters you need for your operation.
Keep this thing in mind that if you want filtered water for human consumption, then your filter must have the ability to eradicate heavy metals, pathogenic bacteria, and other hazardous products.
Operation conditions and requirements of your process
Keep in mind all the operational requirements that match your filters. You must be aware of the pressure-flow rate and temperature of your filtration process.
Keep in mind that every screen has maximum operating temperature and pressure as well as flow rates. So you must go for the high-pressure filtration system because low flow rates will tremendously slow down your operations. Along with the low pressure, the low working temperature will also break down and shut down the process.
Nature and characteristics of the contaminants
While using any filtration system, you must be aware of the nature and characteristics of the contaminants present in the water. For this purpose, you should know about the size and type of the impurities you need to filter out. There is a massive difference between solid and liquid contaminants. The main focus is on determining the pollutants that are harmful to your health. For this purpose, you must need specialized support equipment and installation to ensure the protection of human health.
The operation cost of filters
Before purchasing any type of water filtration system, you must enquire the initial cost of the screen as well as other operational expenses. Other expenses include replacement and installation costs. Along with it, you must also consider the downtime cost and waste disposal cost.
