  • Stainless steel (AISI304, AISI316, Duplex, Super Duplex) (special)
  • GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester)

  • DIN
  • EN
  • ASME VIII Div.1

  • 500 – 4000 mm

  • 1-10 bar (possibility of higher pressures, consult)

  • Activated carbon

Internals and sight glasses.

Lower distributors:

  • Collector arms: suitable for washing only with water – economical – good performance – recommended by default.
  • Strainer plate.
  • Better distribution.
  • Necessary for air and water wash.
  • Higher price.

Upper diffusers:

  • GRP or Metal.

Sight glasses: highly recommended to validate the correct expansion of the beds during wash cycles and ensure proper backwashing.

  • Acrylic.
  • Glass.

The filtration fronts are designed based on the customer’s flow and quality requirements. I’mWATER can offer advice on system sizing.

  • Only water
  • Air + water
  • Manual
  • Automated

The system can include a valve front, either manual or automated. The automatic valves can be motorized or pneumatic.

Valve boxes for controlling the pneumatic system are also provided, as well as air compressors if necessary.

The filtration and automatic backwash system is controlled via a PLC installed in the electrical panel of the installation.

  • Filters
  • Automatic valves for water inlet, water outlet, wash water inlet, wash water outlet, air inlet, air outlet, partial drainage…
  • Drain valves, triple-effect air release valves, safety valves
  • Dedicated backwash pump
  • Blower for air backwash
  • PLC for sequence control
