Corrosion issues and self-cleaning issues have proven that many filters are not suited for the job

Especially in aggressive environments, like seawater applications, metal corrosion can be severe. Traditional anti-corrosion solutions like carbon steel protected by rubber lining or glass flake coating have limited success mainly due to operational issues where the protective lining/coating gets damaged which accelerates spot corrosion.

There are many types of self-cleaning filters available in the market all with specific (dis)advantages.

One fundamental design future largely determines whether a filter is suited for the application: its self-cleaning capability. There is a common understanding that a self-cleaning filter must have superior self-cleaning capabilities to provide trouble-free operation for years to come.

Poor self-cleaning capabilities result in clogged filters that cannot be cleaned automatically and will result in less/no filtered water available and requires unwanted manual operator intervention to clean the filter by hand.

Therefore, having the right filter suited for the job will prevent:

• Significant unexpected downtime.
• Unscheduled maintenance.
• Higher energy costs.
• Higher maintenance and operational costs.
• Inadequate water treatment with risk of severe downstream process failures due to poor water quality and no flow/reduced flow conditions.
• Premature replacement of filter housings and internal parts.

Moss Hydro understands these issues and manufactures filters made from stainless steel Duplex 2205 with superior self-cleaning capabilities suited for water applications in aggressive environments with filtration degrees from 10 micron to 500 micron.
