Industrial Water Filtration
Process and cooling water require reliable removal of suspended solids and particulates to protect downstream equipment.
We engineer precision stainless steel wire mesh screens and sintered filter elements for intake screening, cooling towers, and closed-loop process lines. Each configuration maintains stable flow velocity while preventing media migration under fluctuating differential pressures.
Overview
Industrial process and cooling water filtration safeguards continuous production lines by capturing suspended solids, pipe scale, silt, and bio-floc before fluid streams enter critical equipment. Reliable particulate retention shields pumps from abrasive cavitation and keeps heat exchanger plates free of thermal-insulating fouling layers.
MutualFilter supplies rigid stainless steel woven wire cloth, custom strainer baskets, and multi-layer sintered screen cylinders designed specifically for demanding municipal intake, recirculating cooling towers, injection molding circuits, and heavy industrial rinse stages.
Filtration Requirements
Standard technical parameters applied across automatic self-cleaning strainers, basket filters, and water intake screens.
Particle size & aperture rating
Nominal to absolute retention for suspended solids, scale, and particulate capture.
Flow rate capacity
High open-area weaves optimized to maintain maximum throughput with minimal face velocity.
Corrosion resistance
Resistant to chlorides, biocides, cooling tower chemistries, and brackish industrial feed water.
Screen configuration
Rigid welded or sintered multilayer assemblies engineered for automatic backwash strainers.
Differential pressure tolerance
Continuous structural stability up to 5.0 bar collapse pressure under differential fouling load.
